“Emily watched our zoo and house while we were away, and we came back to happy animals and a spotless home! Our dogs instantly felt comfortable around her at the meet-and-greet. She was receptive to all of the various needs and routines of our animals which gave us comfort while away. Emily is a sweet, responsible and trustworthy pet sitter, and we are happy to have found a dependable sitter!”

“Victoria was fantastic with my pup! I was very impressed by her professionalism, and could tell my dog had a great time with her. She was timely and very attentive to my dog’s schedule and needs. Definitely recommend!”

“This was our third time hiring Ann, and she was great! We had a less stressful vacation knowing that Ann was taking good care of our pups! She went above and beyond what I'd expect from a caretaker. She kept us informed during the week with daily text updates and photos; and she even checked our mail and set out our trash for pickup. I appreciate that she was willing and able to be flexible with timing after our return flight was delayed. Overall, a fantastic experience and we will definitely choose Ann again the next time we need a caretaker for our dogs.”

“We’ve had the pleasure to have Hannah look after our pack of dogs several times. The dogs love her and are always happy to see her. She stays at the house and is always conscientious and caring. In fact, she is caring for our 3 dogs this weekend too!”
“Brandi took great care of my two dogs. She communicated with me throughout her stay and sent pictures each day. She stayed at my house and everything was clean and tidy when I returned. Would book her again.”
“I highly recommend Sienna. With a full house of animals dog, cats, kittens and feeding the squirrels she did an awesome job. Several of my cats have special needs, some are semi-feral, some all feral and others are lap cats she took care of them all with great care. She communicates while you are away so you know how everything is going. Great job I will definitely hire her again.”

About: I have 6 years of experience as a veterinary technician in emergency and critical care. If your pets have any special medical needs, I can be your go-to sitter. I am also a current veterinary student at WSU. I have experience caring for all kinds of animals, from furry friends to exotics. During the summer my schedule is wide open. I work part-time, but will have plenty of time provide all of the care your pets may need. My extensive experience as a veterinary technician allows me to properly care for any pets with medical needs. My trained eye allows me to recognize if your pet is in any kind of medical distress, allowing you to relax while away from your beloved pets. I am well-versed in animal behavior as well, which allows me adjust to pets with anxiety or shyness.
About: ❗️Prices change upon contact, DM for more details❗️ I’ve grown up with dogs around me since I was little, from their puppy stages to their more senior years. I’ve taken care of different family’s pets for a few years now and they’ve loved the care I provided. With my own pets I am experienced with their walks, grooming and minor training with my latest dog, and of course feeding them (along with some supplements as needed). Currently I have a very open schedule as I am in college and my classes are in the later morning, so I have time to care throughout the week. I occasionally work weekends, sometimes a few nights during the week (usually 4-5 hours) otherwise I have an open schedule! I would prefer Venmo for payment if possible with you, if not totally no worries! Through my pet experience I will often play with the animals if they desire and need some energy out, or taking them on walks. In my own home I take the dogs to the backyard throwing a toy around or running with the dogs. My dogs have a strict schedule so we always feed them on time, one of them getting his pills and the other will have difficult time eating so I’ve found that ways that help him eat throughout the morning before I have to leave. Frequent bathroom breaks are needed of course, and I love being around the dogs so I usually hang out in their favorite spots with them while doing my own thing if everyone is just relaxing.
“Kaelyn is a thoughtful, conscientious house/pet sitter. She met all of our needs, and adjusted well when ouir plans shifted. Good communicator. I would not hesitate to call upon her again.”

About: I’ve grown up with animals of all kinds in my home. While I currently only have a cat, I’ve been the owner of several dogs, a couple snakes, a bearded dragon and I’m not afraid of really any type of animal. I have a pretty open schedule, single mom to a couple of boys and pet mom to one sweet cat. I love snuggling any animal. So I live in an apartment but very frequently go out to trails and parks with my kids, I would have no problem including your pet!
“Elizabeth was so wonderful! Will be making her our regular sitter for sure. She even took care of our cats, fish, and chickens, which allowed me to travel with total peace of mind. Her attention to specific instructions was impeccable. The cats and dog seemed so content when we arrived home.”

About: Hi my name is Lila! I have grown up with dogs my whole life and it’s safe to say they’re my favorite animals! I’m currently living in Idaho and miss my dogs back home. I figured this was a great way to fill that hole in my heart! I’m 21 years old and am very responsible. Please fill free to send me a text and we can see if i’d be a good match for u!! Im currently working full time, but I have no issue staying with your dogs over night and taking them for walks during my lunch hour! I currently live in a no-pet apartment so unfortunately I am unable to take pets to my home. But I am very open and excited to care for pets at my clients home! I would absolutely love to play, walk, feed, and love your pets! Again, I am very open to other chores or house keeping needs if requested! Please reach out and we can chat about your situation and I ensure you that I can meet your needs:)
About: What sets me apart is my background working in a veterinary hospital, which gives me hands-on experience recognizing health concerns, administering medications, and caring for animals with different needs. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or medical attention. I pay close attention to behavior and body language to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and always keep owners updated with messages and photos. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have experience working in a veterinary hospital and caring for my own dogs, so feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and monitoring pets’ health are second nature to me. I am very active and enjoy being outside, so I love incorporating walks, exercise, and quality time with pets into my day. I make sure every animal in my care gets plenty of attention, structure, and consistency. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. With my experience working in a veterinary hospital, I am very comfortable recognizing signs of stress or illness and ensuring pets stay healthy and happy. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, exercise, and plenty of attention. I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and feel secure whether I’m caring for them in my home or in their own home.
“Audrey did a wonderful job pet-sitting our 13 year old dog and tending our houseplants while we were away on vacation for a week. She was very responsive to our requests for updates and photos via text and also didn't hesitate to ask questions about anything she was unsure about. The house was in perfect shape when we got back. Would highly recommend her.”

About: I have been around animals since I was born, and wanted to be a veterinarian ever since I was three! I now attend WSU and am in my first year of veterinary school! I have worked with several different types of animals, ranging from mice and rats to horses. I currently have 3 of my own cats and two foster mice through a rescue in Pullman! I have a dog back at home in Tacoma too. If you need simple drop ins, pet sitting, or dog walks, I am here for you! I usually have classes from 1-5 PM, then work for a couple hours after that. I can usually stop by on weekends, late nights, or mornings/ early afternoons to take care of your pet! I will regularly check on the well-being of the animal. Not only will your pet be fed and taken out regularly, but any mess that we might make will be cleaned up better than we found it!
About: U of I student with flexible availability. I love to walk dogs, throw the ball, play tug of war. I have experience with a variety of breeds, sizes and temperaments. Flexible availability. I have at least a couple hours of availability every day, if not more. Just reach out and we can figure out a schedule that works for you. I will do everything I can to ensure your dog or cat is healthy, happy and safe. I strive to maintain a high level of accountability, transparency and respect.
About: I have been watching friends and families pets for as long as I can remember. I started dog-sitting as soon as I turned 16 and was able to spend the night in people's homes. I will make sure your pets get all the love and attention they desire and more. I have watched over a few senior pups, administering medication and helping them up and down stairs. I don't have any certifications in senior dog care, just experience. When you leave your pets in my hands, I can guarantee they will be loved as if they were my own! I am currently working part-time as well as an online student. This means I have a ton of time to play with your pups. I spend a lot of time walking and always appreciate a companion by my side. I am comfortable crating your dog if needed. I will make sure they get all the exercise they need throughout the day as well meeting their meal times with accuracy.
