Dog Boarding in Moscow

I am a third year veterinary medical student at WSU focusing on behavior. I have a Masters of Science degree in animal behavior (specifically studying coyote behavior), and I love meeting new dogs, walking dogs and training dogs and cats! I also find dog walking to be an especially mindful and almost meditative experience, and I love the opportunity to enjoy the surroundings and get some exercise with a new pet friend. As a veterinary student and pet owner (and lover!), I know how important it is for dogs to get exercise, experience their surroundings and get out of the house for a bit. I was so happy to find a service where I could help provide that for people that work busy schedules, but want to ensure the best care for their pet. The walk is always more fun with occasional treats, so if you leave treats out I will be happy to dispense them during the walk or before I lock up. I look forward to meeting your dog(s)!

Your dog will be cared for by a lifelong animal lover who loves to exercise! I will get your dog outside to walk, hike, or run and we'll come back tired every day. We are a mellow household, with a very easy going 55lb mixed breed dog and 2 dog-loving cats. I have taken multiple dog training classes, and have earned a canine good citizen award.

Weekdays: I can let them out at lunchtime and we'll exercise in early mornings and/or evenings.

Weekends: I'm home and flexible, will often get multi-hour exercise and drive to outdoor trails/parks.

Activities will be tailored to your dog's needs! Please tell me what they love to do and how I can give them the best care while you're away!

I am a veterinary student at Utah State, and from my previous jobs and experience I am proficient at administering medications, feeding all types of food, and do not mind caring for an elderly or rehabilitating dog. I am comfortable with all breeds and am willing to follow any guidelines left for me. I have worked at a handful of clinics and I am more than comfortable helping with any dogs possible situations. I am also more than willing to bring animals to their grooming or veterinary appointments if necessary. I am a very active runner and would be more than happy to exercise your animals with my dog on hikes, runs or long walks. When school starts in the fall, my availability will be altered.

I grew up on a ranch with all sorts of animals from horses to bearded dragons. It's probably the reason I will be attending veterinary school this August. Owning dogs has always been a passion of mine, They are such an important part of the family are and when they are with me, I will do my best to give them as much love and attention as they normally receive. I enjoy taking my dogs for walks around the neighborhood and hikes at Moscow mountain. I have a fenced in yard for the dogs to play in and I love having little training sessions with them. I have taken dog training classes for both of my dogs and through the Spokane Humane Society while I was volunteering for them. Since I work from home, I have pretty open availability and your dog will almost never have to be left alone. My friends have always relied on me when they need someone to watch their dogs, I love doing it and I always feel a little sad when they go.

Feel free to check out my pet care Instagram! @pawfect_petcare This is where I post adorable photos of my pet care adventures and you will be able to see all of my amazing, regular pet care pups (and other critters) who do frequent stays with me!

My name is Zoe, I am a full time student at WSU majoring in animal sciences. I am a pre-veterinary medicine student with years of experience working in veterinary clinics, dog daycares and (currently) the humane society.

I live in a small duplex located in Pullman, which has a small, fenced-in backyard for your pup to play in! My pet care pups are treated like my own, meaning that they get lots of walks, playtime, treats, pets and love. This also includes frequent potty breaks, as I have a very small pup of my own and do not like to have her waiting too long to go potty. The one day that I do work a full 8 hour shift (Saturdays) I have a schedule 90 minute break that I always come home for, to make sure that the pups are let out for a potty break and taken out for a walk.

I have professional experience with dogs of various breeds, ages, sizes, temperaments and medication needs. I do have my own pup, Mitsy, who is a very friendly, 4.5 year old, 8 pound chiweenie who has been my family member for 4 years now since adopting her. She has lots of different toys in her toy pile that she has never minded sharing and loves to play and cuddle with our pet care pup friends! Her sister Charlie is a quiet and calm 9 pound kitty who has been in our family for 5 years since her adoption, so we do ask that your pup is cat-friendly in order to stay with us.

I do have quite a few regular pet care pups who book for the holidays, so if you do have holiday dates in mind please try to book ahead so that I can accommodate you! Aside from that, I do live in Pullman year-round and will be here for all of the major holidays and weekends.

I look forward to hearing from you and your furry family member in order to book for your pet care needs!

We both grew up with dogs and other animals, and now we can vicariously have that friend again through your pet!

((This summer we are in the East Bay Area, CA until MID-AUGUST. Thereafter, we will be in the Palouse Area of Idaho/Washington! Please, do not hesitate to ask if we are in your area at the moment!))

My partner and I work from home, so your pup would become a part of our family during Boarding, with plenty of opportunity to walk on to UC Berkeley's (or U of Idaho's) expansive campus. During Sittings I treat your home with the utmost respect and always leave it cleaner than I found it, and I am happy to do other house-sitting tasks like watering plants. We have primarily been boarding/sitting, but we like to take walks when we have the time.

Jazz and I are very flexible, so ask us anything! We aim to provide the best service available for your pet, and have experience with high maintenance animals who may suffer from anxiety. Were value attention to detail and will always follow your directions to the “T”. Additionally, we compete for the love of your dog, so there won’t be any lack of attention! I can ensure your dog is properly cared for with all of our hearts. I love the experience of getting to know your pet over the course of a few days, and it is ALWAYS hard to say goodbye.

We have had exclusively positive experiences with dogs throughout our lives, and we're excited to make more memories with yours!

Thanks for trusting us with your best friend!

COVID19 Note: Here are a few things to note about what we're doing to stay healthy!

* We are currently working from home, and adhering to social distancing recommendations

* A face mask is required during an meet & greet if in my home

* A face mask is preferred during drop-offs

* If you text upon arrival, I'm happy to come outside and gather your dog and their stuff (no mask needed)

* Repeat clients have the option of putting their dogs directly in the backyard through the gate, and avoiding face-to-face contact all together, if they wish

With all that bummer Covid stuff out of the way, here's some stuff about me, my house, and my dog!

Having always owned dogs, I know how hard it can be to put your pet’s safety in someone else’s hands. I am a reliable, compassionate, and maintain open and prompt communication before/during your pets time with me. I have experience with puppies on a potty training schedule, senior dogs, and dogs with health issues that need extra TLC. My super dog friendly household is filled with cuddles (if they’re in to it), toys, comfy couches, and a large secure fenced in back yard! Pictures of my home and back yard are included in my photos.

- The floor plan of my house is multiple dog friendly, in that I have three, four foot walk-through gates set up so that if I’m not in the room to supervise, I separate my dog from yours, or any other dogs staying in my home until I determine how they get along or if it appears they need some quiet time.

- I am conscience of giving guest dogs one-on-one attention from me, and a break from my dog.

- My back yard has a secure 6 foot wooden fence, and I have a removable dog door leading to the back yard.

- All furniture in my house is dog friendly, so please let me know if your preference is they not get on furniture.

- Hank, my German Shepherd, LOVES LOVES LOVES his dog friends! Hank has attended doggy day care several times, and I'm told by staff he gets along with all dogs (including a high energy, bossy male dog), he takes corrections from other dogs well and gives them space, and is "very easy going". I agree! With all dogs who have stayed in our home, Hank was welcoming, didn't take it personally if they got after him for being too excited, and molded well to their energy and play style. He can be excited when initially meeting a new dog and forgets his manners (pulling on his leash, barking, crying) but once he gets to meet them, he's friendly and ready to play! If your dog does not want to play, Hank respects their space once he understands. He regularly spends time with a 15 year old wobbly legged lab who has zero interest in him, and he's respectful of her. Prior to adopting Hank, he was fostered in a home with 5 other dogs and did well with all of them.

All dogs have their behavioral quirks, and I’m realistic that not all dogs will get along in a new environment, even when they’re generally dog-friendly, so I have systems in place to ensure everyone stays safe, has fun, and gets boatloads of attention!

Please message me if you have any questions, concerns, or want to discuss the logistics of your pet being in my care. I would love the opportunity to answer questions and address any concerns.

I am probably the biggest animal lover you could ever meet. I have two Australian shepherds, a little corgi, and a highland lynx cat who are so fun and sweet. Yep, practically a small zoo! :)

I am very careful and have been experienced giving medicine as well. I live in Moscow but can travel if needed. You can feel safe with your pets with me. I love to take pictures of your pet and keep you updated while gone. You have nothing to worry about with me! I treat all animals as my own.

I have also experience with special needs dogs. My parents dog is blind and I am very well accustomed to special dogs.

Please choose me ! :) :) :) :)

My wife and I Grew up with dogs and we have had dogs for the last 15 years as well. Currently we have an energetic German Shepherd mix that is super playful and well trained and socialized. Assuming our dogs get along, They will have plent of time to romp around and play together in our back yard and try to maximize play time! In the summer, trips to the reservoir if the dog is a water lover to have fun swimming and running around. We will always treat any pet in our home as if they were ours and a sibling of our dog. We both come from families that have been very loving of dogs. Obviously our dogs would need to get along though!

Hi!! I’m Amber, thanks for your interest in my profile! I have had many years experience caring for all types of animals, not just dogs and cats. I am currently a pre veterinary student just looking for ways to make some extra money doing something I love. I have worked in boarding facilities and with many rescues. I am very knowledgeable about the needs and requirements of animals, as well as I am extremely compassionate towards them. I have worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and levels of training. I am comfortable with multiple animals, any breeds, sizes, age as well as special needs. I am comfortable and trained in basic first aid and cpr for animals, as well as administering medicine and handling difficult animals. I also do anal glands and nail trimmings if requested! I would love to make your time away for your companion as stress free as possible!
