About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I love all animals and treat them all as if they were my own! I currently do not work-so my schedule is wide open and flexible to take care of all of your pets needs. I am open to walking, dog sitting and more! I have a dog to keep your fur baby company of staying in my home. I do not have a fenced yard but like to go for walks, and in park adventures.
“Teri is wonderful! Great communication and lots of photos of dogs having fun! My dog adores her and gets so excited to visit. When I pick her up, she just naps in the back seat because she's so tired from playing all day.”
“Georgia was amazing with my dog! She was excellent with communication and easy to work with and very flexible with my schedule. I highly would recommend her. She treated my dog like family and took great care of him.”
“Jennifer and David are very accommodating and caring. Our dog Bodhi was a little anxious that night (not his normal self) and they gave him the attention he needed.”
“Hannah is THE BEST! She has been my life saver for the past several weeks when I am working long days. She comes and gets my pups and keeps them entertained all day. They were less than excited to make new friends but Hannah is so sweet with them and they are growing to love and trust her. It's also so nice knowing they are getting socialized and getting exercise so when I am off work I don't have to wear them out. I so so so highly recommend her!”
“Travis and his wife are awesome. They were extremely flexible and kept us informed with texts & pictures of how Lula was doing. Their beautiful home and fenced yard were a plus. We would definitely recommend and use Travis again for our next stay to CDA area.”
“Cheryl was very sweet and caring with my puppy. She was also flexible with me on my work schedule. My dog got along well with hers; she came home tuckered out every night because she played so hard and had so much fun! Would definitely recommend! :)”

“Velma was wonderful! We were going to be in town for the weekend and needed a place for our pup one of the days. Velma was willing to video chat in order to have a “face to face” prior to setting the booking, since we are not in her local area. She was flexible as our schedule changed and was able to accommodate the change. She was great with our senior dog, and she really seems to care and enjoy her furry guests! We hope to be able to utilize her services again!”
“Mimi and her family took such wonderful care of our Velzy girl! From the moment we met I felt at ease and so did our pup. Velzy had the best time with Chester and they got along great!Lovely home with the best backyard. We will MOST DEFINITELY be booking again and again and again. Highly recommended! Thank you Mimi + fam!!! 🧡”
“Robin had a great house setup for our puppy to come and play. Her yard.was fully fenced, with two different areas, and her dogs were so kind. My puppy really enjoyed playing with her dogs and using their beds for some serious energy recharging. I would highly recommend Robin to care for your pets, I know we will use her again if we are.in the area.”
“Yana and her daughters were great with Puppet. Yana was very responsive to texts, and asked a lot of good questions beforehand to be prepared for Puppet's arrival. Dropoff and pickup were easy as Yana was waiting for me outside of her house and ready to go. I will definitely choose Yana again if my dog needs care!”
“I had an exceptional experience with Amanda and Justin. My wife and I were visiting Spokane for three days during a heatwave, and needed daycare for Casey. They did a terrific job, especially introducing Casey to their larger dogs and communicating via text and the Rover app. We felt completely comfortable leaving Casey in their very capable hands.”
“Stitch had a great time with Jony and she remained flexible and available with my work schedule. Stitch got lots of attention and exercise. Will definitely book Jony again in the future.”
“Wow! I am so happy for my pups that they got to spend their day with Patricia while I was at a wedding. It was such a good day for them. They got to play, run, wrestle, go to dog park 2x, sleep, eat, wake-up and do it all again, and again. Patricia also took 20 pictures for me to see them throughout the day. I’m also happy she got to be with them. I look forward to when they can spend their day with her again. Thank-you soooo much! 🙂Kari”
