Dog Walking Hazard

About: Hi! I’m Kate, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Pet care isn’t just a side job for me- It’s my full-time career, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide reliable, attentive care whenever you need it. I grew up with dogs and cats and currently share my home with a dog, two cats, and three gargoyle geckos. Over the years I’ve also cared for bearded dragons, snakes, axolotls, spiders, and isopods, so I’m comfortable with both traditional and exotic pets. One of my greatest strengths is working with pets that need a little extra patience. I have experience caring for highly reactive dogs and understand how important it is to move at their pace, read their body language, respect their boundaries, and build trust. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, anxious, or reactive, my goal is always to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Because pet sitting is my full-time focus, I’m able to accommodate a wide range of schedules, including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and last-minute bookings whenever possible. Your pets won’t be rushed into a quick visit between other obligations- they’ll receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. I know every pet is an individual. Some want to play fetch for an hour, some want endless belly rubs, and others are happiest just having a calm companion nearby. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine and personality, whether that means long walks, enrichment games, cuddle time, or simply giving them space when they need it. As a pet owner myself, I know how stressful it can be to leave your animals in someone else’s care. That’s why communication is one of my top priorities. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos, videos, and messages so you can relax knowing exactly how your pets are doing. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. I’ll carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests to make sure your pet stays happy, healthy, and comfortable while your home is treated with the utmost respect. Whether you have a playful puppy, a senior cat, a reactive dog, or an exotic pet with specialized needs, I’d love the opportunity to care for them. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while giving your pets the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry, feathered, or scaly family members! Because pet care is my full-time career, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide variety of booking needs. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week, as well as weekends and most holidays. Whether you need a last-minute drop-in, a consistent daily schedule, or care while you’re away on vacation, I’ll do my best to work around your needs. Since I don’t have another full-time job competing for my attention, your pets receive dedicated, reliable care and aren’t rushed between appointments. I know that life doesn’t always go according to plan, so I’m happy to accommodate schedule changes and last-minute requests whenever my calendar allows. My goal is to make finding dependable pet care as easy and stress-free as possible for you. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests to ensure they receive the best possible care. I have experience with pets of all ages and temperaments, including highly reactive dogs, and I always use calm, patient handling while respecting each animal’s boundaries. For pets staying in my home, I have a fully fenced yard where they can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and enrichment while supervised. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, leaving it just as I found it. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and happy.

About: Hello everyone! I'm Abby, I've been around dogs all my life from puppies to senior dogs including medically complex fur babies. In my photos, the brown dog was my fur baby for 4 years a rescue that ended up with cancer, me and him fought for 2 of those 4 years before having to say goodbye, I do not currently have any pets. Just a side note, I do have a full time job that is in 8 hour shifts and I can't change that. I am currently an online university student, so I have tons for free time to watch your fur babies, and to play with them so they won't be lonely while y'all are gone. For house sitting I'm down for whatever, for the drop in Sun-Sat 7am-3pm. I will treat the babies like family to play, walk, and spoil with lots of love. If wanted I will send updates and photos of the fur babies as I understand the anxiety of being away from your pets and wondering if they are okay.

“Danielle has been fabulous. She was available last minute when I was in need on a Sunday right before an unexpectedly busy week. She responded within 15mins to my request, made time for a meet and greet same day, and was very communicative. She has been lovely with both dogs, capable of walking both at the same time, giving lots of attention, love, treats, and updates each time. I will happily use her services again. Highly recommend. Thank you for being amazing, Danielle.”

About: I am a stay at home mom with two kids that loves animals and we have a black lab! Our lab has had two litters so my home is set up for any size and type of dog. We have a big back yard with tall fences and a separate fenced off area in the back with a good amount of room. We love animals in this house so chilling out with us on the couch is great! And if your animal likes to be left alone we are ok with that too we have a basement that is away from the kids if they need a separate sleeping space. My dog is great with other dogs so all I ask is that your animal is good with kids and my dog😁 the dogs are free to roam around home and yard. I am a stay at home mom so I am home all day except when I need to get groceries or have a doctors appointment! I have a big fenced yard with a tall wooden fence. There is also a good sized fenced in area within the back yard. If your animal needs a crate you will need to provide it. My daughter loves dogs so they need to be good with kids.

“Krystyna is fabulous. Quick to respond and takes great care of my pooch. He even pouts when she brings him home. 12/10 recommend!”

About: I've had a cared for my own dog since I was 11 and cats since I was able to walk. I've always helped out with my grandparents dogs before having my own as well. Im currently working park time. So I have plenty of time to be with your pets! Just need time to check on my own kitty every once in a while. I live in an apartment, probably not the best for me to take in your pets. Better in your own home. Possible to work something out.

“Betty walked our dog daily while we were away, and she was excellent. She is a caring person with a great work ethic and is very communicative. I would highly recommend her for your pet care needs and will happily call upon her again in the future.”

About: I have two dogs of my own, one dog is Bud who is a golden doodle 2 years old and 85 pounds. My other dog is Lola who is a yorkie 14 years old and 15 pounds. I have a lot of experience with all the ages and sizes of dogs as well as senior dogs. I have always grown up with pups in the house. My family has 2 teacup chihuahuas and 2 frenchies. It is safe to say I have a good diversity in all kinds of dogs and how to care for different animals. I have also had a bunny in my past which was a fun time and lots of fish too! I work from home at my own time so I am available and very flexible with different schedules. I am able to work with different schedules and times. I have a safe home and environment and am close to parks for walks. I live with my two pets as well so the living situation is suitable for animals.

About: Since growing up I have always taken care of animals; big and small! I have worked with and trained service dogs. I am able to be gentle, patient, and open, but also strong when needed. I am able to administer medication when needed, and have taken some vet classes for both big and small animals! I am not currently working so I am at home all day to provide attention and care for your pup! I go on daily walks already allowing me to take your pup out for a good walk and burn energy I can easily crate your pup, I do not have a fence but areas for them to run around. I can provide attention in all their needs

About: Hello! I'm Taylor! My husband and I moved here from the Midwest a couple years ago and loved it so much we bought our first home! We brought our tuxedo cat, Benedict Mongoose "Goose" Cumberbatch, and our 15-year-old (but you wouldn't know it) puggle, Chuck, along for the ride, and they cannot wait to make friends with your fur babies! I am also more than happy to be available for pop-ins, walks, home/pet sitting, you name it! My love for animals is as old as I am. I grew up with sibling pairs of Great Danes, Shih Tzus, Rot/Lab mixes, and German Shepherds. I started caring for and riding horses at 10, helping at my Aunt Lucy's Paso Fino ranch, eventually riding Thoroughbreds and Arabians, learning new saddles and techniques, and volunteering my time caring/mucking for therapy horses at a nonprofit working with disabled children and adults through riding. I carried my love of animals through every stage of life. Helping people and caring for dogs, cats, horses, birds, homes, and the odd niece/nephew (easy when there are 32 of them) have been my life's constant joy. I am lucky to be able to work remotely as an independent contractor; this gives me flexibility throughout the day. I am able to provide near constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention. Your fur baby will never be left alone for long periods, and I can easily adapt to their usual daily needs such as feeding and walking schedule. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly resident pets: Chuck, our spry 15-year-old puggle who enjoys helping out in the garden, bunny hopping in the yard, hard-core cuddle sessions, and playing with his brother Goose (the cat), who likes dogs but also has plenty of high up hiding space, inaccessible to furry visitors. I ensure a safe, balanced environment by supervising all pet interactions closely. My home offers a structured routine, plenty of open space to play, and I can easily crate your dog if needed for bedtime or safety.

About: I won't just treat them as a "pet" I treat all animals as family. I have taken care of various dog and cats from family members and friends since I was a child. This included staying over, walking, feeding, training and playing. At the moment I am pursuing schooling for dog training so I have open availability for walks and drop ins! I usually ask for a days notice but it never hurts to ask. I have had experience with larger dogs (German shepherds, Great Pyerenese, Pitbulls and Saint Bernards) as well as small dogs (Chihuahua's, Shih Tzu and Dachshunds). I also provide baths and nail trimming when asked. I enjoy running too so if your looking to get your dog in shape! For pets coming to my house they must be crate trained (for when I sleep) and friendly with other dogs.

About: I am a young adult , looking to have extra cash and a lot of love from dogs. I am available in the afternoons and evenings and also work from home most days. I love the outdoors, so I will take your dog on great walks. I have also owned a dog most of my life and know how to care for animals. I have a lot of experience house sitting and dog/cat sitting. My parents had a dog that needed to take medicine and has dietary restrictions, so I have experience taking care of the special needs for dogs. I will love your dog and hope to see its waggy tale very soon. I have a full time job but it is flexible and I can come home on my lunch every day to let them out. I also work from home several days a week. I will spend time with them after work as well. My husband and I love dogs so this is a wonderful opportunity to hang with pups before we get one of our own. Our house is very dog friendly for house trained dogs and we have space for crates if they aren’t house trained yet.

About: I have volunteered at an animal rescue for about 2 years and I have a puppy who I trained and have cared for in the past year. I also have had cats all my life and have fostered pregnant kitties until their kittens were old enough to be adopted. I am currently at home most days, so long as I have some advanced notice I should be able to make anything work. The more time I have the more likely I am to be able to fit you in. I have a wide variety of leashes, dog toys, treats, and other supplies that I can use when working with your pets or I can work with their existing favorites if that is what is prefered. I will spend ample time playing with and caring for you pet. I signed up for Rover because I want to spend lots of time with your pets. If you want I can even help some with training because that is something I am studying and hoping to make a career of. I can take frequent potty breaks as needed and go on long walks if that's what your pet enjoys. I will sculpt the time I spend with your pet just how you want and try to replicate, if not improve the care you would provide if you were there.

“Sara saved our life while we were visiting Spokane from out of town! She helped my boyfriend‘s family take care of our two high-energy dogs while we were away from home for a friend’s wedding. She went above and beyond even assisting with a dog bath after the girls had rolled in something nice and smelly on their walk. I’d highly recommend Sara to anyone and am so grateful for her kindness while we were in a bind!”

“Lauren is an excellent dog walker. She was always prompt. She evaluated Clancy's needs each time to determine walk or not (especially when very hot outside), or play instead and worked on commands and provided meal, treats and water. She always provided feedback on Clancy and activities included. We loved the pictures & video she provided with each visit. We'd definitely use Lauren again. Also note that Clancy is a puppy (7 months old & weighs 48+ lbs) with lots of energy and Lauren handled him expertly.”

“Emily was timely and took my dog for a nice walk. I got pictures and updates while they were out and was able to relax knowing my dog was in great care.”

About: I have always been a lover of animals, growing up around many dogs, cats, and farm animals of all shapes and sizes. I began caring for animals at a young age, and continue to center my life around my furry friends. Working with easily excited or skittish animals is my specialty as I have taken training through a Washington state rescue on dealing with animals with separation/new people anxiety. I hope to meet your best friend(s) soon! I work part time as an event bartender usually from about 4pm-10pm plus commuting time. I will do my best to adhere to your pet's schedule around this. I am experienced with pets of all sorts backgrounds and needs. I know how to interact with pets to make them comfortable and keep them happy and entertained. I
