Dog Walking Otis Orchards

About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, and I always strive to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently have a Golden Retriever and a German Shepherd mix, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds and high-energy dogs. I’ve also administered medications to my own dogs when needed and always follow care instructions carefully. Beyond caring for my own pets, I’ve looked after many friends’ and family members’ dogs while they were away. I also rescued one of my own dogs, which gave me experience helping an adult dog adjust to a new home, build confidence, and replace unwanted habits with positive behaviors through patience and consistent training. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether your dog prefers a relaxing walk or an active adventure, I’ll tailor their care to their individual needs while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available most days for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. If I’m providing house sitting, I just ask for about two hours each day to care for and exercise my own dogs while my husband is at work. Outside of that, I’m committed to following your pet’s normal routine and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and any special instructions so they receive the care they’re used to. Whether we’re out on a walk or spending time at home, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that lightly. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit, taking your dog for a walk, or house sitting, I’ll provide attentive, compassionate care while doing my best to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I’d also be happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Kayla was so kind to walk out fur girls! She was extremely communicative and even sent us pictures :) We will definitely be asking for her again!”

About: I LOVE animals! I’ve grown up with cats since I was 5 years old, and have had dogs for about 4 years now. I am very comfortable with both, and I love to build relationships and trust with the animals I care for. I have been watching animals including cats, dogs big and small, as well as horses for friends and family for about 3 years now alongside my current job. I have the most experience with cats, and German Shepherds and other big dogs. I am also experienced with senior cat and dog care, including giving medicine and physically assisting larger dogs when needed. I also love to spend time playing with animals, getting to know them and their personalities, and helping them to feel comfortable and safe! I currently work M-F at an elementary school and have online classes for graduate school on Monday and Tuesday evenings. I am available for house sitting though the week, but due to my work I am unable to give potty breaks from 8 am to 4 pm on weekdays. I am available most weekends and my calendar will be updated accordingly. I pride myself in building trust and relationships with the animals I care for. I love to engage with animals and play with them, as well as make sure that they are comfortable and feel safe with me in their environment. I am able to help them physically if needed, and administer medication to ensure their health and safety. I also love being around animals - I want to make sure they feel loved and cared for while you are gone!!

About: I’ve loved animals since I was a little girl, when my family rescued a pregnant dog, and we raised her puppies together. I have a lot of experience with cats, especially seniors who need extra love or medicine. While I enjoy dogs of all ages, I specialize in small to medium breeds. I’m a patient sitter who focuses on building trust. My husband often joins me on our pet-sitting adventures! He absolutely loves dogs, and they always have a blast playing with him. This means your pet gets double the love, attention, and playtime during our visits. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are our top priorities! I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available for midday walks and check-ins both on weekdays and weekends. I can easily stick to your pet’s usual routine to make sure they get plenty of attention and potty breaks while you’re away. I live right by the Centennial Trail, which is perfect for safe and scenic walks! I always keep dogs on a leash and stay very alert to our surroundings. Since I don't host pets at my place, I’m happy to come to your neighborhood for our adventures. I’ll also send you plenty of cute photo updates so you know exactly how much fun your furry friend is having!

“Nicole is very punctual, dependable and loving towards our dogs. Very good at following directions. I look forward to a contit relationship when I return in April. My dogs sit by the door and wait for her everyday.”

“Stephanie was a saving grace for a last minute ask to come walk our pups so they weren’t cooped up all day during a long work shift. She is always very responsive and helpful, and our pups love her! Thanks again!”

“Adam truly puts our minds at ease. Our old English Sheep dog (who can be pretty temperamental by nature) has taken right to him. Adam is clearly patient, very reliable, and seems to have to genuinely enjoy our pet.”

About: I provide concierge level care for your pets giving them lots of attention. I've taken care of all types of dogs including german shepherds and high energy breeds, and have fostered several pups destined for service. I have two cats of my own. I even feed and muck stalls for horses or other barn animals. Pls inquire re those rates. I am retired and take care of my hobby farm near Liberty Lake. I am very experienced with pets and they get a lot of attention and companionship from me. I can walk dogs or play with ball for exercise. I sit or play with cats depending on their personality. If more daily companionship is needed for dogs I am used to having them come with me for errands in my SUV in a crate.

About: I have always had a pet. I have experience with dogs, cats, fish, rodents, reptiles, horses, cows, wildlife, ducks, chickens, rabbits...feed, groom, cleanup, minor medical, walk, play, snuggle... I am currently available most any time for pet care---hours and days are open Sunday through Saturday. I just request some notice as I do have pets of my own and farm animals to care for or get coverage for if needed. Also, please be considerate as to the time of day you message me to request services. I typically will not get back to you after 10 p.m. or before 8 a.m. as I do sleep, have my own chores, etc... 😉 I am happy to accommodate your pets needs. I do great with checklists and cliff notes :). I can walk or play with your pet. I can just keep them company and care for them. Your baby your rules...

“Vanessa is great, this is the second time she has been available at the last minute to help with our dog. I injured my knee and couldn’t walk her so I was super grateful that Vanessa was able to help!”

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life and I’ve cared for friends and family’s dogs/animals for just as long! I’m the one people call with confidence to watch/take care of their pets. I love them like my own and want them and to have the best experience possible! I’m a dog groomer, but I am looking to do this as a part time job. Dogs and their health/care have been a number 1 priority for me always. I have a 9 month old kitten and a 3 year old poodle who love each other dearly! They have scheduled feeding times, I do a lot with my poodle for instance we do lots of walks, play time, dog park time and training sessions. I tend to follow the rules of the owners when watching or taking care of animals because they tend to love routine and it makes it flow better and makes them less anxious.

About: I have had dogs since I was 10 years old when I began showing them in agility through 4-H. I have had several foster dogs over the years including those with severe anxiety, one that only spoke Russian, and one that had to wear a diaper. I have two personal dogs who are wonderful adventure companions for my boys and I. I am a special education teacher. I am fully available during weekends, summer, and holidays. During work days I work from 8:00 - 4:00. I can run home for a potty break once during my scheduled work day as needed. I have a large fenced yard with a doggy door system both to the heated garage and outside. I have a separate cat room built off of my garage. It has heat and air conditioning with a large window. This spring a catio will be a wonderful addition to the totally secure space. My home is warm and inviting. I have two lovely children (9 and 11) who adore animals as much as their mother!

About: I have cared for pets (dogs, cats, birds, fish) most of my adult life, both my own and other people's pets. I have experience with pets all ages and with special needs. I bring compassionate fun care to every pet I meet so they can be happy, and you can be at peace in knowing that your loved one is in great hands! I have wide availability on my schedule as I work from home. Feel free to reach out so I can learn more about your pet/s and ask/ answer any questions you may have. I will ensure to follow all your recommendations and guidance. I like to ask questions about what your pets enjoys and make the experience super comfortable and enjoyable for them.

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors and families pets since I was young and love animals of all kinds! I’m never opposed to a job, whether it be a play date, walk or pet sitting! I can even shuttle your pup to and from vet or grooming appointments if need be! I currently work full time, but I work from home Fridays and am available all day Saturdays and Sundays! I have my own pup who loves playing with others, and is always happy to make a new friend! I’m very attentive to any needs your pet may have and will follow any instructions to a T! If you have any concerns I’m more than happy to reassure :)

About: I've taken care of a wide variety of animals ranging from dags and cats to horses and lizards! I have lots of experience with large and energetic dogs in particular! During the summer I am free all day every day and can spend as much time walking or just hanging out with your pets as they need! I treat all animals with respect and love, making sure to pay attention to their needs and comfort, but I am not afraid to be assertive when needed.

“Fantastic!”

“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 have been pet-sitting since I was in early high school and I was beyond thrilled every time my friends, neighbors, or family would entrust me with caring for their furry family member. As a lifetime dog owner and pet lover, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you know will take good care of them. With my lifetime of experience, ranging from puppies to elderly dogs, I can guarantee that your dog will be cared for with the love and diligence they deserve! I'm currently a graduate student working in my summer internship. I have a lot of availability Wednesdays-Sunday but am working on Mondays and Tuesdays. On the days I am available, I am dedicated to giving your pet the highest quality of care. When at your home, I will adhere to all of your instructions and the needs of your pet. I know how important routine can be for a pet, so I will follow that routine to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable while they have a stranger visiting their home. Whatever your pets needs are, I will fulfill them!
