Dog Walking Mount Hope

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, mastiffs, 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: - Grew up in the country surrounded by dogs, cats, reptiles, chickens, and other farm animals my whole life. - I’ve house sitted for family friends dogs and plants - I highly prioritize communication and safety on both sides I’m very available at the moment as I just graduated. I am happy both to set up a reoccurring service or stay flexible from week to week over the summer. I can’t keep animals in my apartment, but I am physically and mentally capable of the challenges regarding pets like crates, leashes, exercise/play, differences in personalities, and minor discipline if wanted.

About: Hi! Over the years I have proudly fostered independently and through Haus of Dogs, Operation Foster, Seattle Area Feline Rescue and Paws and Claws. I am currently a volunteer at SCRAPS. I can provide excellent references and I have experience with senior pets and pets on meds and supplements. I will be sure to make your animal feel loved and cared for. I know it's hard for them and hard for you to be away from them, so never hesitate to text or facetime. I will make sure your pets don't feel alone or abandoned, and that they get exercise, affection, and plenty of food, water, treats, pets, play time, and outdoor time. I understand how important it is to the well being of anyone to get those needs met. Can't wait to meet you! I usually work from home and never work long days away from home. I'm flexible and live in a very pet friendly building with support. I usually work from home and never work long days away from home.

About: I’ve taken care of animals, specifically dogs and cats since I was younger. I own a cat but have really loved and trained my own dogs in the past. Can spoil and can also train if wanted. I do work at a retirement home as a home care aide so my hours can somewhat vary but if I can make it work I will 100%. If my partner could be a “testimonial” he’d say I geek out and have to pet every dog (if the owner looks tolerant of that of course haha) that we pass by. Let me know exactly how you want your lul baby taken care of or any quirks I should be aware of ;) and I will make sure to follow whatever guidelines/instructions are set :). I’m currently working part time and I love animals. I have a spicy sweetheart black cat who is spoiled but still has his rules, not that he likes to listen to em ;) haha. I need notice for overnight sitting and such just so I can arrange my other schedule around it :). When overnight sitting I can do extra services like dog walking, play time, potty breaks, cuddles, and treats if allowed ;). I’m good w crate training as well for the dogs that need their safe space and will also let them cuddle with me if it’s an overnight and they’re the clingy type :). Genuinely just love dogs and cats, especially dogs though, too pure for this world <3

About: I have owned and loved on numerous dogs my entire life. I can never remember a time when I didn't have a tail waggin', face lickin', life long companion. No special skills here, just a heart that overflows for all dogs. I am a newly retired school district worker. My true passion has always been in taking care of animals. I don't really travel and what a better way to spend my days I have a huge fenced yard and a walking trail right behind my house that I use on a regular basis. Your furry friend will be allowed to roam wherever and sleeping on the furniture will never be a problem.

“Erica communicate with us and sends pictures. She just started and was willing to come meet our pup before working with her. We are happy to have found her!!”

About: *** I will be available only for Drop-in Visits through the Winter in Spokane and CDA starting November 1st. Hope to talk to you soon!**** 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 been providing animal care for ten years, mostly with dogs and cats. I am comfortable with all dog breeds and I am genuinely interested in getting to know your pet. I have my own golden retriever, Bentley) who I have raised from a puppy (he is now 6). I am reliable, kind, and relaxed. Thank you for reading! I have completely open availability! I am hoping to fill my days with pet care. When I’m not working with animals, I am an elementary school teacher turned substitute. We have a large, fenced yard with plenty of space to run around. There are three others dogs in my home, two golden retrievers (6yrs) and one chihuahua mix (10 months). They all get along well with cats and other dogs, and are overall very easy going.

About: I have several years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I genuinely love animals and understand that every pet has their own unique needs, routines, and quirks. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, giving plenty of attention and affection, and maintaining their normal routines while their owners are away. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your pets feel happy and cared for just like they’re at home! I am currently working part time and going to school online so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! They will get lots of play time and walks while you’re away! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep yours company! I can crate your dog if that that is what you prefer but while I am out of the house there are doggie doors to the outside so they always have access to the bathroom. I usually have the dogs in bed with me but it is totally customizable to what you would prefer for your baby!

About: Hello! My name is Emma Brown and I work in the outdoor field hoping to work with wildlife in the future. I have always had dogs in my household growing up. Ever since I was young, I made it my job to teach my dogs tricks, make sure they don’t get into trouble, and give them the best home. At one point, my childhood dog had a litter of 11 chocolate lab puppies. I helped to raise them up all the way until they left for their new homes. I also watched other people’s dogs growing up. I have always made it my priority to understand each pet owners request and stick to that schedule. Prioritizing each dog’s safety and health has always been my biggest strength as well. This is what I love to do and I can’t wait to get to know your pets! I’m currently in between jobs right now and will have a lot of time to be with your pets. Depending on what you ask, I can take out your pets on walks, to be let out, or to just be around however long you may ask for. Just let me know what schedule you’d like me to fit into. I unfortunately can’t house your dog in my home. I can pet and house sit to make sure to keep their schedule as normal as possible. I always try my best to prioritize their safety and health, so only giving them their own food and treats is how I do so. I don’t feed my own pets my extra food scraps so don’t worry about that. Once you let me know of their schedule, I’ll follow it to the best of my ability. I would also love to know their mannerisms and quirks so I can best approach them and their care.

About: My first job was a at a doggy daycare/ boarding facility but I have been pet sitting since I was 12. I’ve worked with puppies all the way through seniors receiving cancer treatment. I have a playful golden retriever who adores all animals big and small. I have experience bathing and giving insulin to cats too. I volunteered at a rescue ranch for a number of years and have experience with livestock. I personally have ducks, chickens, reptiles and a senior cat as companions for my golden. I am currently working 3 days a week for a tax office and am unavailable from January to April. On my off days I hike and take my golden to the river. I have a contract that I have been using since 2010 that outlines my safety procedures. When I am in a clients home I always have them review it and do a walk around of the home with them. From my years at doggy daycare I am pretty familiar with certain breed characteristics like the awesome heights husky’s can jump or the tunneling ability of a weenie. I also am very understanding about separation anxiety as someone who has worked at rescues. For walks I require a harness or collar the dog cannot slip out of. I require an in person meeting beforehand, if doggy play dates with my dog are requested we must meet on neutral ground first to see how they interact.

About: I've grown up with pets all my life on my family's ranch, where my dad and I specialized in training a wide range of dog breeds in bird hunting, hound hunting, herding, and general obedience skills. I am available on weekends and throughout most hours of the day during the week. I do work full time as a fish biologist, but my schedule is flexible and allows me to care for pets as needed to make sure they are always given proper care.

About: Hi I'm Katie. I'm an avid dog lover and would love to care for your pet. I work 3 days a week as a nurse and have the rest of the week off to care for your pup. I've grown up around dogs and now have a dog of my own. I'm very active myself and take my dog, Caspian, on long walks and adventures! My previous pup was a diabetic and I know the struggle it can be to find a good caregiver for your diabetic pup. I am willing to check sugars and give insulin as needed. Over the years I have taken care of friends and family's dogs, whether it be dog walks, dog sitting, etc. I would love to take care of your dog for you as well!

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I previously worked with Wag and have walked 100+ dogs, giving me experience with everything from energetic pups to shy or nervous dogs. I’ve also had my own dog, Chewy, for 7 years, and he’s truly my best friend and travel buddy. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, comfortable with different routines, and treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always for your dog to feel safe, loved, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently in between jobs and actively job searching, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I have my own dog, Chewy, who I’ve cared for for 7 years, and taking care of him is a big part of my daily routine. We typically walk about 3 miles a day, and I’m used to keeping a consistent routine with walks, meals, playtime, and plenty of attention. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while making sure to follow their individual routine and their owner’s instructions. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and giving pets plenty of affection and companionship. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and keep things clean and tidy while making sure their pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are doing well while they’re away.
