House Sitting in Steptoe

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 11. From my dog, to my family member's dogs, I've taken them on walks, given medication through pill pockets, fed them, brushed them, played with them, and given them all the love and attention they could ever want! I'm working part time, so I can give as much attention as possible to your pets! I'll be constantly in the area, so no need to worry about your pet being alone for too long. I’ll take the fur baby (or babies) on walks, play with them, love on them, and everything in between! Any need they could have, I can meet.

About: I have been around animals since I was born, and wanted to be a veterinarian ever since I was three! I now attend WSU and am in my first year of veterinary school! I have worked with several different types of animals, ranging from mice and rats to horses. I currently have 3 of my own cats and two foster mice through a rescue in Pullman! I have a dog back at home in Tacoma too. If you need simple drop ins, pet sitting, or dog walks, I am here for you! I usually have classes from 1-5 PM, then work for a couple hours after that. I can usually stop by on weekends, late nights, or mornings/ early afternoons to take care of your pet! I will regularly check on the well-being of the animal. Not only will your pet be fed and taken out regularly, but any mess that we might make will be cleaned up better than we found it!

“We were very nervous using Rover, but Erica put our mind at ease. She took great care of our house and two dogs. We got pictures of everything and she was great about coming before hand so I could meet her.”

About: I've had animals all my life. I'm here to relieve the stress of juggling your job, travel and the love for your companion!🐯🦁 I also have farm animal experience. I am semi empty nester looking for a little more on my "to do" list. I work but can make my own schedule for drop ins or house sitting I'm older then most Rover sitters. Established home and life in Pullman but able to travel and stay in nearby towns. Taking care of your pet is top priority in my home or yours. I'd care for yours as I care for mine. With your terms in mind.

“We’ve had the pleasure to have Hannah look after our pack of dogs several times. The dogs love her and are always happy to see her. She stays at the house and is always conscientious and caring. In fact, she is caring for our 3 dogs this weekend too!”

“Mango is the only one we, me and my little dog, can trust here. My dog is on medication and she took care of him so well. My little one loves her so much and she always treated him so well and sent him with some treats and gifts. I even feel jealous when my dog got excited to see her and forgot we were going to be separated!! Will definitely send him to her anytime we need!”

“Anna Lee was amazing to work with. Our dog loved her and she made sure to keep us in the loop at all times. Will be sure to try and book with her in the future.”

About: I was born and raised on a farm so I have raised many different kinds of livestock and house pets. Animal care is one of my favorite things about living on the farm and I will treat your furry family members as one of my own. I am currently working a 4 days a week, 10 hours a day. I am able to get away during the work day for about an hour, so in that time I can come and let your pet out to potty or give them more food. On the days I am not working, I am completely free to be with your pet for as long as you need me. I will vary my care based on the situation you have at your home and on your pets temperment (ex. going to the park, walking on the sidewalk, or sticking to the yard).

“We had a great experience with Lauren. She bravely took on a job no one else seemed to want, which was house-sitting and dog-sitting for two 6 month old puppies who are not yet house-trained. Housebreaking chihuahua puppies is a lot of work. (We're still working on it...), so this job required an extra dose of patience and diligence. Lauren sent us updates and photos of the puppies while we were away. She also kept our large selection of house plants alive, which is another job unto itself. I can't recommend Lauren highly enough, Anyone who gets Lauren to house or dog-sit is very lucky! We hope to hire her again next time we travel. She is trustworthy and responsible, and our pups love her too.”

About: I’ve always had animals in my life and genuinely love the personalities that come with each one. I grew up with family dogs and still have my little guy, Poppy. He can be quite anxious at times and occasionally needs medication, so I understand how important patience, routine, and reassurance are for pets who need a little extra care and attention. While Poppy is small, I’ve spent plenty of time around much larger family dogs as well (some big enough that if they decided to sit on me, I wasn’t going anywhere). Because of that, I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m also happy caring for senior pets, puppies, and kittens. If a pet needs medication, that’s something I’m comfortable helping with as long as instructions are clear. Beyond dogs, I’ve also cared for aquariums with fish, snails, and shrimp after a professor trusted me to take over part of his collection. I’ve been trusted by friends to care for their family homes and pets while they were away, including looking after cats, watering gardens, and tending to bonsai trees. A friend who used to dog sit regularly would often send repeat dogs my way because she knew they’d be well cared for. When it comes to pets, I love meeting them where they are. My own dog might be a cuddly old man most of the time, but when he suddenly gets the zoomies, I’m right there chasing him through the house. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to do whatever helps them feel comfortable and loved while their owner is away. I work fully remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time at home with pets and keep their routines consistent. One thing I especially enjoy is sending photo updates. When my family once traveled, our sitter sent us a photo of our dog happily sitting in a pile of laundry, and for some reason it stuck with me. It was such a small moment, but it made us feel like he was safe, relaxed, and loved even while we were far away. That’s exactly the kind of reassurance I like to give to pet owners when they’re away. As a fully remote worker, I have the flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine with ease. I enjoy taking breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. Because I’m home most of the time, I'm able to keep routines consistent while you're away, allowing me to provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment. I care for every pet according to their individual needs and their owner's instructions. In my client's home, I focus on maintaining the pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, exercise, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure the home stays tidy and secure while providing regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I prioritize safety, consistency, and positive interactions, taking the time to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and any special requirements. My goal is to help pets feel comfortable, happy, and stress-free while their owners are away.

“Lisa was great, she communicated regularly. When I came home my home and pet were in great condition. I will definitely ask Lisa to watch my pets in the future.”

“Kailie took such great care of our animals that they were hardly even excited to see us when we came home! Our dog, Sammie, definitely bonded with Kailie and is over-the-moon when she comes over. Thanks for taking such great care of our furry friends!”

About: I worked in dog grooming for a decade, and I do miss the dogs, often. I will be happy to help regardless of breed or size. I have open availability in my schedule. I work with many different service partners, and can easily adjust my schedule, with proper notice, of course. Dogs will be played with, of course! I will run them, depending on age and whether they like that. Feed them, walk them. Cats will get nozzles and pets

About: I have particular experience with pets that have medical needs, from pills and eye drops to suppositories and mid-seizure intervention. Lots of money gets spent caring for pets and my care reflects that. It’s that time of year in which free time is abundant! For now, pet care is the centerpiece of my schedule / routine. Anything else can be scheduled around it. The key thing here to me is to focus intently on how the owners / pet parents have already succeeded thus far and to maintain as much consistency from their pet’s perspective as I reasonably can.

About: I have over 5 years of experience taking care of all sorts and sizes of dogs, as well as cats. I always make sure the animals I take care of have the best possible environment to ensure a happy and healthy result. :) I’m currently planning on doing this full time until I find a new part-time job. I will continue to do petsitting on the side regardless. It’s my passion so it is my priority. :) I will make sure your dog is safe in your home, since I only offer in clients home sitting. They will be well cared for and I will make sure they are looked out for and content. I want your dogs to be as happy as they can be!
