Pet Sitting Kalama

About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats ever since I was very little and I have always loved taking care of them. I live at home with my parents and I have lots of experience watching our two dogs and cat for weeks at a time while they are traveling. (Note: neither my parents, or pets will be anywhere near your pets, as they are going to be in a separate part of the house. The house also has a huge backyard, sitting on over an acre with tall fences. I also keep plenty of toys on hand so you can be sure your pets are getting the love and care they deserve. I currently work from home and have a very flexible. schedule all throughout the weekdays and weekends so your pets will be cared for during their entire stay. I also do not leave our own pets unattended for more than a couple hours so the same can be expected for yours as well. Pets can expect over an acre of enclosed backyard, so plenty of room to run around and play as needed. Bathroom breaks will be given at least once every 1.5 hours - 2 hours and will be supervised the entire time as is standard with our own pups. We also have a cat and two small dogs in the house, but they will be upstairs and away from your pets during the visit.

About: Gentle loving care for all creatures, great... and not so great. Sometimes we just need a little extra kindness to blossom. I have been taking care of cats and dogs since I was 10 years old and every encounter has been an opportunity to make a new friend. Everyone thinks they have the best pet and everyone is right. I am currently working part time with flexible hours. I walk every day and love to have canine company. Spending time with animals brings me just as much joy as it provides for them. Getting through the day is stressful enough. Worrying about your pet while you are away should not be. I recognize that pet personalities are all unique. I will work with you to develop an individualized care plan for your pet’s needs.

“Veronica is very communicative and clearly loves taking care of the animals she's watching. We were very happy to find someone not only great with out kitties, but also knowlegeable about aquariums.”

About: I have had pets my entire life from basenjis to a Great Pyrenees malamute, and two large tabby cats. Ive also had puppies as young as a day old and a dog as old as 14. I am a full time college student and I work part time so weekends are best during school but on breaks I have lots of availability. I have many animals of my own so I prefer to pet sit at your own house. I have five pets at home 2 cats and three dogs.

“Mikki has been caring for our golden for the past 10 months when she was just 8wks old. I schedule her to come twice a day and she has always been on time, consistent, and reliable. She always provides pictures and information about the drop in visits. If you’re deciding on who to go with give Mikki a try! She’s been great!”

About: Hi, I’m Kelley! I’m a professional dog trainer with over 10 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. My journey started early. I began working at a veterinary office at just 15 years old as a kennel technician and assistant, where I built a strong foundation in animal care and behavior. From there, I expanded into training and spent 5 years in Hawaii working as a private contracted dog trainer, gaining extensive experience with a wide range of dogs and client needs. I mainly train basic to advanced obedience and service dog training but also have experience with training hunting/bird dogs and protection work. In 2020, I founded my own dog training business in Oregon, where I now provide customized, results-driven training programs. I work with dogs weekly through private sessions, as well as structured board-and-train programs. I also travel locally and to surrounding areas to support clients and ensure training carries over into real-life environments. I recently moved up to the WA side in Kalama. My property is fully set up with dogs in mind. I have a secure, fully fenced yard and dedicated training areas equipped with a wide variety of professional training tools. Dogs in my care receive structured training, enrichment, and appropriate socialization based on their individual temperament, goals, and needs. Whether your dog needs basic obedience, behavior modification, or a safe and structured place to stay while you’re away, I provide a reliable, experienced, and attentive approach to their care. I treat every dog like my own, focusing on building confidence, clear communication, and lasting results. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine since I run my dog training business full-time. My days are structured around the dogs in my care, including scheduled training sessions, exercise, enrichment, and rest time. Each dog follows a consistent routine that’s tailored to their individual needs-this can include structured walks, obedience training, socialization (when appropriate), and downtime to ensure they’re not overstimulated. Because I work from home and on my property, I’m able to provide constant supervision and hands-on care throughout the day. On a weekly basis, I rotate between private training sessions, board-and-train dogs, and client visits, so I’m always actively working with dogs in a structured and intentional way. This setup allows me to give each dog consistent attention, routine, and progress while they’re in my care. Care varies depending on the service, but all pets receive structured, attentive, and individualized care. In my home, dogs follow a consistent daily routine that includes exercise, training, enrichment, and rest. Because of my background as a professional trainer, I incorporate structure and clear communication into everything I do—whether that’s reinforcing good manners, working on specific training goals, or simply maintaining a calm, balanced environment. Dogs have access to a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and are always supervised. Socialization is thoughtfully managed based on each dog’s temperament and comfort level. For board-and-train dogs, their stay includes daily hands-on training sessions tailored to their specific goals, along with structured routines that help build reliability and confidence. In clients’ homes, I aim to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible to reduce stress. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications if needed, and any household rules the dog is used to. I also reinforce any training the owner is working on to maintain consistency. Across all services, my priority is safety, clear communication, and making sure each dog feels secure, understood, and well cared for.

“Kris was very communicative and flexible. I very much appreciate his willingness to come out to our small town to take care of our cats in the unpredictable winter!”

“Hannah was great! I booked her at the last minute when my other sitter got ill. She came on time and was flexible when my event ran a little late. She was extremely responsible and seemed quite detail oriented. She and Pancake got along great and she engaged in Pancake’s favorite activity—chasing the ball! Would definitely book her again!”

About: My saying is always “your pets are my pets” because I do truly believe all critters deserve the same amount of love, respect and compassion I grew up on a horse boarding ranch so I’ve taken care of ALL types of animals throughout my life.(: I work 4 1/2 days a week and would love to spend my days off helping others by taking care of their pets while they are away. I have a fully fenced yard and live a very active lifestyle so if your pet needs extra exercise, I would love to take them for walks, runs, hikes or just playing fetch in the backyard!

About: I have been around all types of breeds, sizes, and temperament all my life. I have a special place in my heart for big dogs! I have trained dogs with basic commands, walked, fed, bathed, and e-collar trained with many pets including my own. I house sit often for family friends, including their furry friends. I am currently in-between jobs and am looking to earn money doing something I love! I have my own car, and as I search for a new position lots of free time to care for pets or your home. I have had multiple family dogs, and cats throughout my life and they truly make my life full! I also treat my own and other pets and space with respect and love. I understand every pet has different needs and am always willing to understand to provide the best care possible!

“Bree was very calm and kind with my skittish and frightened dog, Levi. As a pet parent, I really hate to leave my dogs behind, but Bree had me covered. Levi was asking for attention and getting loves this morning!”

About: I have 3 dogs ranging from 1-10 1/2 years of age. We have done the puppy stage three times so I’m used to that and willing to help. I know how stressful it can be if you need to go out of town and still have a puppy at home that needs a little more attention, let me help you with this! I’m not afraid of any dogs I just need to meet them first before agreeing to a job just so that we know it’ll be a good fit. I’m currently working full time 12 hr days. So I will not schedule myself when I’m working unless of course this works for you. I’m just looking to see if I can help some people while they travel or need someone to come and check on their pets while they are away. I currently live on 2.5 acres so having dogs come to my house will not be a good fit. We have 3 dogs and sometimes sit for family and friends and their dogs come over and we closely watch them while outside so they don’t venture off into the woods. Right now I’m just looking to see if I can help with checking in on pets or walking them or even possibly house sitting if need be. I know how important routine and familiarity is important so I would like to meet the pets with the owners before agreeing to a job and this way we can make sure the pets are comfortable with me and also we can go over dos and don’ts with your pets.

About: I’ve taken care of dog’s, horses, cats, chinchilla’s, for many years! Friends, family, and neighbors have all relied on me to walk, feed, play, and bathe their animals!! I’m currently working 4 days a week I work during the night so I have plenty of time to time play with you’re pup or kitten! I keep the pets in their home other than walks so they stay comfortable and don’t get anxious being away from their area maintaining their cleanliness and comfortability is my priority!

“Gloria is reliable and my pet loved her! A great person to trust with your pet while away”

Crystal B.

“Kate was prompt & friendly for our first play date. Our puppies warmed up to her quickly.”

About: I love animals and spoil them as much as possible! I have skills with puppies, senior dogs and animals that need special care like medications. I work from home full-time, and I would love to have an animal to care for and love on. I recently lost my senior dog, and I am really missing having an animal around. Please let me hang out with your dog and give them lots of love! I currently live alone in a pet free house. Your pet will be welcome and allowed on furniture. Lots of walks and lots of love.

“Pups love when Bailey visit! She takes time with both pups and gives great updates! Definitely will book again.”
