Dog Sitting Mead

About: I have been petsitting for family for a long time but more so in the past 4 years. I have petsat many different kinds of animals ranging from birds to even rats and gerbils, I love them all! I am most experienced with dogs however. I have dogsat 3 big, high-energy retrievers at once, but i have also dogsat a senior dog with a challenging chronic illness. I’m very good at following directions and am a quick learner! I’m available now until the end of August to petsit before I go back to nursing school at Gonzaga! I take a couple shifts (part-time) at a kids indoor playground cafe. But I should have lots of downtime to hangout with you furry friend(s) in between!! I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own. With over 4 years of petsitting experience, I prioritize your pet’s safety by following your routines closely, keeping doors, gates, and leashes secure. And of course making sure they have what they need in terms of food exercise and plenty of affection! I’m always paying close attention to each pet’s behavior so I can quickly notice any concerns and keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

About: From human babies to cats, bearded dragons and beyond, I'm excited to meet you and your pet! I've always loved animals, especially dogs, cats, and reptiles. Caring for your furry (and not so furry!) loved ones brings me lots of joy and is how I wish I could spend every day. I'm eager to please and find I'm available for daily drop ins for potty and feedings, or spending more time with your pet in the evenings while you work late. Also available for overnights up to a week, staying in your home so your animal is most comfy! I love taking relaxing walks and playing fetch, or playing in your fenced yard enjoying the warm weather. I can administer pills and monitor health conditions, and can provide physical assistance for small dogs and cats with mobility issues, like getting up and down furniture. I'm open and eager to learn administering other medication types if you are comfortable teaching! Anxious and shy pets warm to me easily, and so do senior dogs and cats! I have open availability during the summer months as I work for the school district. I want to spend my time loving and caring for your pet/s, so please let me know what your needs are and I'll do everything I can to make it work! After summer, I work part-time during the day, so I can stop by mid-morning to let dogs out to potty and play, and my evenings/weekends are open. I want to be best friends with your pet, so knowing their favorite treats and keeping their routine consistent is important to me. I promise to care for your baby like my own.

About: I got my first dog Ginger (Golden Retriever) when I was very young maybe about four or five years old. When she had puppies, I helped my parents take care of them. After Ginger, I grew up around several other dogs including Labrador Retrievers, a Schnauzer, Boston Terrier, Chihuahua, Great Pyrenees. I have had six years experience caring for my partner's Shepsky who is high anxiety including separation anxiety and when my mom is out of town for an extended period of time I care for her dog which includes medication administration. I currently work part time and have a very flexible schedule and the summer off from school so I can adapt to your needs as a pet sitter! When caring for pets in a client's home, I first like to conduct a meet and greet to learn your pet's specific routine with tasks like feeding and potty breaks and medications and scheduled administration if any. I will stick to this to reduce anxiety and excel at providing consistent communication with photo updates as needed. I also believe in respecting a client's home and belongings and abide by the "leave a place better than you found it" rule.

About: I am reliable when it comes to dog care because of my experience in dog-sitting for my friends, and taking care of my own pup when my parents are out of town. I am able to walk long ways with dogs, play with them for an extended amount of time, stick to a feeding schedule set by the owner, and keep the dog company and comfortable. Though I don't have experience in dogs with special needs, senior dogs, or have never had an emergency occur, I am willing to learn about the needs that a dog might have to keep the owner, and dog, at peace. I love the bond that I got with the dogs I have sat, and any future furry friendship that might happen! I am a full time student in my third year at Whitworth University who can provide pet care during some hours of the weekdays and weekends. I am willing to compromise with the pet owner about when they will need me to pet-sit. My family has owned dogs since I was 5 and it has always been my responsibility to feed them, bathe, and play with them. I also have loved taking them for walks, playing catch and snuggling with them. I am still able to take care of my current parent's dog, Frodo, if I ever need pet therapy from college or if they leave for a few days.

About: Your dog is not going to like it here. Your dog is going to LOVE it here. This isn’t just dog boarding; it’s a dog vacay. The yard is a like a dog park, with bushes to hide and seek in and plenty of room for zoomies. Dogs have access to a fully large, fenced yard and a large dog door to come inside as they feel the need, plenty of toys and a dog bed for lazy naps in every room. Two large yards are available and accessible to dogs that need more space or solitude. I am seasoned in all breeds, ages and temperaments. I have never had a dog come through my house that we don’t now share a special bond. Every fur baby is loved like my own and I will make them feel like they are part of my pack while they are in my care. Your dog will love to stay here and will be excited to come back. Ease your conscience knowing your dog is living its best life at dog camp while hopefully you are doing the same on vacation. Your dog's comfort and care are my first priority from the time we wake up and throughout the night. My schedule is your dog's schedule, and they are supervised the whole time they are with me. That being said, I can I take dogs as early as 5:30am, however pickup times are no later than 8pm. I’m sorry, I no longer have the exception to this rule. If I need to leave for any reason, they are either crated or in a dog proof room especially for dogs. My senior dog is welcoming to all. She is very good at picking up the tone of the dogs that stay with us and matches that energy. Her manners are on point, and she sets the best doggy example for others.

“We have booked irina last minute a few times and had some last minute changes to travel plans. She has been amazingly helpful and understanding! Will be using again!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life and have been pet sitting for the past 5 years. I have experience caring for multiple pets at a time, including both small and large breeds. I have one friendly cat at home who gets along well with dogs, plus a fenced backyard where your pups can safely play and get some energy out. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away! 🐾 I’m currently not working, I have a very low maintenance and easy going cat that I spend my days with. I’m 4 months post op from surgery but I’m very healed, just no running or jumping for me. I have a good sized fenced yard fit for plenty of play time. I allow dogs in my bed and have ample room for a crate in my bedroom as well. My cat is free range in my house so I will only be able to take dogs that are okay with cats. My neighborhood is safe and great for walks, I can also take your pets on car rides or out on adventures.

“Allison is a wonderful and caring pet sitter! I’m so glad I found her on Rover to look after my cat Reggie while I was gonna for a few days. Reggie warmed up to her right away from the first meet-n-greet and enjoyed her visits playing and getting some snuggles in. Allison is very responsive and checks in each visit. I will definitely be using Allison again!”

About: I’m two years dogless and I truly miss the companionship and the joy that dogs bring to daily life. Joining Rover is my way of getting back into the "dog world"—offering your pets the same dedicated love, patience, and attention I gave my own for over a decade. What I Offer: • Senior Care Knowledge: Having cared for a dog through his final years, I am very comfortable with senior pups and slow walks. Don’t think I don’t love puppies too! • A "Dogs-First" Home: Since I don't currently have a pet, your dog will be the "only child" and get 100% of my attention. • Lifelong Intuition: I understand that every dog has a unique personality, from high-energy athletes to professional couch potatoes. I work from home full-time, which means your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone. My home office is "dog-friendly," and I love having a furry coworker at my feet (or on the sofa!) throughout the day. What a day with me looks like: • Constant Supervision: Because I’m at my desk, I can offer frequent potty breaks and immediate attention whenever your pup needs it. • Structured Breaks: I use my lunch and mid-afternoon breaks for neighborhood walks, games of fetch, or just some quality backyard time. • Active "Face Time": I don't just sit in another room; I enjoy the companionship of dogs while I work. Whether your dog prefers to nap quietly nearby or needs occasional head scratches between my meetings, I’m here for it. • Flexible Needs: If your dog has a specific medication or feeding schedule that requires midday attention, my WFH setup makes that easy to accommodate. My home is a quiet, hazard-free sanctuary designed for stress-free stays. • Safety First: No other pets or children in the home—perfect for anxious or selective dogs. • Open Communication: Expect frequent "pupdates" and photos throughout the day. • Expert Handling: I am comfortable with senior care, medication, and following strict house rules.

“Excellence in every aspect! I would recommend her but she’s mine!!! JK! She’s great and I can tell Athena got good attention and play time!”

“Dr. Erma was such a help! She picked up a job last minute. I have a cat that needs insulin shots and doesn't like other people and Dr. Erma was able to administer her medication safely while I was away. Dr. Erma was very communicative, professional, and consistent! I got stuck traveling in the Delta glitch and Dr. Erma was so helpful and responsive to extend her times and make sure my cat got her medicine, even though I came home a few days later than was planned. I felt confident having my cat in her care!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs as pets all my life, so caring for them comes very naturally to me. I truly enjoy their different personalities, from the energetic pups who want to play and explore to the ones who are happiest curled up next to you. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I’ll treat your pup with the same patience, kindness, attention, and love that I’ve always given my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home while they’re with me. ❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and at home. When caring for your dog in your home, I’ll follow their normal routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll provide walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention while also respecting your home and your instructions.

About: My whole life, I’ve loved animals! Ever since a young age, I’ve always had pets in my home and have been dedicated to providing them with the best care possible. Although I’ve had many different types of pets, I’ve been taking care of my cats since I was a child, and that’s where I really shine. Along with being someone who is dedicated to giving your cat the things they need, I have extra experience in playing as one of my cats loves to run around still at 14 years old, AND also giving shots, as one of my cats has a medical condition that requires them twice daily. Overall, I really enjoy being able to create trust with animals and my goal is always to provide excellent care. Your pets mean the world to me, and I’m always willing to go above and beyond to create an outstanding experience for you! I’m currently working part-time, so I’m able to spend a lot of time with your pets! I am available on both weekdays (Monday through Thursday) after 5PM and during weekends (Saturday and Sunday) all day. I would love to care for your pets by giving them the daily care, attention, and love that they require (and deserve)! Whether it’s just providing them with basic case, giving them some company, or running around and playing with them, I am determined to give both you and your pets the best experience possible.

“Paige is the best!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life, and I really love animals. I don't work, so I can be around all the time as a regular to care for your pet, rather than having to use someone new all the time. I really enjoy being able to be around dogs. And the dogs have all had a good time with me :) I have three dogs at my house, and we have dog guests quite a lot. Some are older, and some I have had the pleasure of raising from puppies. I'm currently helping take care of a 13 year old dog. And I took care of a disabled dog who had paralysis in his hind legs, and I had to nurse back after spine surgery.

“Lisa has done drop in visits for us a few times. We have a challenging array of pets but she always keeps them happy and sends updates. She is a great communicator, even if you are not.”
