Cat Sitting in Potlatch

About: I've been a dog mom for 18 years. My dogs have provided me with companionship, loyalty, joy, structure, and unconditional love over the years. My first dog, Angel, was a Beauceron mix with a blue tongue. She was my best friend, my protector, my shadow. I loved her fiercely. She went over the rainbow bridge three years ago at the age of 14. About a year before she passed, our Kai Ken/Mudi mix, Cody Coyote, joined the family as her companion. This past summer, Corgi pup, Michael, moved in. My son's first official dog. We take regular walks together and they are always making us smile and laugh. I know how special pup companions are and I would love to help you care for yours. Daily walks with my pups are very important for me and for them. I need the movement, and they need to smell. On the weekend, I have more time to walk more pups, check on them, give potty breaks, or feed them. My pups have a fenced in yard and are able to take regular potty breaks every two to four hours. We take walks after I get off work. My pups eat breakfast before I work and eat dinner when my family does. I am available on weekends to give your pup/s potty breaks every two to four hours, up to three walks a day, and feeding in your home.

“Grace and her mom checked on our cats while we were gone for two weeks. Felt very comfortable with them, and they had great communication. Would recommend them and will hopefully be rebooking with them in the future.”

“Chelsea was so great! She sent lots of little updates on how the cats were doing, even though the cats themselves decided to hide every time she came back over. I could tell they had both been really well cared for, and they were happy and right back to themselves when I got home, so I know they weren't stressed about me being gone with her coming by to check on them. Thank you!!”

About: I’ve almost always had a dog and/or cat(s) in my home. I’ve been the primary caregiver for my current dog for over 8 years now. She is a highly anxious dog who has to have pills medication twice daily for years now. So I’m very comfortable with administering pills to dogs. I’m most familiar with anxious dogs and they almost always calm down relatively quickly to my gentle grounded nature. I enjoy seeing how happy a simple walk or hike can give a dog and love to give them many opportunities to do so. I have several years experience with pet/house sitting for neighbors and friends. My discipline style = positive reinforcement and gentle but firm reminders. Redirecting their attention typically works wonders. My schedule is currently open to new clients. Let’s chat and see if what you need aligns with what I have to offer at the current moment. Safety is my first priority so I take instructions from you very seriously. You let me know what the rules and constraints are for your home and fur-baby, I will follow them carefully. Tell me what your fur-baby needs and I’ll make sure it gets done.

“Willow was such an excellent sitter for my dog. She sent plenty of updates and really made us feel comfortable being away from our pup. I couldn’t have been happier with her service and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”

I have also worked in a vet clinic and have experience with caring, treating, and maintaining a calm and comforting atmosphere to keep animals happy. My most recent job position of two years at a doggy daycare and boarding facility as a senior monitor. I learned canine behavior in longevity by taking care of 40+ dogs a day. This position has allowed me to put my knowledge and experience in my every day life and I couldn't be more thankful. I currently have a part-time job, so I will have plenty of time caring for your fur baby. I am flexible with working out schedules and prefer clear communication so there is no mix-up. I am happy to talk about times that work for you and your pet! I strive to always make sure that your animal is safe and comfortable in whichever environment we are in whether that be a drop-in visit or on our walks. I carry an extra leash if there may be an instance of one breaking, as well as extra water in case your animal is thirsty.

“This was my first time using Rover but Vanessa and Eulalia made it easy. Even though neither of my shy cats showed themselves, they seemed noticeably less anxious when I got home compared to other times I've traveled and had a friend watch them. I will be a repeat customer!”

About: I am a Registered Nurse and a daughter of a Veterinarian. As a young girl I would help my dad on farm calls so have been exposed to all types of animals since a young age. I am athletic and love being outside exploring hikes and trails, especially with a furry friend. I am able to help assist with dog walks, drop in visits, doggy day-care, boarding, medicating, feeding and bathing. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and look forward to helping with your dogs needs! I work full time as a RN but looking to help care for furry friends on my days off. I am available all hours of the day on my available days. I do not have a fenced in yard but have area to walk your pet unless you prefer your home. I have a cat and hyper puppy of my own. I can accommodate to your pets needs and treat them like my own.

About: I have had pets in the family since I was 9 years old, including cats, dogs, hamsters, birds, rats, tarantulas, and fish. I have been a pet sitter for many years while folks have been gone for months at a time, requiring me to live at their residence. I worked with puppies, sick dogs, multiple dogs, bottle fed baby yaks (yes really), and am extremely clean and reliable. I am currently employed part time and have lots of availability as long as pet owners are aware that I could be gone upwards of 8 hours. I am looking for reliable and dependable clients that need long term help. Having a routine is not only good for me, but it is also good for your pet. I provide in home sitting only as I live with my parents and they have their own pets. I am working and have a lot of free time. I hope to find a job working from home and am looking for a new house with a fenced yard! I have a very energetic cattle dog that can be included in playtime. My partner loves all animals and we spend a lot of time with all of our animals.

About: I have cared for my own dogs since I was a child, and have spent time petsitting for neighbors and friends as well. I worked at a dog daycare for a year, which I loved. I'm not working right now so I have time on my hands to care for your dogs! I am not available on weekends or on Wednesday evenings as I have class. When I house sit for you I am able to do whatever it is your dog is used to, whether it's playing with toys, going on walks or running in the yard, I'll be sure to give your pet what they need at all times.
