“Accommodating and responsive! Min Hsiu did so well with Joey (my dog). She sent pictures, and followed Joey’s normal walking route. She is good at reading Joey’s body language and knowing what she needs. I will definitely be using her again!”

“Atzimba did such and amazing job!!! I can’t thank her enough for helping me last minute when I was left in a bad situation with my previous sitter. She’s timely and detailed. Sent pictures and a note every single day. She always responds quickly and is super respectful. She made my fur buddy comfortable and safe. I will continue to use her assistance in the future!! Thank you again!”

About: We have owned fur babies for the last 25 years, from dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, goats, as well as pet hamsters and rats. We've had the privilege of taking care of our cats and dogs almost 25 years. We have had them from puppyhood and kittenhood to their geriatric years (two dogs to age 16!). Currently we have three yellow labs; two that we adopted from my parents when they passed, they are, 4,4, and 9 years old. We have always had our dogs trained with the basic obedience commands and we only use encouraging words and actions to help them learn. Many of our animals were rescue pups. We also have dog friendly indoor/outdoor cats. I work part time at home as well as on call work when I am available. I am an early riser and can work as early as 5:30am and as late as 8pm. We offer in home care, to include drop off, doggy day care and pet sitting for dogs and cats. I would also be open to short term pet care in a clients home and I am especially interested in dog walking as well as field trips trail or park walking, and dog parks for dogs that enjoy it. I am also able to provide transportation to vet appointments.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. Ever since I was a kid it’s been a goal of mine to help and care for any animal in need. I’ve been taking care of my friends/family’s furry babies since I was 15. I can guarantee you that your furry friends will be safe with me! Pet care fits into my routine because I have an open schedule. I do have a job but I’ll make sure to tend to your pet as much as possible. I will make sure to make your pet as comfortable as possible and build a bond with them. I will care for them however I’m instructed to as well as keep your house just as you left it.

About: I've had animals my entire life and specifically love cats and dogs. They are the sweetest. Play time would be incredibly frequent and I'm very patient with dogs young and old. I will be available all days of the week except for the few that have been marked unavailable currently! Can't wait to meet your animal kiddos! I have always had a very deep connection with animals. I understand that your pets aren't just your pets, they are your babies and I intend to take great care of your babies! There is nothing more worrisome than leaving your animal in the care or a complete stranger but I assure you I will love and take care of them as if they were my own. Thank you for considering me to take care of your little furry family! Feel free to message me with any questions or concerns!

About: I have had animals my whole life, particularly cats and dogs. I am comfortable working with medium and large breed dogs, high energy pets, senior animals, or pets with medical needs. I have helped family and neighbors care for their fur babies and would love the opportunity to help others! I specialize in caring for senior/special needs pets. I had two cats with varying degrees of kidney disease which required special diets and constant monitoring. They made frequent messes so I'm not afraid to clean up pet accidents. I'm happy to help any animals that need some extra care. Dogs staying at my house get potty breaks as often as possible. There will be lots of playtime and naps throughout the day. Dog walks will take place when the weather is decent and typically in the afternoon/evening. If I go out for errands, dogs are expected to stay in a crate (exceptions are considered. Please reach out for more details). Any animal that stays with us will be treated like family. Meet and greets are required for all services (for local clients) to ensure owner(s), sitter, and animals feel comfortable with one another. Dog Boarding/Day Care: I have a large fenced yard and three high energy pups that would enjoy having new friends to play with. I have lots of toys from stuffed to plastic to rope toys to keep them entertained. Dogs should be crate trained in case I need to leave for an errand (exceptions are considered. Please reach out for more details). Dogs must be okay around cats as they may interact with them when they are in the house. Dogs MUST be okay around children as I have a toddler (the child will never be alone with the dog). Dog Walking: We can walk around the neighborhood or go to a park. I will NEVER go to a dog park. I will only bring my dogs along for a walk if approved by the owner. Vaccines: All animals that enter my home must be up-to-date on vaccines. Dogs MUST have rabies and bordetella (kennel cough) vaccines. Owners must provide vaccination records for confirmation. All animals must be treated for fleas and ticks (as a precaution). This is a year-round requirement. I highly recommend Elanco K9 Advantix II for dogs. If needed, I can provide the medicine and apply to the pet for an additional cost (please reach out for more details). Drop Ins: I'm happy to stay for as short or long as needed to take care of the pet (feed, water, potty break, scoop litter box, administer medicine, etc.) and give them attention.

About: I have been caring for dogs for over 14 years. I have 2 now, and have fostered for Wags to Riches Animal Rescue for over 10 years. Family and friends also rely on me to care for their pups. I work full time from home. During the work day I am able to monitor the dogs in my home and let them outside as they need or want. I have a secure fenced in back yard for pups to play. My dogs are friendly and used to having other dogs come and go.

About: A WFH animal lover with a flexible schedule. With only 1 class at YVC and working from home I can make time in my life to make yours easier! I've had pets my entire life of all types including dogs, cats (including my late senior boy), and other small animals! I currently have a little black cat with plans to adopt more! I've had lots of experience with senior cats AND dogs and special needs babies. I regularly walk and groom dogs at the shelter I volunteer at when I'm not booked up and plan to start vet tech school next fall to continue my pursuit of working with animals. I work from home as a freelance editor so I can work on my laptop anywhere. I have the ability to work around your busy schedule with ease. During the fall quarter I will be taking a single morning class so I will continue to be available at almost any time you need! I will always heed to the knowledge and advice you have about your own pets needs and combine it with my own expereince as a lifetime pet owner and volunteer. Be it an energetic lovebug that needs extra attention or a senior pet that has special needs, I am capable and happy to care for your pet as if they were my own.

“Ricky was excellent for our high maintenance dogs! Our most skiddish pup warmed up to him, and was so happy to see him for her walks.”

About: Pet Experience Summary With over 10 years of experience working with dogs from various backgrounds, I bring extensive knowledge and genuine passion to pet care. My background includes fostering rescue dogs, volunteering at a local rescue animal clinic, and dog training experience that helps me understand canine behavior and communication. I've completed animal first aid certification and have extensive experience caring for medically needy animals, giving me the skills to handle pets with special requirements or health conditions. When you trust me with your beloved pet, you can be confident they'll receive safe, attentive care and be treated with the same love I'd give my own animals. Im currently working a very flexible job that lets me choose my schedule. I work remotely and I have home cameras to watch if Im gone. I also have a roommate who helps me with animal care of needed if I was away. Animals are never left alone and will always have a human around to ensure proper care and your pet is well taken cared for. I have a 6ft fenced yard. Main fences have extra anti escape proof fencing that wont allow a dog to jump over fence. Cameras around the home up front, side and back yard that are recoding 24/7. Trusting neighbors that watch over the neighborhood. Cameras inside and outside of home.

“Loved the recording of the peeing and pooping. Thanks much. On time and dogs got their full walks and the walker was very calm when one of our dogs growled getting her harness on.”

About: I have always had a substantially great amount of love for animals. I grew up on the rural area of town and we always had cats, dogs, chickens, horses etc. I would like to consider myself as a very reliable and responsible individual. I treat all animals I interact with as if they are my own. I am a stay at home mom so most of the times that I am watching dogs or cats my son will be around as well, so i prefer any large dogs to be on the calmer side. Unfortunately, where I currently live does not accept any animals therefore I won’t be able to watch any dogs or cats in my home. I am a stay at home mom doing online school so I have plenty of time do watch and play with animals. My 2 year old son will be with me most of the time so hopefully that needs to be kept in mind while booking with me. He loves all animals as well and knows how to be gentle with them. I am a very attentive person and am good at following tasks that may have to be provided for any animals. That being said I am also sympathetic when it comes to other people’s pets. I understand and I can adapt to the behavior of dogs and cats, whether they are energetic or mellow.

About: I've spent the last 10 years caring for pets of all ages and personalties, from sweet senior companions to newborn puppies, kittens, and the occasional wild ball of energy. I've learned to handle medications with care, clean up any mess with patience, and stay calm when things get hectic. Working with animals has always been a grounding part of my life, and it's taught me to problem solve quickly and confidently. As a recent college graduate, I bring responsibility, compassion, and a true love for animals into every home I visit. Pet care fits into my daily life naturally. I'm currently interning part-time, and on many days I work remotely. This gives me the flexibility to take my time with each pet, whether thats extra playtime, cuddles, or just being there to keep them company. I love being able to give pets attention throughout the day! When I care for pets in a client's home, I prioritize safety, trust, and keeping their environment exactly the way they're used to. I'm attentive to routines and quirky habits, respectful of your space, and always make sure pets feel secure and comfortable. My goal is to create a calm, familiar atmosphere where your pet can relax and you can feel confident they're in good hands.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs from a young age. I was the personal puppy sitter for a cute border collie named Bandita for 2 years. Since then I have walked dogs for family friends and dog sat when needed. I’m currently available for work almost everyday. The only day I am not available is Sunday. Any time from 10am to 3pm is alright with me. I have kept dogs in my fenced in backyard while dog sitting and made sure that they get plenty of walks. I also make sure that they have clean water and cool shade to keep them nice and cool.

About: I’ve grown up around all types of dogs! Big, small, happy and angry ones! I currently have 3 XL dogs who are my babies :-) I know all pups can be different and I plan to get to know each and every one of them! I just moved into the Yakima area and I’m available pretty much 24/7! I’m currently 21 weeks pregnant but I’m still very active for walks and play time with pups :-) I currently have 3 large dogs and have plenty experience with leash pulling/controlling large strong pups. I know an escape artist when I see one (I have a husky)!
