“Velma is a loving dog walker. She is very reliable, always shows up on time and always kept me informed as to whether my dog had pooped during his twice daily walks which I very much appreciated. My dog got excited and always looked forward to his walks with Velma. We will both miss her. I can't recommend her enough.”

About: I thought I was a cat person until my family insisted on getting a dog when I was 12 years old and my life changed forever. Puddin’ rocked my world and showed me all the joys of having a dog. I helped care for her until I left for college. Then halfway through college my roommate found a little dog wandering the streets, and long story short, I ended up keeping him. Gus was my little cuddle bug and he was my constant companion until he passed away a few months ago. Both Puddin’ and Gus lived past 10 years old so I have experience caring for senior dogs who might require oral medications or extra bathroom breaks. We got Puddin’ as a puppy, and while I wasn’t her primary caregiver, I do understand the extra attention puppies need. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have dog sat for family and friends before. I have also volunteered as a dog walker at the Spokane Humane Society for 50+ hours so I have experience walking dogs with a variety of temperaments. It isn’t the right time in my life to get another dog, but I love having dogs in my life and I promise to treat your fur babies with the love and attention that I would give my own dogs! I do have a couple part time jobs, but I will make sure my availability calendar is regularly updated so you know that your dog will have my full attention when I'm with them. When pet sitting, I will try and stick to your pets normal schedule so they are more comfortable. Here is my general availability: Sunday - anytime after 2pm Monday - anytime after 2pm Tuesday - anytime after 5pm Wednesday - anytime after 2pm Thursday - anytime after 5pm Friday - anytime after 2pm Saturday anytime after 2pm I may have some flexibility so feel free to shoot me a message and ask! I understand how vulnerable it is to have a stranger in your home, but I promise to treat it with the utmost respect. I will do everything in my power to make sure you return to your home in the same condition that you left it.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats, including my own, for as long as I can remember. I have trained my pets as well as other's in basic obedience. I like to study dog psychology and I have a bachelor's degree in psychology. I've taken care of all kinds of dogs from tiny-huge and fearful-calm temperaments. My favorite breeds to care for are large breeds, most specifically breeds like pitties, rotties, and dobermans, but I love all dog breeds too and love how every dog has their own unique personality. I've also cared for cats doing volunteer work and have 2 of my own. I'm currently available anytime of the week all year besides the few times per year that I travel. I am working to potentially have a career with dogs. For care in the client's home, I will do whatever is instructed to me to be done for the pet. I am good at reading dog body language and understanding their needs. I've cared for fearful/avoidant dogs and hyper/clingy dogs alike. I am not able to provide care in my own home since I live with family and own 2 rescue cats.

About: Not sure why my profile says that dogs must be spayed/neutered, I honestly don’t have a preference. I have consistently had pets since I was 6. Cats, dogs, fish, birds, hamsters, and turtles. I have also taken care of friends’ pets on a few occasions. Animals warm up to me quickly and seem to be drawn to me. I also tend to leave homes a little bit cleaner than I found them and I have been told that I am the best overnight guest ever, by my mom. 😁 My schedule is very open as I work from home and my work travels easily. I am available for short or long term pet and home sitting in your home. I prefer to meet you and your pet(s) at your home before I commit to staying. I would like to be sure that there is a connection between you and me and between your pet(s) and me. I have been called a ”dog whisperer” and parents have been surprised at the instant connection that I make with their pets. ☺️ I have also done a lot of gigs with the TrustedHousesitters app too.

About: I have had pets as long as I've been alive, I have a dog and two cats now, and live with several more dogs and cats. I was involved in 4-H and Junior AKC obedience and showmanship at a high level, I only practice positive reinforcement and gentle corrections. I will care for your pets as though they were my own. I'm currently working a flexible part-time job and individual gig jobs, so my availability is extremely flexible and open. Daily walks and treats for my dog, chew toys, playtime and fetch are all daily favorites. I clean litter at least once a day, more if needed or requested. The cats get playtime (one of my boys likes to fetch his toy mice), treats, and lots of catnip/silvervine. Happy to do multiple check-ins or stay for longer periods (except when I need to go home to check my own pets). Love taking dog walks and fetch, or playing with cats, your pets will not be bored if I have anything to say about it

About: I have cared for a myriad of animals, both personal and family and friends pets, since I was 7 (including hamsters, rabbits, dogs, cats, fish, and everything in between) I am a previous dog trainer turned SAHM who is looking to use my love of animals and skills to help some busy pet families while keeping up with todays ever rising cost of living. I have two medium energy, big, dogs personally, but have been around and cared for every size and energy level. I am now a fully stay at home momma so I’m flexible depending on what you are looking for for your furry friend. Any day or time (within reason). I’m home a majority of the time with the occasional errand or other outing so pets get to hang out with me and my family a majority of their time in my care. A majority of the time your pup will have full access to our fenced property and our house with us just like our personal pups do. There are occasions when they may be kenneled or separated when I care for our rabbitry or put my toddler to bed, etc. I will keep my pups and your pups separate upon request as a safety measure where animals can be seemingly unpredictable. If you are comfortable and would like them to have buddies to play with and a pack to enjoy then my two dogs are happy to oblige. My personal dogs are crated at night and works best to keep dogs overnight only if they are crate trained as well or at the least can be okay with sleeping on their own. We have a baby boy who loves animals but is also learning to be very respectful of them so pups that are comfortable around kiddos is a must.

About: I worked in dog grooming for a decade, and I do miss the dogs, often. I will be happy to help regardless of breed or size. I have open availability in my schedule. I work with many different service partners, and can easily adjust my schedule, with proper notice, of course. Dogs will be played with, of course! I will run them, depending on age and whether they like that. Feed them, walk them. Cats will get nozzles and pets

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I’ve owned and cared for almost all types from cats and dogs to lizards and fish. I have 4 years experience as a vet assistant, over 1 year as a dog trainer and 4years experience working in a pet store. I have experience with all personality types and I love them all. I work as as a Paraeducator and have two kids. During the summer months and school breaks my availability is fairly open. During the school year I am available after work and most weekends. I can care for any pet in the comfort of their own home. I have experience with all personality types and medical needs. I can aid in giving medications or medical needs as I was a vet assistant for 4 years. I have experience as a bather and a dog trainer and can aid with that. I love to play, cuddle or just be with the pet whatever they are comfortable with.

About: I am Suzy I grew up on a farm in a small town. I just retired from being a private hospice caregiver. I have experience with dogs, cats, cows, pigs, goats and horses. I have had my own dogs and cats and started helping more with pet sitting and dog walking for friends and family. I have an alternative medicine degree and it has helped me not only in my personal life but also with my animals lives. I am good with dogs and cats that have high energy and separation anxiety. I am retired and this is the perfect opportunity to change careers and enjoy getting to know pets and help their owners out. I have open availability. Cuddles with cats and dogs brings me happiness. I am not in a position to have pets at my home. However in your home I am there to help your animal not feel alone by giving them the attention they need or what you have requested.

About: I have loved animals my whole life and have had a dog in my home for as long as I remember. I have some basic vet assistant training so I know how to assess emergent situations. I prefer cat care to be honest and have never met a cat I didn’t love. I have a miniature zoo in my house so I am constantly taking care of animals in my home from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed. In my home I utilize gates, crates and doors inside my home to keep everyone in a safe environment as well as following leash laws outside of the home. At a clients home, I would follow all care instructions to ensure the animals safety.

“Did an incredible job making sure Theo was behaving and heeling on the walk.”

About: From creating a PowerPoint in 2nd grade to convince my parents that I am responsible enough to take care of my own hamster (it worked and my dad works in sales), to asking every stranger if I can pet their dog, I have always loved animals. I’ve been lucky enough to not live without a pet in my life so I am more than prepared to take care of yours. Everyone’s favorite family member deserves the best! Hi! I am a freshly graduated college student who is back home, on the path to law school. I decided to not work a traditional job this summer in order to take a break before law school and enjoy my last true summer. Due to being a college student who has moved around many times, I’m unable to own my own furry friends which is why I’m desperate to hang with yours 😊 I’m available any time and any day! I am a Type A, perfectionist who loves to clean and pay attention to details. Cleaning and being attentive is my thing! I ensure that your pet is cared for and loved in the same degree you do. Think of me as your pets personal assistant!

About: I have loved dogs of all sizes my entire life but usually I say the bigger the dog the better! I have worked in a wide variety of animal care facilities including a doggy daycare, animal shelter and most recently a vet clinic working as a vet assistant. The older animals and the ones that may have some extra special needs have a special place in my heart! I am currently working full time but I usually have three days off a week and am available on Sundays and varying days during the week. I am also available in the afternoons. My family currently has three dogs at home one nine year old senior dog and two other dogs under the age of 3. All are larger more energetic dogs.

About: Dogs are more important to me than any human ever could be. My mom had to order books specifically about dogs for me to pass elementary school. I understand all dogs have their own unique personality just like humans would. I am the go to person to babysit or walk my friends, family and neighbors dogs. I will be moving over to Spokane Valley in May and I work from home Monday through Friday and have the ability to go on walks during the day. I have a fenced yard with 2 dog friendly dogs that will love to keep your baby comfortable. We have a dog door to allow your dog to pee as needed between walks.

“Addison was amazing with my dog! Sol is a high-energy rescue who is still learning manners, but that didn’t phase Addison. (Disclosure: I am a Rover employee)”

“I hired Kathlyn to walk my dog because I have been ill and unable to do that myself. She was just GREAT with Allie. She is a very experienced trainer and Allie took to Kathlyn immediately as did I. She is a very friendly person and made me feel at ease about letting my dog go for a walk with someone I didn't know. And with all of her experience, I knew she would be able to handle any situation that might arise. If and when I ever need help again, Kathlyn will be my first choice and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a dog walker.”

About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and absolutely love spending time with them. I’m an owner of two amazing Aussies, who are about three and a half years old, and I also have two sweet cats at home.

I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic puppies to calm seniors. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a play session, or a refreshing walk, I’ll make sure your pup gets the attention they deserve. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means I’m often available for midday walks or last-minute drop-in visits. While I no longer offer boarding, I’m fully dedicated to providing reliable and caring walking and drop-in services to keep your pets safe, entertained, and well-exercised. If your dog has specific needs, such as preferred walking routes, exercise requirements, or dietary concerns, please let me know! I’m here to ensure every visit is tailored to your pup’s unique personality and needs. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide walks and drop-in visits throughout the day.

About: I have been a housesitter and petsitter for years. I really enjoy getting to have new pet friends! I have taken care of all sorts of animals--dogs, cats, birds, lizards, hamsters, bunnies, horses, pigs, goats, chickens and even cows! I feel comfortable with pets who have medical issues, as well. I also have done a fair amount of pet massages for dogs and cats (not lizards, though!!) I have an online business, so I usually housesit and work part-time online. This makes it very easy for me to be in a home with pets who need more attention, or dogs that need walked often. I have done all levels of pet care-from simple one hour drop-in visits for cats to feeding and cleaning up for horses and cows (extra fee for that!!) So, I am very versatile with my clients! I also find that I bond easily with pets, and can often connect to shy or nervous cats and dogs by being present, calm and talking to them. I also know to leave someone alone when they just don't want to connect. I usually do lots of walks and playing together as well as simply sitting and petting and offering yummy treats!

About: I have a Great Pyrenees lab mix who is very friendly and loves every dog he meets. I have experience walking and caring for large and small dogs. I have cared for many of my neighbors and friends dogs and they have always said I am reliable and make the best pet sitter! I have experience with young dogs and can assist with continuing ongoing training. I am available in my free time to assist with dog boarding, dog day care or dog walking. Let me know your needs and will see if I can accommodate. I would care for your dog as if it were my own. I am attentive to your dogs needs and can provide a safe loving environment for your dog.
