Dog Walkers in Kalama, WA

About: Animals have always been a part of my life, they are my therapy. I started fostering dogs in middle school and now have two loving dogs of my own. I am great for long walks, cuddling and calming your furbabies and providing lots of tail wags . I am self-educated in first aid, medication administration and senior dogs & cats. I have enjoyed pet-sitting throughout my years and love to spoil. I am currently a homemaker with an open schedule which makes it perfect to hop on over to care for your furbabies and fill in last minute. Your pups will have my full attention and care. I provide walks, check-ins and overnight stays for your pet. I believe the best resource is keeping your pet in their home environment to make them feel relaxed and well cared for. I will need to know your furbabies healthcare and everyday needs as well as preferences & precautions while they are in my care. Let me know some of their favorite activities, toys & games so I can maintain some normalcy in their schedule.

“Kathryn did an amazing job with my energetic, reactive dog. She kept everyone safe, and even helped work on some skills to help her be less reactive! She really loves animals, and really knows her stuff. I highly recommend her!”

About: This is my first time trying to get into professional pet care, however, I have spent my entire life living with and taking care of pets. There hasn’t been a single moment where I have lived without cats or a dog in my home. I absolutely love getting to spend time with these animals as I find their companionship to be so rewarding. I find many animals seem to enjoy my own company, whether it’s due to my calm nature or inability to refuse petting them if they ask for it! I have no special skills to report, but I will say that I am happy to learn all there is about your furry best friend(s) to make sure you, and more importantly, they, are comfortable and happy. I’m currently available any day of the week to take care of your pets! No time is a bad time for me, unless it is very late in the day. I will care for your pets in your home by following any instructions you have given me for their safety and care and always keep an eye and ear on them. If I am taking your dog on a walk, I will make sure we stay clear of any visible signs of safety hazards and confrontation with other dogs/people.

About: Hi! My name is Emily, and I have many years of experience, caring for aquatic life, cats, and dogs. I also have a basic working knowledge of equine care, poultry rearing, and reptile maintenance. My profile is for canines, but if you have other species of animals that need to be cared for, message me and we can discuss rates as well as expectations! I am willing to care for reactive dogs with behavioral issues; we just need to have a honest conversation in the beginning to figure out what is going to be best for your animal, fits your needs, and prioritizes saftey. Please feel free to reach out with questions! I have several animals of my own, and they make up one of my biggest hobbies. I work a full time job in (human) healthcare, but if the hours that you need pet care are between 11:00-1400, I can accommodate just about every day of the week. I do not offer pet sitting in my own house. Nor do I offer pet sitting for an extended duration in your house. I have several animals of my own; dogs, cats, chickens, fish, lizard. They comprise some of my favorite hobbies and they are an important part of my life. If you need drop in care for animals, dog walking, or bathing, I would treat them just as I would treat my animals at home. If there are special comments or concerns regarding your specific animals needs, there’s a good chance that I can accommodate that.

About: Hello! I grew up with chickens, ducks, and pigeons (along with my siblings!). I currently have 3 cats and they are my favorite part of every day. I absolutely adore cats and firmly believe in full bellies and clean litter boxes! I have raised two kittens, adopted an adult feral cat, have experience with hyperthyroid cats/medicating them 2x daily. I have also had a dog from puppy to adulthood. I love hiking with dogs, enjoy walking dogs around the neighborhood, playing fetch, and taking them swimming. And yes, I will absolutely take your dog for a 1-8 mile hike or walk if that's something you're interested in! I promise to take great care of your pets and send daily photos (you can opt out of photos). Thanks! My day-to-day varies. I am generally available in the mornings before 8am and in the evenings after 3-5pm on weekdays. Weekends are available and will absolutely work with advanced notice! I enjoy walking dogs and making sure they get quality exercise and attention. I took my dog on frequent walks, hiking, swimming, and to the park. I am a huge fan of hiking with dogs! I also love cats and frequently do drop-ins. Depending on the cat I sometimes bring a book and cuddle. I will give your cat(s) as much or as little attention as they seek. Just let me know what you're looking for and I'll try my best to help you and your family.

“Kortni and Mooshka really hit it off! Kortni took Mooshka for a couple of great walks during our stay at the Kalama Lodge. It couldn’t have been more convenient for us as Kortni was able to meet us in the lobby and take Mooshka from there. Kortni was quick to respond to all texts and I could tell she just loved hanging out with Mooshka. Would highly recommend!!”

About: I have taken my door through professional training, I have helped others train their dogs and how to handle them. I am often referred to as the dog or animal whisperer they have always come easily to me and been comfortable. Even the dogs that hate everyone, usually do fine with me. I work in Real Estate, but most of my time is spent at home. I work part-time at a coffee shop, but that is in the early morning a few days a week. I want to enrich my pups life by having other dogs around more often. I care for other's pets as I do my own. I give them attention, play with toys they like, feed them high quality food and treats(if allowed). I don't let them chew unattended, or play rough. I let them roam freely in my home except upstairs where the cats have their own space. I won't use a crate, unless a dog is used to that and an owner wants me to.

“Annalyssa is amazing! She is so flexible and has been a great reliable dog walker for my pup when I’m at work.”

About: I have been dog sitting since I was 12, with even more care for other pets at home. I have had a pet of some sort all my life, ranging from reptiles to dogs to cats. I am currently working at a Day Care Full Time Mon-Fri and am always looking for a refreshing furry friend to play with after the day is done. I am comfortable with any size dog and have even worked with dogs who have anxiety about being with someone other than their owners. I personally have 4 cats that I take care of with my roommate.

About: I have taken care of many types of dogs from German Shepherds, huskies, doodles and more. I am good with dogs and am strong enough to walk any kind of dog. Very reliable and have pet sat for many of my neighbors over the years. I am currently a high school student who does online college and plays soccer. I can usually check in on pets normally throughout the day and have a flexible schedule for the most part. I am patient with dogs and can usually bond with them and create a comfortable and safe environment. I love to play with dogs and help them get exercise. I am very experienced with many types of dogs and take care of my own dogs. I am also familiar with more complicated diets.

About: I’ve owned animals of all varieties all my life, I recently had to say goodbye to my 6 year old boxer, I have two cats, and am looking to give the love and attention I had for my dog to others. Hikes, walks, playtime, etc. I currently work a flexible, remote job so I have time to take a break during the day or evening and play with your cat or pup! I have a fenced yard and I work from home, or I can work remotely so I can be with your pet when it’s needed.

About: I have a strong passion for taking care of animals, in the future I am wanting to become a Veterinary Technician. Last year I volunteered at my local humane society! I was a dog handler and I enjoyed every second of it. I'm currently employed and am looking to put my passion for animals to good use outside of work. I do work 7am-3pm Monday-Friday but I still have plenty of time for your furry friends after I get off or on weekends. In my experience, I think it's important to treat every animal like its your own. It is very important to make sure your pet feels comfortable and properly taken care of. I want to ensure this by maintaining their usual routine and providing plenty of play time and attention. I will make sure to be very attentive to their needs and provide them with the highest level of care!
