About: I have 6 years of experience as a veterinary technician in emergency and critical care. If your pets have any special medical needs, I can be your go-to sitter. I am also a current veterinary student at WSU. I have experience caring for all kinds of animals, from furry friends to exotics. During the summer my schedule is wide open. I work part-time, but will have plenty of time provide all of the care your pets may need. My extensive experience as a veterinary technician allows me to properly care for any pets with medical needs. My trained eye allows me to recognize if your pet is in any kind of medical distress, allowing you to relax while away from your beloved pets. I am well-versed in animal behavior as well, which allows me adjust to pets with anxiety or shyness.
“Morgan was great taking care of my two cats while I was out of the country. I loved the notes she left in the app and the photos sent easing my mind. I have absolutely no complaints! Would rebook for my next vacation!”
About: We had a golden retriever and he was a joy in our home. I'd like to have a dog, but our cat is to uncomfortable with dogs around. Being with your dog will get me that dog fix! I need to get back to walking every day, and walking a dog will help with this. We can exercise together. Getting them outside is key. I do not have a yard where I could keep a dog at my home. I am willing to come to your house so your dogs routine won't change.
“Sara is AMAZING! She took care of my 3 cats for 10 days and did more than expected. She was prompt with stopping by everyday after her classes to feed and check on the cats. She spent time each evening giving them snuggles and pets. Cleaned their bowls and litter box and sent me photos everyday. I felt very comfortable knowing they were well cared for while I was gone and by the photos it looked my cats were very happy too 😊 She is a vet student at WSU so I also knew that if any of cats were sick, she would take good care of them and get them any needed medical attention. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 11. From my dog, to my family member's dogs, I've taken them on walks, given medication through pill pockets, fed them, brushed them, played with them, and given them all the love and attention they could ever want! I'm working part time, so I can give as much attention as possible to your pets! I'll be constantly in the area, so no need to worry about your pet being alone for too long. I’ll take the fur baby (or babies) on walks, play with them, love on them, and everything in between! Any need they could have, I can meet.
About: I’ve spent years caring for animals of all kinds and would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own! I’m currently majoring in Animal Science/Pre-Veterinary Medicine at WSU and am interning at the Whitman County Humane Society. My experience includes owning and caring for a wide variety of animals, including frogs, chameleons, chinchillas, guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, ducks, dogs, and more. I currently have two dogs of my own—a Chihuahua mix and an Australian Cattle Dog mix. I volunteered at the Humane Society of Utah for two years and worked at a doggy daycare for nearly a year, where I learned a great deal about dog behavior, socialization, and training. Before moving to Washington, I also worked as a receptionist at an emergency veterinary hospital for 1.5 years. That experience gave me valuable knowledge of veterinary medicine and helped me become comfortable working with pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I genuinely love helping both pets and their people, and I enjoy putting my veterinary and animal care experience to good use. I have a huge soft spot for senior pets and understand the extra patience, attention, and care they often need. I’m open to caring for all kinds of animals and would love more opportunities to work with pets of every species, age, and condition. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my top priorities! Pet care fits very naturally into my schedule. I am currently a student at WSU and intern at the Whitman County Humane Society, which allows me flexibility throughout the week. I plan my schedule carefully so that pets receive consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s feeding, walks, medication administration, playtime, or simply spending quality time with them, I make sure every pet’s needs are met and that they feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. My top priorities are safety, trust, and communication. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely and maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I pay close attention to behavior changes, appetite, and overall wellbeing. With my experience working in veterinary medicine, animal shelters, and dog daycare, I am comfortable handling pets with different personalities, ages, and medical needs. I provide regular updates, photos, and prompt communication so owners can feel confident that their pets are receiving excellent care.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. I have my own dog and am very adaptable when it comes to pet care. I’m an avid animal lover and am prepared to provide any kind of care that your pet needs. I’m currently looking for side jobs during the summer while I am in Pullman, so pet-sitting fits perfectly into my current lifestyle. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog-walking, and house-sitting. I’m experienced in training my own dog, so I am well-equipped to uphold boundaries and training for your pets. I’m prepared to respect any boundaries and rules you have for your dogs and/or cats. I’m also experienced with having a pup with some medical conditions that require medication and monitoring, so I’m prepared to handle pets that may have some medical needs.
About: I’m CPR & First-Aid certified with significant experience caregiving for animals of various species. I’d love to provide superior companionship, dependable care, and complete any and all pet tasks needed. I’m hoping to save up money to attend a study abroad trip this summer. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I will be in Pullman for the majority of this summer. My summer is very open to cat sit, depending on the dates needed. I can stop by multiple times a day, spend the night, etc. I’m willing to help w most animal care tasks, just let me know! I live in a 4-bed apartment currently. It is very quiet most of the time, and will be mostly open during the summer. I have a private bathroom, the cats are free to roam wherever. I have a large stainless steel litter box, water bowl, dry and wet food, treats, toys, hideouts, etc. I can also travel to others’ homes.
About: Currently I’m a vet student at WSU! I’ve just wrapped up my first year of vet school. My ultimate goal is to go into large animal medicine. I have lived with cats my entire life and have worked with dogs throughout high school and into college. I am currently fitting in part time animal care into my daily routine. It is something I enjoy doing and is an activity I enjoy making time for. In a clients home I would be ready and willing to feed pets and let pets outside. I would also be willing to play with pets and take them on walks.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10. I have cared for a blind senior cat as well as a cat with hip problems, which required patience, close monitoring, and adapting the environment to keep them safe and comfortable. I currently help care for my friend’s senior dog, who also has hip and dental issues, so I’m familiar with administering gentle support, maintaining comfort, and being attentive to mobility limitations and pain cues. In addition, I have experience caring for younger animals, including kittens and puppies around 12 weeks old. This has given me practice with high-energy care, feeding routines, supervision, and basic early-life behavior management. Overall, I’m comfortable working with both senior pets and young animals, and I adjust my care style based on each pet’s specific health, energy level, and personality needs. Pet care fits into my routine pretty easily because I currently have a part-time job with a very variable schedule. Since my shifts change from week to week, I’m generally flexible and available most days with some notice. This flexibility allows me to adjust around pet care responsibilities like feeding, walks, check-ins, or overnight stays when needed. I’m also used to planning my time in a way that ensures animals are consistently cared for, even on busier days, so I can reliably fit pet care into my weekly schedule. In my home, I would make sure any pet is cared for in a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment. While my apartment doesn’t have a backyard, there is a fenced-in area nearby where dogs can run, play fetch, and get exercise. I also have a car, so if the owner is comfortable with it, I can take the dogs to a dog park for additional enrichment and activity. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions are followed closely. I’m also very mindful of respecting the home itself. I was raised to always leave a place cleaner than I found it, so I make sure everything is kept tidy, organized, and exactly as I found it. Communication is also important to me, so I always update owners and let them know right away if anything seems off or if there are any concerns about their pet’s health, behavior, or well-being.
“Emma was amazing with my cats. She was very patient with one of my cats who gets scared around strangers, and got him to warm upto her within couple of days. She was gracious enough to run over to my place outside of the booking time when I noticed on camera that my cats knocked over a water bowl to make sure they are fine and have enough water. I will definitely rebook with her.”
“Rebeca is FABULOUS. I traveled to Mexico for spring break right as Covid was taking hold and she was extremely understanding when I almost got stuck there. She went above and beyond for my cat and my snake and made sure they were both happy and healthy in my absence. Highly recommended, friendly and flexible.”
About: I’ve had pets (and farm animals) my entire life. I love seeing the connection found between myself and animals. Currently, one of my favorite places to be is the dog park, watching my own dog play and explore with other dogs. I work a routine M-F job but do have some flexibility to work remotely as needed. I’m able to adjust to the needs of your pet and situation! At my house, I have one dog who loves making new friends. When visiting other houses, I only take her if she is welcome and if the other pets are comfortable. I will do whatever is best for YOUR pet when it comes to their care and treat them as if they are my own.
About: I have house sat many people’s dogs, staying in their homes full-time or just a few daily visits for a week at a time. I will be in town for the next year. I am a recent WSU graduate who loves cats and dogs. I have lots of availability throughout the week at various hours of the day while I figure out my future in Pullman! I have fed dogs, walked them twice a day, played with them, and slept with them in client’s homes. I have stayed with dogs during holidays with fireworks and provided a safe environment for them to relax.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life! My old dog had diabetes so I am comfortable with administering medication for animals. I am very flexible with my time and hours as well so please reach out! I have a part time job on the weekdays that gets out after 10 as well as school, but my weekends are free so I am always able to dog sit Friday-Sunday! I will follow any bounties and rules for my clients home to a T and will make your animals my first priority! I want to create a safe and loving environment for your animals while I am taking care of them!
