Dog Walking Latah Valley

About: Hi! I’m a dependable animal lover who understands that every pet has their own unique personality and comfort level. Whether your pet is energetic and ready for an adventure or prefers a slower, quieter approach, I’ll meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’ve loved dogs my entire life, growing up in a family with dogs and spending about a year volunteering at my local humane society walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Today, I also share my home with two cats, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understand their different needs and behaviors. Building trust is one of the most important parts of pet care. I know that not every animal is immediately comfortable with someone new, and I’m happy to let them set the pace. I never force interactions or push boundaries. Instead, I focus on creating positive experiences so your pet feels secure while you’re away. Safety is always my top priority. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed at all times and stay alert to our surroundings to help ensure every outing is safe and enjoyable. I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention I’d want for my own animals. Whether you need a midday walk, a potty break, playtime, fresh food and water, medication reminders (if applicable), or just someone to spend quality time with your pet while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work full time from home, but my job allows for a lot of flexibility during the day, evenings and weekends. My only immovable commitment right now is coaching softball Monday and Wednesday evenings over the summer, and the occasional work meeting that I will plan around ☺️ Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being will always come first. I strive to create a calm, low-stress environment where pets feel secure and respected. I believe trust is earned through patience, consistency, and kindness, so I always let animals set the pace and never force interactions. Whether we’re out on a walk or spending time together during a visit, you can count on me to provide attentive, safety-focused care while treating your pet like one of my own.

About: I’ve pet sat for five animals at once, including both dogs and cats! I have experience with animals ranging from puppy to senior! I’ve owned dogs of all different sizes including wiener dogs and newfoundlands! I also have two cats! I’m super flexible and a quick learner who can easily adapt to the needs of your pets! I’m currently working a separate job and volunteering twice a week but both are part time so I have plenty of extra time to spend with animals and have a very flexible schedule! I consider myself to be very likable to animals and have a positive demeanor which animals tend find comforting! I have experience walking both big and small dogs and caring for cats as well! I also have experience housesitting and am happy to water your plants and bring in your mail!

“Great dog walkers. Give detailed information from the walk. Easy to work with. Very nice people.”

“Friendly, professional, communicative, and prompt! My pup was happy and I enjoyed the report cards. Will definitely be booking with Julia next time I work late”

“Brittany walked our two energetic and reactive dogs for one hour walks over a two week period. We were out of town and my parents had easy communication with her. My dogs got their exercise and were happy and content pups! I would recommend Brittany and book through her again.”

About: I had a Pharaoh hound growing up for 15 years and lost her to cancer 4 years ago. I love going on walks, and I'm looking for some new companions to join me! I just got my bachelors degree in Zoology, and I've always been passionate about working with animals throughout my life. I also have 7 years of experience as a house and pet sitter and about 100 hours of volunteer work at the Spokanimals shelter. My schedule is wide open for the summer while I'm in town! Just reach out and let me know, any day, any time, and I will be there! I will respect the rules you have in place for your pet at your home and at mine. I will take the pups on walks at least once a day and let them go outside to potty every hour or as needed. I am happy to brush hair if you supply the tools. I promise to keep your puppy happy to the best of my abilities!

“Jacob is awesome with my two dogs! My shy dog warmed up to him quickly and they look forward to walking with him. Highly recommend Jacob to take care of your pets.”

“Audrey did a great job with Tommy, even after he decided not to eat during her first day with him. (It’s not unusual behavior on his part.) She did a great job in keeping us informed and working through food options, one of which eventually worked. She was calm under pressure.”

About: I’m patient, caring, dependable, reliable and take my dog out on walks every day. I work from home so I will be with your beloved pet at all times. I work from home and have one dog who I walk daily. Most of my time is spent with my dog and if your dog stays with us, they will be with us all day. I do live in an apartment, however, I am active and attentive so I can provide a lot of activity outdoors or spend time with your dog indoors if that’s what they prefer.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and provide overnight care of their pets for years. Now that I’ve moved to Spokane I have lots of free time to offer to new furry friends. Currently taking a break from working in schools this year to focus more time on my family. Outside of school pickups and sports we have a very open schedule. All animals deserve mental and physical stimulation. From walks, to playing with their favorite toys, to snuggling on the floor/couch your pet will be well loved in my care.

About: Grew up with big dogs and 5 cats! Been the petsitter for my family and friends for years. I've looked after a litter of newborn mini Aussie puppies and have kept up dog training & routines while my sisters were traveling. From very energetic dogs to high-needs senior dogs--I've taken care of them all! I have no allergies, and mess doesn't bother me one bit. I normally teach English Composition at the local university, but I've got nothing to teach this summer! I'm writing a novel and would LOVE a reason to step away from the keyboard--dog walking, house sitting, playing. I'm very flexible. I am a very polite guest and follow written instructions to the letter. If I am housesitting, my goal is to always leave homes as I found them. Dishes done, trash taken out, floors swept, and plants watered!

“Melisa was kind and professional! My dog is often timid and had refused to go out for a walk when I am gone before but Melissa handled it like a champ, was patient and kind, and was able to coax him out of the house. Thank you Melissa!”

“Monique is great! The dogs love her. She's always prompt, courteous and accommodating. Will definitely book with her again should the need arise!”

“Tek came back from her walk with Nadia and it was clear I’ve been downgraded to her second favorite person 😒 (Joke…sorta. But Nadia is great. 10/10)”

Boone S.

“Karli has been great! She has been very flexible with scheduling and my dog Stella just loves her. I have a large breed senior dog and she is very understanding and takes special care on walks. I will also be using her to house sit for my dog in the future as well!”

Scott T.

“Sooo… First of all, I want to thank Sierra and Sheldon for taking great care of walking my dog while I was on vacation. To have the right person around your dog is like to have the right caregiver for your child. Don't underestimate their influence and power. I am very happy with the choice I've made picking the right people! Thank you, you guys! Will rebook with you again in the future!”

Lana R.

“Ryan is incredibly intentional and can read dogs very well. He is patient and sweet with our pups -- one of which has loads of anxiety. He is reassuring (with me and the dogs) and takes great care of the pups. Your animals are safe and well cared for with him.”

Tiffany E.

“Lauren has walked my dog for 2 recurring periods now, and she has been amazing. My dog loves going on walks with her and she takes such good care of him and is super responsive and sends plenty of updates from the walk.”

About: I am a retired elementary school teacher and I have owned multiple pets for the past 30 years including dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I have also done paid pet sitting and housesitting during my college years. I have a great love for all animals and am experienced in caring for puppies, elderly dogs and every age in between. I would love to take care of your furry friend! I will treat your dog as I would my own. I would love the opportunity to provide a safe and caring environment for your dog and give you peace of mind while you are away. I currently work very part time at home on a flexible schedule so I would have plenty of time to either drop in on or walk your dog(s). I would be very diligent about following your directions when I care for your dog(s) in your home. I would take your dog(s) for walks, play their favorite games and give them an abundance of pets and love.
