“Courtney was an amazing dog-sitter who went out of her way to give both our senior dog and puppy a very happy and comfortable experience. She was very observant and conscientious about checking in with us about everything, sent us photos, and she and her children offered our dogs a warm and welcoming family experience.”
“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!”
“Ravi had such a good time with Amity! He seemed sad to be leaving when we drove off the lot. I took him home and he was tired and well-behaved because he had such a great time playing! Great experience, overall, and will definitely bring my dog here again. Thank you so much!!!”
“Amany was amazing with our scared of everything special needs dog! We are so happy to finally find someone that takes such good care of Fritz! We will definitely have Amany watch him again!”
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.
“Melissa and her family were great! Provided updates, pics while we were away, which are much appreciated. A seamless drop off and pickup, too. Hoping our dog can stay with Melissa in the future and definitely recommend.”
“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!”
About: I’ve owned pets from bearded dragons, tree frogs, Guinea pigs, hamsters, and dogs big and small. I love animals and I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, tarantulas (assisting with shedded skin stuck), and exotic frogs. I’m currently working full time until August where I will then work full time as a pet sitter. I’m available after 5:30 PM M-F and the entirety of the weekends. I have a small dog that could keep your dog company. I don’t just consider it my responsibility to keep your dog safe, but mentally stimulated as well. Expect walks, play, pupcups, and hikes upon owners permission or request .
“Jamie was amazing! Milo came back absolutely exhausted from playing all weekend with Jamie and her Fritter. She responded to any behavioral concerns I had flagged prior, and he was a safe and happy camper.”
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 have seen and taken care of many different pets. I have a lot of energy and will show your pet the attention it deserves. I have been around many cats and dogs and have had birds in the past and currently have a dwarf gerbil. I am a 21 year old student at the University of Idaho. I have had all sorts of pets and really just enjoy the happiness they bring me. I have a part time job and school but am still pretty flexible. I am very detail oriented and like to think I am pretty responsible. I love pets so I would never want anything bad to happen to one of my pets or anyone else's.
“I was nervous about boarding my fur babies (3 of them) but Stephanie was so sweet with them as soon as we got to her house. Her home is set up for your four legged family. She sent video of them and let me know they were adjusting well. We will definitely be asking her to board our four legged babies the next time we go out of town and can't take them with us!”
About: I had a Pharaoh hound growing up for 15 years and lost her to cancer 4 years ago. I love going on walks, and I'm looking for some new companions to join me! I just got my bachelors degree in Zoology, and I've always been passionate about working with animals throughout my life. I also have 7 years of experience as a house and pet sitter and about 100 hours of volunteer work at the Spokanimals shelter. My schedule is wide open for the summer while I'm in town! Just reach out and let me know, any day, any time, and I will be there! I will respect the rules you have in place for your pet at your home and at mine. I will take the pups on walks at least once a day and let them go outside to potty every hour or as needed. I am happy to brush hair if you supply the tools. I promise to keep your puppy happy to the best of my abilities!
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.
“Super happy with how our pup was treated! Wendy (Alice) did a fantastic job taking care of Minima, taking her for walks, and keeping in contact while we were away. She knows what she is doing!”

“Hera was an amazing sitter. My cat has asthma and needed a daily inhaler and she was able to give it to him with no problems. The kitties loved her and she was very kind and prompt with her responses. We will definitely try to book her again!”
“Jessica took great care of my cats. My cats have very different personalities and Jessica was patient and gave them the type of attention they each require. Jessica followed the schedule I requestrd which was great for the cats. Highly recommend!”
“Morgan is always right on time leaves great pictures of my pet. She pays attention to his needs when she's here, even if it's not on the list. We love having Morgan come back!”
“Mark does an amazing job caring for our sweet cat. He also gets our mail and waters our house plants and out door plants. Anything you need done, Mark is happy to help. Strongly recommend Mark for your pet care needs”
“Corra did wonderfully with my two babies! She was very professional, kind, loving, and caring. I loved receiving notifications and photos of each visit. I was happy that my older cat, Agustin, who is more nervous, loved Corra and her energy from the first moment. It's clear that she loves animals, and I can't recommend her enough!”
“Peyton was just awesome with our 2 cats! The one that is really hesitant around people took a real shine to her. She did everything awesome and we were so glad to have her watch our boys”
“Sara is AMAZING! She took care of my 3 cats for 10 days and did more than expected. She was prompt with stopping by everyday after her classes to feed and check on the cats. She spent time each evening giving them snuggles and pets. Cleaned their bowls and litter box and sent me photos everyday. I felt very comfortable knowing they were well cared for while I was gone and by the photos it looked my cats were very happy too 😊 She is a vet student at WSU so I also knew that if any of cats were sick, she would take good care of them and get them any needed medical attention. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Steffanie was more than we could have asked for. She treated our pet sitting like we were family and showed attentive care with thorough communication. Steffanie made sure our kitty was warm, happy and safe -and even alerted us of a leak in the house. She truly went above and beyond, and we would not hesitate to have her pet sit for us again!”
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.
“Jessica was great. She stopped by just like we asked, and even went the extra mile to play with out more sociable fur babies. She made sure to get pictures of them as well so we didn't worry too much. I would definitely hire her again!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Sunshine
“Or boy always has fun with Brandi! He whines at the door to see her, and comes home happy. Thankful for the flexible pickup when our plans when longer than expected.”
“Last minute booking, she did fantastic! Very obviously had the interest of the animals in mind, making sure my dog (and her other clients) were safe, happy and comfortable. I can’t wait to book with Mango again. Thanks from me and my pup!”
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).

“Whitney and her dogs welcomed my pup and helped her settle in, even though she was nervous at first. She also kept an eye out to make sure everything stayed safe, since the pup was just getting acclimated to being around small children. I really appreciated this help getting the dog socialized, since I very much want her to be a 100% kid-friendly dog as she grows up! Thank you!!”
“Ayca was a wonderful dog sitter for our little poodle. Her calm demeanor was perfect for Molly and when we returned we could tell she had been in good hands. Thanks again for your kindness to our dog!”
About: I've provided pet care for clients, friends and family my whole life. I love adventuring with my dogs ie walks, hikes, going to the beach. I use positive training and discipline techniques. I've taken dog training classes. I've cared for dogs of all ages and breeds. I love adding to my pack! I've a lot of availability! I have summers off and am often out enjoying the outdoors with my dog. I'd love to add to my pack! I have a large yard (unfenced). I keep new dogs on leash when outside. Lots of supervision and engagement. I do enjoy off leash play, but on case by case basis.
“Just a fantastic experience! Was in town for a day for a conference & had to check out of my dog friendly hotel that morning, so needed doggie daycare. Rosalie was responsive, professional, attentive & provided a great space for Dalton very convenient to university campus, not to mention a friendly gentle dog of her own. Beautiful home, amazing (fenced in) yard. I really felt that Dalton was in great hands. Would highly recommend & would absolutely book again with Rosalie.”
About: I’ve worked for dog breakers and have been a pet sitter dozens of times. I love spending time with animals and always treat them with the best care. I work 6am-2pm Monday-friday, but am able to take off work or get a substitute when needed. If you need someone watching your animal for 1-5 days, I can fit that in with my work schedule. I unfortunately live in an apartment, so taking the dog or cat will be hard, but I have no problem going to someone’s house to check/take care/watch your animal!
About: I have my own pet, and I grew up on a farm. I have cared for animals for years and would love to spend my work home office with your pet! Any day or time of the week works for me. I work from home so I can fill my time up caring for your loved one I have a private room and toys for your furry friend and live in a pet friendly neighborhood. Walks on the beach, or cuddles on the couch are my speciality.
About: When I was 11 years old I started volunteering at the Idaho humane society every weekend. At 15 years my mother and I became a registered foster family for dogs and cats in need . I am a junior studying Interior architecture at the University of idaho. I am in Boise for summer break! I take this job very seriously and love to care for your sweet animals ! Hello my schedule is very flexible! My internship Is remote and in office! I work at a small design firm so they are very flexible . I will care for the pets by keeping there allergy’s in notes and keeping them away from things they cannot handle with on walks . I will make sure no food or choking hazards will ever be left out.
“Mikayla is wonderful! Kind, communicative, and flexible. Sassy had a great time and Mikayla sent many pictures and updates. I’m so grateful for her care of Sassy! We will return :)”
About: I have had dogs and cats for many years and love them dearly. When asked if I have children, I always state, "Yes, some with fur and some without." I'm always looking for dog care when I travel and know what a hassle it can be as well as a large expense. I've often cared for animals of family and friends and have had a great time with them. I'm hoping to be able to open my home to others when they are away so that I can provide good care for their dogs or cats at a reasonable price - just like I would want for my own when I am out of town. I am self-employed with a flexible schedule and I'm home quite a bit so I thought dog or cat sitting would be an excellent way to meet new furry friends and help out others who are in my shoes. I have a large fenced-in area for potty breaks, play, and exercise but my house is large enough to accomodate dogs and/cats in separate areas. Taking dogs walking is also something I enjoy and would be able to do quite simply as we live on a 140 acre farm. If your pup likes swimming, we have a pond they can take a dip in during the hot summer months. I'm available for the animals nearly 24/7 with the exception to times I go into town for errands. I usually crate feed my current dogs twice a day but I can adjust times as needed. My dogs and other dogs I watch use a doggy door open to a large fenced-in area on the farm. I can also take dogs out through the doors if they’re unaccustomed to or unable to use an automatic doggy door. I take my dogs off-leash on walks in our woods and can do that or keep them leashed. Animals are welcome to sleep on our furniture (what ours do frequently) but I have crates available if this is preferred. If your dogs love to play with other dogs, they can play with mine, but I can keep them separate from my critters if they prefer their own space.
“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.”

“He came to our first meeting with thoughtful questions about my dog's needs, energy level, and routine, which immediately told me he takes this seriously. My dog is very high energy, and he handles him like a pro every single time. What really sets him apart is how communicative he is! He sends tons of photos every visit and always keeps me in the loop. I never have to wonder how the walk went. He's also always on time, which matters more than people realize when you're counting on someone. I'd recommend him to anyone, but especially if you have a dog that needs more than just a quick lap around the block.”

“Noah is very professional. My dog very much enjoys his walk time. Teddy sits and waits for Noah to come. He has the schedule down. Except Teddy hasn't figured out why no Noah on weekends.”

“Hera was wonderful. Maggie-Roo had a great time on her walks. It's so great when one may attend an event confident that one's dog is receiving great and loving care. Thank you. Highly recommended.”
“Jessica does a great job walking Bodi. She is calm and flexible in meeting Bodi's needs. Her love and care for animals shows in the way she talks to Bodi and his reponse to Jessica. Bodi is always eager to meet Jessica at the door and begin their walk. He returns happy and satisfied.”
About: I had my own dog for 10 years before he passed. I occasionally foster for the Whitman county humane society so I have experience taking care of puppies and older dogs, as well as those who need medications. My availability is currently wide open and I would love to spend my time helping other people take care of their furry loved ones! I also have experience with different forms of leashes (i.e. gentle leaders, harnesses, etc.). I understand the importance of repetition for dogs and will do my best to keep to your schedules and the way you do things. Please let me know how I can help you and your pet! :) I am currently in between jobs at the moment so my schedule is wide open for the time being but will keep my calendar updated I live in a smaller apartment so it would be best for only dog at my place at a time. Will follow any rules in place for time spent at the client’s home.
About: I really love dogs, have one of my own, and will always have at least one dog. As far as cats go, I grew up with one, and even though I don't have one now, I really care for these guys. I work mostly from home, doing business that is based on product reviews. It's the type of work where I am very flexible, so I can step out from time to time to take care of pets. I don't think I should have another pet in my home as my dog doesn't get along with other dogs, but I have recent experience taking care of pets in people's houses.
“I booked Morgan to help with my dogs post surgery. I was unable to walk without crutches. She walked them daily and did little things here and there that were probably no big deal to her but meant a lot for me! She was kind and easy to work with and my dogs absolutely love her!!”
About: I have had both dogs and cats in my home my whole life. I am currently a WSU Pre-Vet student. My world revolves around my pets, and I will make sure your pets feel the same. I attend classes at Washington State University but still have plenty of time for walks and snuggles. I am available for longer stays on the weekends or during the week if an overnight stay is okay. I always monitor my dogs while they are outside because I do not have a fenced yard. Neither of my dog's sleep in crates, but I am more than willing to enforce that if needed.
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.
About: I have 6 years of experience as a veterinary technician in emergency and critical care. If your pets have any special medical needs, I can be your go-to sitter. I am also a current veterinary student at WSU. I have experience caring for all kinds of animals, from furry friends to exotics. During the summer my schedule is wide open. I work part-time, but will have plenty of time provide all of the care your pets may need. My extensive experience as a veterinary technician allows me to properly care for any pets with medical needs. My trained eye allows me to recognize if your pet is in any kind of medical distress, allowing you to relax while away from your beloved pets. I am well-versed in animal behavior as well, which allows me adjust to pets with anxiety or shyness.
About: Back home in New Mexico I would house-sit and pet-sit any times I wasn't working in the animal hospital. I am very comfortable with any breed, size, and age. I am especially happy to take care of pets who may need medications or who are anxious and might need a slower introduction and care. I am currently on summer break from vet school so I have all the time in the world to focus on your pets care! I am extremely flexible with my hours I'm available. One of my dogs is especially anxious around other dogs so I will not be offering care in my home. I am more than happy to stay with your pet in the comfort of their own home as long as they need! I will match wherever your pet is at comfortability wise. If they want all the snuggles, great! If they just want me to sit with/near them, great! Their happiness is my priority!
About: Currently I’m a vet student at WSU! I’ve just wrapped up my first year of vet school. My ultimate goal is to go into large animal medicine. I have lived with cats my entire life and have worked with dogs throughout high school and into college. I am currently fitting in part time animal care into my daily routine. It is something I enjoy doing and is an activity I enjoy making time for. In a clients home I would be ready and willing to feed pets and let pets outside. I would also be willing to play with pets and take them on walks.
About: I havr personally owned and worked closely with over 36 different species. I have many different kinds of reptiles, birds, small animals, a cat and 3 wonderful dogs. I am trained and have experience adminstering shots as well as oral medication to; dogs, cats and reptiles as well as birds. I’d love to share my love for animals in assisting you with your loved ones. To me animals are family not just pets. I am flexible on times as I am an online student, please check with me to make sure I don’t already have appointments at your needed time! I can not house animals at my house currently but I can absolutely to do home visits as well as home stays any day of the week.
About: I had a dog when I was a teenager and now that I have moved out I have a cat as well named Horchata. I also have experience taking care of rabbits and guinea pigs. Message me for my rabbit/guinea pig rate! Many family members rely on my expertise to watch their fur babies :) I am the Carmelita Spencer Foods Lab manager on campus which is a part time position and going to school full time but would really love to do something I’m passionate about on my off time like working with animals. My availability is open to anytime I am not at work. I am good at getting animals to listen and calm down if need be. I believe that animals are very in tune with tone and that is the main way they know if what they are doing is good or bad.

“Courtney was an amazing dog-sitter who went out of her way to give both our senior dog and puppy a very happy and comfortable experience. She was very observant and conscientious about checking in with us about everything, sent us photos, and she and her children offered our dogs a warm and welcoming family experience.”
“Ravi had such a good time with Amity! He seemed sad to be leaving when we drove off the lot. I took him home and he was tired and well-behaved because he had such a great time playing! Great experience, overall, and will definitely bring my dog here again. Thank you so much!!!”
“Amany was amazing with our scared of everything special needs dog! We are so happy to finally find someone that takes such good care of Fritz! We will definitely have Amany watch him again!”
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.
“Melissa and her family were great! Provided updates, pics while we were away, which are much appreciated. A seamless drop off and pickup, too. Hoping our dog can stay with Melissa in the future and definitely recommend.”
“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!”
“Jamie was amazing! Milo came back absolutely exhausted from playing all weekend with Jamie and her Fritter. She responded to any behavioral concerns I had flagged prior, and he was a safe and happy camper.”
About: I have seen and taken care of many different pets. I have a lot of energy and will show your pet the attention it deserves. I have been around many cats and dogs and have had birds in the past and currently have a dwarf gerbil. I am a 21 year old student at the University of Idaho. I have had all sorts of pets and really just enjoy the happiness they bring me. I have a part time job and school but am still pretty flexible. I am very detail oriented and like to think I am pretty responsible. I love pets so I would never want anything bad to happen to one of my pets or anyone else's.
“I was nervous about boarding my fur babies (3 of them) but Stephanie was so sweet with them as soon as we got to her house. Her home is set up for your four legged family. She sent video of them and let me know they were adjusting well. We will definitely be asking her to board our four legged babies the next time we go out of town and can't take them with us!”
About: I had a Pharaoh hound growing up for 15 years and lost her to cancer 4 years ago. I love going on walks, and I'm looking for some new companions to join me! I just got my bachelors degree in Zoology, and I've always been passionate about working with animals throughout my life. I also have 7 years of experience as a house and pet sitter and about 100 hours of volunteer work at the Spokanimals shelter. My schedule is wide open for the summer while I'm in town! Just reach out and let me know, any day, any time, and I will be there! I will respect the rules you have in place for your pet at your home and at mine. I will take the pups on walks at least once a day and let them go outside to potty every hour or as needed. I am happy to brush hair if you supply the tools. I promise to keep your puppy happy to the best of my abilities!
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.
“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!”
“Lily was fantastic with my small Pomeranian mix! Ember is a bit nervous around new people, but immediately took to Lily and they had a great time together with lots of attention and walks. Communication was great too... I highly recommend Lily! ☺️”
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 :)
