“Vanessa has helped me out so much this year walking my pup. She is always professional and has great communication skills! Thank you for a great year :)”

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.

“Nicole was great! She fit us in for a last minute booking and even made time for a quick meet-and-greet beforehand. I would highly recommend her!”

“Truly sad that this was the last walk for the summer. We will definitely be looking Jess up when we come back to the area in April. Lucy is going to miss you and Lyla very much. Thank you for being so kind, professional, and punctual.”

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: Hello, I go by Rae :) I grew up with dogs, cats, horses & chickens! I am a long time pet-sitter for family, friends, & strangers alike. Few things about me: I enjoy hiking with my dogs, teaching yoga, making music, cooking delicious food, and reading. I would love to care for your fur babies and will do so as if they were my own. My own dog, Milo, gets along well with others and would love to be friends with fur babes. Looking forward to planning a visit with you! I currently work afternoons into the evenings! Typically, I arrange scheduling as needed per each unique booking. My routine is somewhat flexible! I look forward to figuring out what works best for us both! I cannot currently offer boarding but love to drop in to love on/exercise/play with your animals as needed! All is customizable of course! Looking forward to it!

“Valarie is a fantastic caretaker to your pet in any capacity. Rest assured if your a pet owner you will admire the expertise Valerie brings to your dog. Please take this message as a ticket for any pet owner to utilize when there away from their pets.”

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.

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 believe that like people, meeting dogs where they're at and fulfilling their individual needs is so important. I have experience caring for dogs with a wide range of temperaments, from high energy buddies to low energy love-bugs and everything in between. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, shy, avoidant dogs, and dogs with aggressive behavioural tendencies. Every dog deserves love, affection, and care, and I can't wait to meet yours! Currently, my availability is wide. So, I have plenty of time to care for and spend time with your pups. My schedule is flexible and I care for pets throughout Spokane. Every dog is different, and it can be stressful to some when their humans are away. I believe that making sure they are relaxed, happy, and comfortable is key. I look forward to getting to know and spend time with your dog!

About: I've cared for dogs in my family my whole life. I would love to have tons of dogs but I can't afford them at the moment, so this is the next best thing! I love all animals but dogs will always have a special place in my heart. I have no limitations on dog size as I am confident I can handle the largest breeds. I have my own dog currently named Akuba who can accompany your dog on their walk if they are friendly with other dogs, and for the highest energy dogs I offer a long board ride along option to make sure they get out all the energy that they need to! I work in the mornings during the weekday until 1 pm, so I am currently am available on the weekdays after 2 pm and weekends I currently do not offer house sitting services, However I can guarantee professional, respectful & safe engagements for all Boarding, Drop in and Walk services. I will care for the Animals as if they are my own.

“Skyla was not only on-time but even spared a little extra time because the dogs wanted to sniff around on their walk a little longer! She also made time to come over ahead of the very first booking to meet the dogs and me so we could all get acquainted and she could see where their leashes, bowls, and treats are kept. The dogs LOVE her, and we look forward to booking more walks, stop-ins, etc. with Skyla.”

“Macie is great. She came by to get to know Riley before housesitting for us in early September. Riley is reactive and a bit squirrely, but Macie handled him very well.”

About: Animals and animal care has always been my passion, I’m currently working towards getting my bachelors degree in animal science and zoology! I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals and I’ve done a lot of rescue and rehoming! I love animals, from cats to fish, lizards and birds. I’m crazy about all of them. I’ve cared for babies and elderly of a lot of different species and I pride myself in always doing my best in taking care of all their needs. Ive got quite a few of my own babies at the moment but they’re all very friendly and adjust easily to new animals. I don’t currently work because I’m working towards getting my bachelors degree in animal science/zoology, so I’m home 24/7 to care for my own pets and school, I have two crate trained dogs, five cats, two frogs, two birds, fish, and a hamster, so I’m basically always cleaning and playing or training one or the other! While I live in an apartment, we have multiple fenced dog parks and ample walking area away from the roads for walkies with the dogs, my apartment is pretty spacious especially in the living room and animals are allowed around the whole apartment. If I were to watch your babies at your residence I would stick strictly to the rules you set for me and never overstep your boundaries or rules.

About: What sets me apart is that I’m a pet owner too, so I know exactly the level of care and attention I expect for my own dog when I’m away. Because of that, I’m committed to providing the same love, reliability, and peace of mind to you. My goal is to make sure you feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in caring hands, so you can enjoy your time away or focus on whatever brings you from home without having to worry. As a graduate student, my schedule includes plenty of study time, but it also gives me the flexibility to spend quality time with your pets! I genuinely enjoy being outdoors, whether it’s hiking, exploring nature, or going on long walks, so making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and enrichment is something I truly look forward to. I’ll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care I would my own. My own dog is my world, so I truly understand how important it is to know your pet is loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I know the trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else, and I treat every dog as if they were my own!

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my lifelong commitment to exceptional pet care, rooted in a deep love for animals. Having cared for my own beloved King Charles Cavaliers with unwavering devotion, I understand the profound bond between pets and their owners. With a keen eye for detail and a genuine passion for animals, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of every furry friend entrusted to my care. Your pets aren't just clients to me; they're cherished members of the family, and I treat them as such, ensuring they receive the same level of care and affection as my own beloved companions. As a freelance marketer who has recently moved back to the area, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine. Having the flexibility of managing my own schedule allows me to prioritize the well-being of your furry companions effectively. Whether it's taking breaks between projects for a refreshing walk with your dog or spending quality time cuddled up with your cat in the evenings, I ensure that your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. This balance between my professional commitments and pet care responsibilities not only enriches my life but also strengthens the bond I share with your beloved pets, fostering a sense of trust and reliability in our relationship. Your pets will be loved and treated just as mine. If there are things you don’t allow, please let me know and I will follow your rules so there is no interference with your dogs behavior.

“Professional, kind, and communicative. My dog immediately took to her even though she can be a little anxious with most people. I think Natalie has the “I love dogs “pheromone”

About: Hi! I have been an animal lover and owner my whole life. I currently have a senior lab-chow mix (13), so I understand the extra love the older pups need! I have experience dealing with behavioral dogs, administering medicine, and training puppies! Whatever your animal may need, I am happy to do. While I work full-time, my work is fairly flexible. Leaving your pet is stressful, so I am happy to adjust my schedule where I can to help give you peace of mind. You know your dog better than I ever could! When doing drop in visits, I will make sure your dog is comfortable with me and my presence. I will make sure they get the love they deserve while you are away!
