“Katelin was awesome! I had multiple travel changes and she was able to take care of my pets with out hesitation. I received multiple pictures of them having fun the whole time I was gone. Katelin watched the entire place and even was able to notice a broken sprinkler and shut down the system... 100% recommend her !!!!”

“Jamie and our dog got along from the first meet. While we were gone she kept us updated about our cat and dog. She is a great communicator and we felt good about leaving our pets and house in her care. I would definitely want her next time.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets But they all know that I won’t have another animal come to my house I’m currently working from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm and I get an hour lunch around 12 but I can always do anything after or before work to help you out!🩷 How I care for a pet when there parents are gone is to make sure they get lots of love and making sure they don’t look so sad and make them run

I take care of my pets by feeding morning and night also checking water and looking over them making sure they didn’t get hurt when I was gone I would do the same for a client pet.
About: Hi! I'm Dakota, and I've been around animals my entire life. From schnauzers and springer spaniels to Rottweilers and labs, I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I truly believe pets are family, and I love getting to know each animal's unique quirks and needs. I'm a dependable, punctual person who values honesty and communication. I understand that life happens and not everything is within our control. Whether schedules change unexpectedly or your pet needs a little extra patience and understanding, I'll always do my best to work with you and provide compassionate care. I have two energetic kids, a Russell Terrier, and a playful Labrador of my own, so caring for animals is simply part of my everyday life. I start each day with walks, feedings, potty breaks, and plenty of pet care, and I end my days the same way. Making sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for is second nature to me. As a full-time online student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate drop-in visits, walks, and quality one-on-one attention for your furry family members. I have a small fenced backyard that's perfect for supervised playtime and games of fetch. I also prioritize safety by avoiding outdoor activities during extreme temperatures and always following your pet's feeding schedules and care routines. My goal is simple: to care for your pets the same way I care for my own.. with patience, kindness, consistency, and lots of love. I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your animals, and I would be honored to be that person for your family. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I have two rambunctious kids, a Russell Terrier, and a Labrador of my own, so I understand that life with pets can be both busy and rewarding. I'm currently a full-time online student, and aside from my regular household responsibilities, I have a very flexible schedule. Checking in on fur babies is easy to accommodate and truly one of my favorite parts of the day. I love providing pets with the attention, care, and companionship they deserve while giving their owners peace of mind. I have a small, fully fenced backyard that provides a safe space for supervised outdoor play and games of fetch. My Labrador is very playful and loves having a canine companion to run around with! While my yard isn't large, it's plenty of space for exercise, enrichment, and fun. Your pet's safety and routine are always my top priorities. I closely follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, and outdoor time. Walks are also an important part of a dog's day, weather permitting, and I always check pavement temperatures to ensure it's safe for sensitive paws before heading out.
“I would leave Tucker with Dean and Bethanie in a heartbeat again. How nice to know he was so loved and well taken care of. Loved all the videos and pictures. I think Tucker had more fun than I did!!”

“Kirk did a fabulous job taking care of our kitty Kiwi and our old dog Ally. They were very happy and content when we arrived home! He was great sending videos , pictures and just a great communicator! High recommend him!”

About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets and have always enjoyed being around animals. I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s routine closely and treat them like they are my own. I am comfortable caring for pets of all sizes and personalities, including those that need extra patience or attention. I also have experience following specific care instructions such as feeding schedules, medication, and daily routines. I just graduated from Washington State University with my BA in Elementary Education and have dedicated my summer in completing my Masters in Education online. Which means I am VERY flexible with any hours needed for walks and checkups :) What sets me apart is how much I care about each animal’s comfort and happiness. I am willing to follow any instructions, no matter how specific, because I know every pet is different. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while you are away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they are in good hands. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I recently graduated from Washington State University with my Bachelors in Elementary Education. This summer is dedicated to obtaining my Masters Online, so I do not have any huge responsibilities to worry about. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, trust, and following the owner’s instructions exactly as provided. I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level, so I make sure to stick closely to their normal schedule for feeding, walks, medication, and any other specific needs. I treat every home with respect and make sure it is left clean and as it was found. I also keep communication open by providing updates and photos so owners feel comfortable and informed while they are away. My goal is to create a calm and safe environment for each pet, making sure they feel secure and cared for in their own space. I pay close attention to behavior and needs, especially for pets that may require extra patience or care, and I always make their well-being my top priority.

I work 3 12s but I am able to stop in the check on the fur babies on my lunches. I also am very flexible with times I need to go take care of them on my days off as well. I have two kitties of my own. I don’t plan on being able to board pets at my own home due to me renting a house without a fenced backyard.

About: I’ve cared for many pets throughout my life including the 6 i've had the pleasure of help raising and learned hands-on responsibility, plus guidance from my cousin who is a vet tech ensures attentive care. I do school online so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, with dedicated time for morning and evening visits, walks, feeding, and play, while maintaining flexibility for additional needs. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In client’s home, I follow their established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications, while keeping their environment clean and stress-free. I make sure pets get plenty of love, attention, affection, and exercise, and I send regular updates for peace of mind. If caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, calm space with consistent routines, supervision, and lots of love to help them feel comfortable and secure.

About: I do charge a little more as I teach the dog to walk on a leash. Teaching the dog to heel correct is very important. It changes the dogs mind from hunting to following. I have 3 dogs and work at a Pet store that I help train dogs. I can come to your house or mine. I can work on leash pulling kennel training or something fun like Fetch. I do agility on walks and stop at all corners. dogs learn to sit and down also no jumping upon people is learned. I have references available upon request. I look forward to working with you and your pet.
About: I have had years of experience caring for childhood pets, including a litters of puppies to caring for my own senior dog. I am comfortable and confident in administering medications and making special accommodations to any pets that need extra care, such as specific feeding or walking instructions. Im soon to be working full time, so weekends will be when I'm most available any time between 6am to 5pm I will be available. I understand the anxiety that can come with finding a sitter, especially one you feel will take and implement special care and attention to your beloved furry family member. My goal is to help alleviate that worry by providing thorough, reliable and consistent communication with you, while also giving your pet all the warm attention and care they deserve and you expect.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, I’ve house sat/ dog watched for my grand parents and a few of my mothers friends on multiple occasions, I’m great at what I do! I have a Pit/Black Lab mix, he’s almost 3 years old now, so pet care has been my everyday life for 3 years now! I spent a lot of time training him. In my own home the dogs are treated like how I would treat my own dog (unless there are specific instructions left by the owner) but basically they’ll get a lot of outside time because I’m constantly in and out of the house working on projects, the minute I come inside the dogs come inside with me. They get alot of love and attention!
