About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 and have experience with all different kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities. Currently my family owns two huskies, a German Shepherd/Border Collie Mix, and a German Shepherd/Pit Mix! Beyond my own pups, I regularly dog sit for six amazing families and truly treat each pet like they’re part of my own pack. I’ve also had the joy of caring for horses, cows, goats, and chickens, so I’m very comfortable around all types of animals and their unique needs. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for! I’m starting a fully online master’s program in social work, which means I’ll have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a clients home, my top priority is making sure that your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved in their own space. I follow your care instructions closely and do my best to keep their daily routine consistent to reduce stress. I also respect your home as if it was my own- cleaning up after myself (and your pet!), keeping things tidy and making sure your pets feels at easy while you’re gone. I always send regular updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing and have peace of mind.

About: I've worked with many kinds of animals, from your usual cats and dogs, to less usual like snakes and chickens, to off the rocker usual like a buffalo. I've also babysat many kids over the past 10 years. I've also cared for elderly for almost a year, and I've watched many different animals since I got my first cat. I work part time, so I have a lot of free time for pet care and play. Most of my weeks are free, I'm only not available for one day every four days. I do out of home sitting, so I can take your pet on walks, feed, play with them, or just keep them company and out of trouble. Special instructions are easy for me to follow!

“Chelsie was absolutely wonderful w my puppy, Archer. She was super friendly, trustworthy, kept well-informed updates, and oh so willing to help out with any messes! I’m sure your pet will love her as much as Archer does!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and demeanors since I was a young kid and to this day friends and family rely on me to care for their pets when they’re out of town. There’s little that phases me and I’m good at adapting to a pet’s needs. I’m also good with plants! I work as a newspaper reporter in downtown Centralia and have a flexible schedule, so it’s easy for me to slip out of the office when needed and check in on your pet. My 11-year-old cat and I share a studio apartment with a fenced outdoor “catio” for enrichment. When caring for your pet in your home, I will carefully respect your property and ensure that everything is clean and in place when you return.

About: Animals are our passion, and we’ve built a life around caring for them. With over 20 years of combined experience caring for animals, we’ve looked after dogs and cats of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra love and attention. We also have extensive experience with reptiles, small animals, and pets with medical needs. Our home is full of love (and fur)! Our oldest dog is 13, and our youngest is nearly 1, so we’re familiar with a wide range of behaviors, energy levels, and care requirements. Melissa previously worked as a vet tech in training, so we’re also fully comfortable administering medications and understanding medical instructions. I’m a U.S. Army veteran, and my military background has helped shape me into someone who’s dependable, organized, and calm under pressure. I bring those qualities into every pet sitting job, aiming to keep your pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away. Whether your pet needs early-morning walks, medication, or just someone to stick to their routine—I’m here to help. We’re currently available any time, any day—including holidays and last-minute bookings. Our schedule is 100% flexible, so we can easily accommodate your pet’s unique routine. Need early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or overnight stays? We’ve got you covered. When caring for pets in your home or on their usual walking routes, safety and trust are always top priorities. We take the time to understand your pet’s environment, routines, and needs—whether it’s a quiet walk through the neighborhood or special instructions for your home while you’re away. We’re respectful of your space and treat your home with care and professionalism. You can count on us to follow your instructions closely, lock up securely, and maintain a clean, safe environment for your pets. During walks, we stick to routes your dog is familiar with (unless instructed otherwise) and always keep them leashed and under control. We’re alert to potential hazards like traffic, other dogs, or wildlife and will adjust as needed to keep your pet safe and calm. Communication is key—we’ll keep you updated and will always reach out if anything seems off or needs attention.

About: I have lived with many different animals my whole life and have taken care of more than just my own. I have cared for friends', previous roommates' and family members' animals. Each one has quickly found me to be like a secondary owner. Of all the animals that I've cared for (birds, cats, dogs, rats, ferrets, and more) i found that I like cats, dogs, and ferrets to be the most fun and rewarding. Though I love all animals! I even make it a habit to feed and play with stray animals. I wish to bring them all home, but my apartment doesn't allow pets. Allow me to care for your pets while you're away and I'll make sure that they are happy and healthy while they await your return home. I'm currently pregnant so I'm taking some time to myself. Meaning I'm free all day every day. I'm more or a night owl, but will care for your animal whenever needed. I am very literal and follow orders to the letter. I will never do anything that you the owner haven't said is OK or not. If I have any questions I will not hesitate to contact you. The person who knows more about their animal is you the owner, so I will look to you for guidance. Want to make sure that each and every animal receives the same treatment that you give!

About: Hi! I’m a paraeducator who works at a local school, so I have summers off and I can’t think of a better way to spend that time than caring for dogs! I’ve always been an animal lover, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup needs playtime, snuggles, walks, or just a calm and caring presence while you’re away, I’m here to help! ☺️ My schedule is pretty open during the Summer besides spending every other weekend with friends and family. Once I go back to work in September, I will only be able to house sit as long as it is in reasonable distance from my workplace. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or favorite toys and treats. I know every pet is different, so I pay attention to their personality and comfort level, whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed. I will also make sure to keep the home clean and secure while you’re away. I’ll give updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is always to treat your home and your pet with the same respect and love I would want for my own.
