About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10. I have cared for a blind senior cat as well as a cat with hip problems, which required patience, close monitoring, and adapting the environment to keep them safe and comfortable. I currently help care for my friend’s senior dog, who also has hip and dental issues, so I’m familiar with administering gentle support, maintaining comfort, and being attentive to mobility limitations and pain cues. In addition, I have experience caring for younger animals, including kittens and puppies around 12 weeks old. This has given me practice with high-energy care, feeding routines, supervision, and basic early-life behavior management. Overall, I’m comfortable working with both senior pets and young animals, and I adjust my care style based on each pet’s specific health, energy level, and personality needs. Pet care fits into my routine pretty easily because I currently have a part-time job with a very variable schedule. Since my shifts change from week to week, I’m generally flexible and available most days with some notice. This flexibility allows me to adjust around pet care responsibilities like feeding, walks, check-ins, or overnight stays when needed. I’m also used to planning my time in a way that ensures animals are consistently cared for, even on busier days, so I can reliably fit pet care into my weekly schedule. In my home, I would make sure any pet is cared for in a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment. While my apartment doesn’t have a backyard, there is a fenced-in area nearby where dogs can run, play fetch, and get exercise. I also have a car, so if the owner is comfortable with it, I can take the dogs to a dog park for additional enrichment and activity. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions are followed closely. I’m also very mindful of respecting the home itself. I was raised to always leave a place cleaner than I found it, so I make sure everything is kept tidy, organized, and exactly as I found it. Communication is also important to me, so I always update owners and let them know right away if anything seems off or if there are any concerns about their pet’s health, behavior, or well-being.

“She was so great with him. We explained that we’re students and she was so kind and willing to work with our budget which we really appreciated!! She sent us a few updates and said everything went well and Chewy was doing great! Some people may want more frequent updates, but personally we appreciated that she wasn’t sending us a million pictures every day lol. It was the right amount of updates to know he was ok while still enjoying our vacation when we couldn’t be on our phones all that much. Also, she even offered to pick him up and drop him off which made things so much easier for us with all the packing and crazy travel. Definitely recommend her and hope to book with her again the next time we go out of town!”

Liana L.

“Ahsoka had a great time with Katia! She got very comfortable and was clearly well taken care of. We received regular and appropriate updates.”

Keisha P.

“Hannah was amazing! She took great care of our boy Cyrus. She was very good at communicating and sending pictures when we asked for updates. We felt very comfortable leaving our baby with her and we will definitely use her again in the future!”

Courtney D.

“Mikayla was great! She kept me updated with photos of my dogs during their stay with her and let me know if there were any issues or concerns. She did great with my senior dog who has a lot of trauma in her past and problem solved any issues together. I would definitely recommend Mikayla!”

Sophie C.

“Amany was amazing! She was so flexible, as she agreed to a last minute booking with my pup. She also responded quickly and answered all my questions. My pup was so spoiled during the stay. He went shopping and was definitely part of the family during the stay. He was so tired from all the play time and extra attention, he fell asleep in the car on the way home. I will definitely use Amany again!”

About: Hi, I’m Brian! I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had dogs and cats around the house, and it’s a tradition I’ve proudly continued into adulthood. Sadly, both of my beloved pugs passed away over the last few years. Right now, it's just me and my cat, Vader, so I would absolutely love to welcome a canine (or another feline) presence back into my home! I work at WSU and live a quiet, peaceful life here in Colfax. Because my home is a kid-free environment and I spend a lot of my time here, your pet will get plenty of focused attention, companionship, and love. I understand how hard it is to leave your pets, so I am committed to treating yours like family - providing a safe, comfortable, and fun home away from home. I’d love to chat and see if I’m the perfect fit for your pet! I work at WSU so it's a short commute each day, allowing me to spend more time at home. My weekday evenings are pretty quiet. I sometimes go out on the weekends but would be quite happy staying home if there is pet-sitting to do. I have a large fenced yard. I have a large linoleum dining and kitchen area that can easily be blocked off where messes are easy to clean up. I'm totally fine sharing my bed and furniture with a pet. It's a quiet, kid-free house well suited for even the most nervous dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was a young teenager. Mostly dogs and cats of my own, however I love meeting new animals. My strengths derive from my hard work ethic and passion for helping others. I’m a fast learner and am confident following instructions to exact standards. I am a teacher. During the summer I look for part time jobs. This job makes me feel like I’m doing something meaningful. My pets love to spend the extra time with me during the summer so I think others would too. I have large rooms on hardwood flooring. Animals can be crated, put in living room, or free to roam. I have a friendly dog who loves to make friends but can be kept away when needed. I like to take my dog on walks but I would only walk animals as recommended. I check my animals food and water twice a day. I also make sure to check that my dog has seen the new bowl of food at times.

“Anna was great with my dog always sending me photos. I would definitely choose Anna again.”

About: I’ll take good care of your fur babies, like they’re my own. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. What sets me apart is that I will not neglect your pet. We are available at all times to ensure that your dog is well cared for and given the attention he/she deserves. Will have access to a big backyard to run around in and stretch out their legs or if they just simply want to enjoy the sunshine for a bit. It will be like a vacation for them, while you enjoy your trip knowing that your furbaby is in good hands. We are home weekly and are able to care for your dog as they are our own. Can feed dogs specialty food, walk your dog and even throw a ball if they like that. Can give medication if needed for older dogs.

“Shoshana was so kind to my dog and was very reliable. Her warmth and love of animals was very apparent from our first meeting. I was able to go away with complete peace of mind knowing that my dog was being so well cared for.”

Carely M.

“Lily is AMAZING, I cannot praise her enough!! She is attentive, asked plenty of questions, and really did an amazing job caring for Penny. I was worried due recent health issues, but Lily never skipped a beat. I am so thankful to have found her, and can’t wait until the next stay!”

Kay S.

“Jessie is amazing with our spoiled ShihTzu. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”

About: What can I say, people are crazy but animals just make sense 😂 I've grown up with cats since I was an infant, they're truly the prefect animal, can't change my mind! I also have experience with dogs, some reptiles, assorted rodents including guinea pigs, and fish. Outside of that, I'm a fast learner, not afraid of much, and capable of following instructions. I'd love to meet your fur baby! I work full time, so we will just need to talk and figure out schedules. I can usually make it work. I have a reliable car I have a lot of yard space, most of it not fenced unfortunately but I have multiple runners. I have a 3 bedroom apartment in the bottom of a full sized house, so it's spacious and stays cool in the summer. I have a kennel but use it sparingly. My own dogs get taken to one of several parks every morning to run off energy, as well as car rides and walks around the neighborhood. They live their rams horn filled with yogurt or peanut butter and frozen, for their inside time! I try to keep things stimulating As for care in your home, you tell me! I'll adapt to your needs as best I can :)

“Im so grateful to have found Ashley to care for my sweet girl, Nala. She was able to work with my work schedule to take her out daily while im at work and she’s been so great with nala!! She makes sure to get some play time in with her after taking her potty and is very attentive to her needs! She made a point to help me find coverage for days she isn’t available ahead of time and she is very responsive to messages! 10/10 would recommend her to others and appreciate all she is doing!!”

Anna B.

“Stephanie dropped in to look after our cats for a full week while we were away. She was communicative and went above and beyond to care for our pets. She even watered our plants! We highly recommend Stephanie for pet sitting.”

Chelsea C.

“Jasmine was great! She sent lots of pictures during her check ins with my cats. I would definitely book her again!”

About: My experience with dogs has ranged from personal ownership: (raised with two mixed breeds, and owned a WHIPPET for fourteen years), to boarding dogs, to working at a doggie daycare, and working for a dog walking company. Currently I am a stay at home mom to three kids- so I am home most of the time, including weekends. If I do step out, for errands, appointments, and such, I will absolutely make sure your pet has had enough walks/potty breaks. We have a fenced yard, and a great neighborhood for walking. My family, and I will work consistently to make sure your pooch feels comfortable, and loved. That said, for safety reasons I choose not to share photos of my kids on my profile page- regardless, they are great with dogs! My time is flexible in that I can work around my families schedule to provide boarding for your pet(s). We look forward to meeting you/them! I can provide care for your dog(s), by following the schedule you have set for them. I love walking, and playing fetch with dogs! My kids especially love helping out with fetch. 😊 Pet care works easily with my daily, and weekly schedule, because I am a stay at home mom, and therefore home most of the time. In my home pets will be taken care of first and foremost with lots of love, (pets/snuggles). Secondly, pets will be taken care of by administering their daily needs of food, water, snacks, (if they have any), and meds, (if they have any).

“Stephanie did an awesome job with my dog. Definitely trust her again when I come back to town for work next time. She sent some photos mid day and a message letting me know how it was going. Couldn’t ask for anything more, you can tell she has a passion for pets. Thank you.”

Jared A.

“Brandi is great to work with! I know I can trust her with my boys and to let me know when there is anything I need to address or even if they just do something extra goofy”

Ashley D.

“Alice takes such great care of my little guy! He absolutely loves coming to her house and she is so attentive to his needs and communicative. I can’t say enough good things about Alice and her pups!”

About: I’ve taken care of a good amount of breeds from huskies to chihuahuas. I have loved every single one that it melts my heart every time i see them. I have a dog of my own and she’s a sassy silly lazy girl. I enjoy cuddling with dogs and just having fun with them. Going on walks, playing with toys, watching a movie and going through a roller coaster of emotions, i can do a lot with dogs! i can also ensure that i will provide as much goofy photos of possible if wanted (i will be taking because its funny and brings up the vibes) I work super early so I’m available for majority of the day. I’ll leave at the crack of the morning and come back in the morning still! i’m able to take all dogs out for a potty break in between work as well and just give them attention if that’s all they need! I treat my pets like my fur babies. they are my children so i talk to them as if i have teenage kids going through their moody phase. with other people’s dogs i can present my self calmly or energized depending on what they need. i love including them in everything if they want. like if they want to help me fold laundry, cook, clean, or just watch a movie then we are all doing it as a group.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes and personalities for as long as I can remember. Friends, family and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide plenty of love to their pets, as well as working at the local animal shelter for a period of time. Whether it’s energetic puppies, mellow senior dogs or those with special needs. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality and I pride myself on giving them the same care and attention they’d get from you. My goal is to keep tails wagging, paws happy, and pet parents worry free while you’re away. My goal is to keep your pets happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away, whether that means long walks, snuggle time, or play sessions in the yard. I have my own dogs and 2 cats so I’ve got the routine down pretty well. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have an unfenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed and will follow any routines or rules you provide to ensure consistency. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and strive for providing a safe, fun, and loving environment where they can relax and feel at home. I have two kiddos that are all about running the energy off as well so between them and the pets nobody is ever unattended outside.

“Good person. She will take care of your dog. She’s a reliable person, friendly and caring for your dog. Your dog will have it best time time there. My dog really enjoy herself over there. There were a lot of pic taken and updates about what your dog was doing. If you in the area of Kent Wa.good person to watch your dog she's the one ?”

“Allison has been walking my reactive pup, Bodi, for several weeks now. Because of Allison's gentle and calm demeanor, Bodi was comfortable with her right away. She has experience with reactive dogs and listened attentively to my specific instructions on how I manage Bodi's reactivity. She applies her experience, intuition and knowledge of dog body language to keep him under threshold. Allison is a treasure and I wish she could be Bodi's life-long dog walker!”
