Dog Walking Lyons

About: As a young kid, my family bred Saint Bernards. By all means, I am from a "dog family." I grew up walking, feeding, cleaning stalls, etc. dogs much larger than me. Eventually and gradually we would adopt several mixed-breed dogs and other strays who we loved just as much as our Saints. On top of this, however, I was also proud to be responsible for a beautiful, sassy cat, from a younger kitty to her golden years. Moreover, some friends and I spent time trapping feral cats in West Central Spokane, specifically around where we lived and worked, then taking them to PetSavers for spay/neutering, and working to rehome them. I enjoy "working" with all kinds of dogs and cats. This includes seniors, those with health conditions, or those who simply benefit from extra patience and extra attention. You may already see me walking dogs in Cheney and Airway Heights. I would be glad to get to know your pet family and learn what everyone likes best and wants most. I currently work as a "hand" maintaining a lower-maintenance property in the greater Spokane County. This arrangement is semi-formal and provides ample flexibility in my schedule to meet the needs of your pet family. Each home and family is different, and expresses their love for the pet family in different ways. I am glad to meet your pet family where you are all at, and give us an opportunity to get to know each other. I talk low and slow by default, but can easily match the energy of your pet family. Dogs will enjoy their walks and time together and return a happy camper :-) Cats will have a dedicated eye on them and if your cat is a playful or affectionate type, their need to socialize will be met. I can usually coax most shy cats into some socializing or play time, and cats who are "protective" of one thing or another, and maybe not as friendly, still will also get ample care and attention.

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

About: Ive always had pets growing up. Cats for the majority but I have babysat families with fish, cats, dogs, and farm animals. I enjoy being outside so it was always a joy. I am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to watch any furry friends. I am available all days of the week besides Sundays I have a partially fenced yard and have 2 indoor cats. They go outside occasionally and avoid confrontation but are otherwise extremely nice and friendly. I always give my cats food and water on a schedule and am sure to include their wet foods for their health. I do have a baby, soon to be toddler, who loves our cats and just enjoys being in their presence

About: I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and adapt to each pet’s unique needs, whether that means long walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important your pet is to you, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep you connected and reassured, just like I would want for my own pets. I’m available weekdays and can accommodate weekends as needed. I provide reliable, consistent care for feeding, playtime, or companionship, keeping your pet’s routine stress-free. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your baby is happy and well cared for! I will treat your home and pets with the same care and respect as my own, ensuring everything is cared for and returned exactly as you left it.

About: I grew up taking care of a cat, and I fostered kittens multiple times, so I have more cat experience, but I love dogs too! I have experience dog-walking and dog-sitting for friends and family. I also worked in a biology lab caring for rats and fish, so I have a wide range of experience with animals! I work part-time, so I’m available Mondays after 5:30pm, Tuesdays and Wednesdays anytime, Thursdays before 3:00pm, Fridays and Saturdays before 12:30pm or after 6:30pm, and Sundays after 5pm. I have plenty of room in my home for your pet, and if your pet needs any special accommodations, just ask and I will almost always be happy to help! We have a mostly fenced in backyard, but we are currently working on fixing the gate. I have a toddler at home, so pets who are okay with kids are preferred, but if not, I can also find childcare. My toddler is gentle with animals. We have no pets of our own in our home. At your home, I will follow any instructions and accommodations you may require. I have a good work ethic and am very detail-oriented.

About: I’ve taken care of a handful of animals and truly, animals are so drawn to me. I love animals, they are so pure to me! I have a schedule just as much as everyone does, I fit babies into my schedule to ensure they are being well taken care of, etc. I have a perch for my cat and make sure she is being taken care of, I give her lots of love and I love other animals just as much as I love my own.

About: Hello! :) I work from home full time (M-F) and therefore am available for frequent potty breaks and play time. Growing up I often cared for my neighbor's dogs while they were on vacation and I even had my own: he was a German Shepard/Golden Retriever mix. I also currently have a small dog of my own, a Chiweenie named Willie, who I absolutely adore! I have been a Rover sitter for several years and have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes and love them all!! Thanks for your consideration!! On the weekends I enjoy hiking and spending time outside and would love to bring your fur pup along! Throughout your pup’s stay, they will not be left alone for more than a few hours maximum. I have a new house with a very large hallway— perfect for the zoomies and fetch! :) Currently I have a 4ft tall temporary fence in my backyard but will be having a fence installed soon.

“Alexys is great, I reached out to her and on a short notice, she was able to help and walk my dog! She is very sweet and caring, my dog loved her and trusted her immediately. I ll definitely ask her again to take care of Sansa!”

“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've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. My friends and family have relied on me to look after their pets when things come up or they go on trips and appreciate my care. I'm currently working full time but i often have time in the afternoons or early mornings to check up on pets when im house sitting. When boarding i can have my mom who lives with me take your dog out to go potty pretty often so it shouldnt be an issue. I care for my clients pets by making sure they are well fed, providing daily exercise and enrichment activities to make sure they are happy and healthy

“We could not have been happier with Eloise. Chase just loves her, and he is a Belgian Malinois who chooses his people carefully. He went to her right away which put us at ease. She told us all about the walk, how he did, and tips for our next walk. We are so grateful to have found Eloise. We will use her for dog sitting when we are in town again. This lady is so sweet with animals, she will treat your pet like her own.”

About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for the pets of my family, friends, and neighbors. As a pet sitter, I enjoy providing customized care for animals of all personalities and energy levels, taking energetic pets for walks and snuggling with sleepier fur babies on the couch.

“Autumn clearly loves dogs and loves her job. Our rescue dog can be skiddish on walks and Autumn knew how to make her feel comfortable. She came rain or shine on time. She even washed our dog off with the hose after an especially muddy walk. Honestly, she's the best!”

About: Hi there! I have experience with all size and breeds/mix of dogs as well as special needs and medical dogs. I foster and volunteer with a non-profit animal rescued based in Los Angeles. Through my foster and volunteering experiences, I have learned important handling skills for all types of dogs and I have gained a deep understanding on proper introductions and how to handle different situations with each dog. I offer dog-walking services and/or pet-sitting because I love interacting with dogs and ensuring that they meet their exercise and play-time needs. I am very diligent, respectful, and I love sharing a connection with each dog I meet because their trust and comfortability matters to me. I am very mindful of surroundings and adhering to the dog's needs and level of comfort.

“Sarah and Blake are great. My 2 huskies loved them. They came on time and they were very nice.”

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 but it is 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 find comforting! I have experience walking both big and small dogs and caring for cats as well!

About: My entire life has been filled with animals (dogs, cats, fish, even turtles). I current work with a local animal shelter as a foster and have worked with everything from puppies and newborn kittens to senior cats and overweight labs. Training, treats and fun make the world go 'round. My current job allows me to work part time. I have my own animals who are low maintenance but I can handle just about any job from morning to night. Thursday through Sunday is the best time for availability. My days are open to throw the ball for your dog, play tug-a-war, or give your cat a warm place to sit. Professionalism in my clients home is my upmost priority. I ensure that every job is taken very seriously, even though fun with your furry friends is always on the schedule. Let me know every detail of your pets schedule and needs and I will follow it to a tee. I understand that routines are important and they help keep everybody on track for success.

About: I have had two dogs almost my whole life. I have pet sat for friends and family, and can provide senior care as well as puppy care! My schedule is very flexible and I am open all summer long! I care for my dogs everyday and love to take them to the park and on long walks! I love to go on walks and to the park to keep active and prefer a pup to come along with me to keep me company!

About: I have owned many pets throughout my childhood. To say what kind of experience I have would take more than 125 words because each pet has their own personality and style and I adapt to exactly what your pets need and want. If they want cuddles, they get cuddles. If they want space, they get space. I’m home almost all day so they will get all the attention they ever want(or the space they need). I aim to make them happy! Non smoke home with a big spacious living room to play or rest in. I’ve been dog walking/pet sitting since I was a teen and miss doing that. I love hiking and anything outdoorsy so I’m always up for being outside as well. If you have any questions please reach out! I’m a stay at home mom so I’ll be able to easily take your pup out on walks and quick potty breaks. We don’t have a fenced yard but have a shared yard out in the back as well as a park nearby. I walk them right before I would leave to run any errands and usually don’t take long. I follow the instructions provided so that its not stressful for the pup as well as the pet owner. I send updates on how the pup is doing and what we’re up to. We go out on walks a lot. If it’s okay with the owner than I take the pup out on a shorter hike with my daughter. I make sure to grab water too! At home we see what kind of personality the pup has because some aren’t as active and would rather cuddle while others like to play play play.
