Dog Walking Richlands

About: With over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, I provide dependable, loving, and personalized care that pets and owners can trust. My background includes caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, puppies, senior pets, high-energy breeds, and pets with unique routines or special needs. Growing up around animals and spending years working closely with them has taught me how to read pet behavior, create a calm environment, and build trust quickly. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the genuine connection I create with every animal. I treat each pet like family not just another appointment. I focus on safety, reliability, communication, and making sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication administration, or overnight care, I go above and beyond to give owners peace of mind and pets the attention they deserve. Full weekend availability Saturday and Sunday with part time availability early in the mornings and after 4 pm- throughout the night during the week days I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment where pets are treated like part of the family. In my home, pets receive constant supervision, structured routines, plenty of playtime, exercise, and individualized attention based on their personality and needs. Safety is always my top priority I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space, closely monitor interactions, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so owners always feel informed and comfortable while away. As a pet owner myself with a friendly golden retriever puppy, I understand the importance of trust, patience, and proper care. My puppy is well-socialized and helps create a fun, welcoming environment for visiting pets while still respecting each animal’s comfort level and boundaries. With over 10 years of hands-on pet experience, I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and someone pet owners can truly count on for peace of mind.

“Such an amazing person. Took care of my baby perfectly an was amazing at communicating with me.”

About: I currently have 3 rescued cats and 2 rescued dogs. I grew up in a neighborhood where everyone had animals and one even had farm animals. I never really got to help with the farm animals but when neighbors went on vacation I would care for their cats, dogs, guinea pigs, bunnies, and even hedgehogs. I cared for animals of all ages! I currently do spark which is Walmart deliveries and am looking for something part time! I can do daily or weekly as needed. I can work with your schedule as needed but am unavailable till after 8:45am on the weekdays. I have cared for several peoples animals. I have experience playing with dogs and cats. I also have experience getting animals into a crate if needed.

“Jordan is awesome! I never have to worry about my dog when she’s scheduled for a walk. He’s immensely taken care of along with our cat, who she also pets and gives so much love to. Couldn’t ask for someone better!”

About: Hi! I am Christy! I’m married to Jefrey, and we have 3 lively, happy children who love dogs! We currently have no dogs ourselves but we have do have chickens in a coop. I’ve grown up with dogs and provide care for friends pets when they need. We love to provide people with trustworthy, loving care for their pets and know how important that is. I am comfortable with daily medication giving. Although I will be the only one responsible for caring for your pets, we do ask that all dogs be friendly with children and we make sure our children respect dog boundaries. We have a large 6ft privacy fence in the back yard with the front and sides of the fence being privacy fence, and the back part of the fence is chain link. The dogs will be free to go in and out throughout the day as they please. I recently had to leave my job to stay home and care for my children, so I have plenty of time to be home and take care of your pets while you are away! In the morning, we would get up and let the dogs outside to go potty and get some fresh morning air. They will have plenty of opportunity for cuddles or playtime throughout the day, and will be able to go in and out as they please. I have three children who love animals. All dogs must be child friendly, and I will make sure that my children are respectful of the dog's boundaries. We have a fenced in back yard and plenty of space for them to run and play.

“Elizabeth communicated very well and stayed in touch throughout the visit/walk. She was patient and understanding with my dog. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors who trusted me with their furry family members. In addition to years of hands-on experience, I also spent 4 years working in the veterinary field as a veterinary assistant/technician, giving me the knowledge and confidence to care for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. Additionally I have fostered for local rescues, litters of puppies to senior pups, all with individual needs. Whether your pet needs extra patience, medication administration, senior support, or just lots of love and attention, I’m committed to providing safe, compassionate, and reliable care every step of the way. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time for lots of snuggles and walks. I am able to stop by for quick check-ins or stay for a few hours to get those afternoon zoomies out. I have experience with dogs and cats of all temperaments and breeds, allowing me to calmly and comfortably crate, medicate or walk pets. Having the knowledge and hands-on experience allows me to stay calm in any situation which helps your pets feel safe.

“We needed someone to walk our GSD at lunchtime for us. My daughter suggested using the Rover app. We were so lucky to have found Chloe! Hey and my fur baby hit it right off. Chloe is absolutely wonderful! Very prompt and great communication ! We appreciate all she does for us and our Jameson, we asked her to dog sit as well. She loves our fur baby and she loves her too! Thank you Chloe!!!”

About: Hello everyone! My name is Ashley. I have been around dogs and cats and owned and taken care of them my whole life. I have also cared for horses, fish, geckos, turtles, and birds. I’m a huge animal lover and I have a dog who is my whole world. I will make sure your fur babies have the best care and love since I myself am a fur mom and serious about my dog and his safety and well being, as well as your pets. I will make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and that they get plenty of food, water, exercise, bathroom breaks and snuggles. I will keep you updated on how they are doing and send pictures if you would like, so you don't have to worry while being away. I know leaving your pets in a new environment can be a stressful time and I want to make sure you feel at ease while being away from them. I would love to meet and go over your pets needs and set up a plan of care that works best for you. Please feel free to message me with any questions and I look forward to hearing from you. :) I pet sit throughout the week and can on some weekends and holidays take care of your pet and their needs. I have a routine for feeding and bathroom breaks during the day. I may have other clients and could potentially have to leave occasionally to do walks or drop in visits during the day if staying at your home, or may be able to stay full time as well. I would inform you before if that is the case. I will make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I can leave tv on when away if they need. I will let them sleep with me if they are allowed on the bed and find that more comfortable.

“Great with my pup who can be a handful. I got tons of updates and pictures as well.”

About: I have taken care of all types of dogs for about 6 years. I have a dog of my own she is a handful but my whole world 🥹. I would love to be of help to anyone I can. I work part time at a grocery store. I mainly work nights so I get off anywhere between 9 and 11pm. So when trying to schedule check ins I would recommend scheduling the first check in later in the morning so there is less time in between each check in. I have a fenced in yard it’s fairly large enough room to run and play. If needed I feel confident in my abilities to safely get your dog in a crate

About: I have 4 years of pet sitting. Professional experience as a kennel lead at a dog daycare/boarding facility, an animal Rescue Specialist & an Animal Care Specialist at a shelter. Besides taking care of my own animals on a daily basis, I also have 3 years of professional animal experience. I do not take on multiple jobs at a time so that I can properly provide care. I am able to work weekends and overnights upon request. Prices are negotiable! Along with letting dogs outside for potty breaks and play time, I can also pick up dog poop upon request. Typically if I care for your animals for more than a few days, I will ask what day your trash is collected and put it outside. I collect mail from mailboxes so it doesn’t pile up, clean floors and tidy up, wash food and water bowls and can wash bedding if I need to stay the night. Let me know if your animals need to be caged when left alone, if they have any medications, how much they eat and at what time of day.

“Laura is amazing with my pooches! Could not recommend more highly!!!!!!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and understand the responsibility that comes with earning a dog’s trust. Daily walks, exercise, playtime, feeding, and learning each dog’s unique personality have become part of everyday life for me. While I’m new to Rover, I’m committed to providing dependable, energetic, and personalized care for every dog I meet. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they get the exercise and attention they deserve. I’m currently available for dog walks between 8:00 AM and 2:00 PM most days. But I’m open to negotiate times as needed! Whether your dog needs a quick walk, a longer adventure, or a run to burn off extra energy, I’m happy to customize every outing based on your dog’s age, fitness level, and your preferences! Your dog’s safety is always my first priority. Before every walk, I’ll make sure collars, harnesses, and leashes are secure. I’ll pay close attention to your dog’s comfort, energy level, and the weather, making sure they always have opportunities to rest and hydrate when needed. I believe every dog deserves patience, encouragement, and plenty of positive interaction. Whether your pup is energetic and adventurous or calm and curious, I’ll make sure they have a safe, enjoyable experience from start to finish. You’ll also receive photo updates after every walk because I know how much owners love seeing their best friend having fun.

“April is awesome. She was easy to communicate with and asked a lot of valid questions in order to provide our dogs with the best care. The dogs enjoyed her company and she gave us peace of mind while we were away.”

About: Hey there, I'm Joyce and I've been taking care of my neighbors and friends animals for most of my life (25+ years). I am partial to dogs, but guess who can change a litter box too? Me! I also love cats and other critters. I also use Rover when I'm out of town, so I know what it's like. I hold high standards for myself and the care of your pet(s). Your pet will be treated like my own (I have 3), with respect and a lot of love! I'm looking for occasional work as I transition into a new career. I love animals , the outdoors, and a good walk! (I have limited availability on the weekends, please inquire and we may be able to make it work!) Overnight stays: I will try to spend as much time at your house as you want me to, but I may have a few errands to run during the day and make sure my own dogs stretch their legs too. In your home, I'm a well-mannered guest. I don't have to stay in your home if you don't need me to. Your animals will be treated with respect.

About: I grew up with dogs from Shih-tzus to Rottweilers, puppy to senior, even one with pancreatitis! Your pet will be cared for with much love! I am currently working part-time and about to start online college classes! I will be available all throughout the week unless I have to work! All pets will follow the daily routine you have set for them with just a little extra love and care. Anything to make them happy!

“Ella is great with our dog, replies quickly, and has taken on some of my last minute requests.”

About: What sets me apart is that I have experience caring for a variety of animals, not just dogs and cats. I currently care for 4 cats, 3 dogs, fish, a turtle, and a jumping spider, so I understand that every pet has different needs, routines, and personalities. I’m attentive to details and take the time to make sure each animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m especially patient with animals that may be nervous or take time to warm up to someone new. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, medication or care instructions, cleaning routines, and providing plenty of playtime, enrichment, and attention. My goal is to care for your pets the same way I would want someone to care for mine: with patience, responsibility, and lots of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for my own animals. I’m used to keeping consistent feeding and cleaning schedules, making time for play and attention, and paying close attention to changes in their behavior or needs. I enjoy being around animals and would be happy to make caring for your pets a regular part of my day while giving them the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. I care for pets by following their normal routines and paying close attention to their individual needs, personalities, and comfort levels. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or in their own home, I make sure they receive the appropriate feeding, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and attention they’re used to. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions for feeding schedules, medications, cleaning, and other specific care needs. I also understand that some pets need time to warm up to someone new, so I’m patient and never force interaction. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away, while also respecting their home and keeping things clean and orderly.

About: Experienced & Trustworthy. Walks, Feeding, Playtime & Lots of Love. Medication Administration (if needed). Your pet will be cared for like family while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I am able to plan visits around consistent morning, afternoon, and evening routines. I’m flexible and can accommodate feeding times, walks, and check-ins as needed. I’m also available for weekends and can adjust for special requests. This allows me to provide reliable, consistent care while meeting each pet’s routine. Follow instructions and keep the pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and rest. Provide daily exercise, playtime, fresh water, and clean-up to maintain a healthy environment. Monitor the behavior and health, and give medication as directed if needed. Keep the home safe and clean, communicate updates to humans and provide attentive, loving care.
