Personalized care for your dog or cat - Whitlow
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Whitlow
“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.”
“Brandi is fantastic! She happened to be his vet tech during an emergency visit, and the familiar face put our boy at ease. Later he stayed with her while still on his meds from his incident, and I felt completely confident having him in her care. He whines at the door to see her at dropoff, and comes home happy and tired. We love Bravdi 🤩”
“Super nice people, their love for animals really shows. They took such great care of my boy and were super flexible and accommodating to our needs. So much space for the dogs to run and play! 1000% recommend”
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 is absolutely amazing! I don’t have enough kind/positive words to describe our experience. We boarded our 2 dogs with her for just under a week. One of our dogs is very scared of strangers, but Mikayla had him warmed up and part of the family in just a couple of days! I was so impressed and glad to know that both my babies were taken care of and loved just as they are at home (if not more!). Thank you, Mikayla!”
“Amany was absolutely incredible! She was able to accommodate us on very short notice, which was a lifesaver. From the moment we dropped off our two dogs, we felt at ease knowing they were in good hands. Amany provided consistent updates throughout the day, including photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that our dogs were happy, well-cared for, and having a blast with her! Her attention to detail, love for animals, and excellent communication truly set her apart. We couldn't be happier with the experience, and we highly recommend Amany to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“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!”
“I took my Bella miko and my friend’s dog Mia for an overnight and extra day stay and they have a great time! Excited that I have someone dependable to watch sweet Bella Miko!”
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.
“Ashley did an absolutely fabulous job taking care of my sweet corgi girl nala while I was on vacation! It was my first time leaving her at someone else’s house for that long & ashley made me feel so comfortable with the process & I knew my sweetie would be taken care of to the fullest! She sent pics & chatted with me every day thru out the week & checked in with me on any changes ahead of time. 10000% recommend her & her boarding services, dog walking, etc.!!!!”
About: Hi I’m Erin, I will be the one to give your pet plenty of love and walks whenever they need it! I will be able to pet sit when you want to have a weekend get away or drop in visits to check on your pets. Throughout my 18 years I have been raised around all types of different animals from the smallest to the largest. Such as tiny mice and guinea pigs to horses and cows. I have my own two dogs an a horse while my parents still have a little farm. I have pet sat for others before and absolutely loved it! I am a college student and will be working part time but I don’t have to many classes and will have multiple breaks for to walk or check your pets! I have a flexible schedule so finding openings that fit work best. It fits in-between classes and time when I’m not doing anything on the weekends or when I don’t have class. I love to spoil my pets at home. My dogs sleep with me in my bed and so do my cats. I treat them like my children and couldn’t live without them.
“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 :)
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.
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.

“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.

“Shannon was awesome! She provided lovely, detailed updates on her exchanges with Bailey that made me feel comfortable as I was away.

I’ve already rebooked Shannon for a future trip and I’m extremely happy that I found her and her lovely family to love on Bailey when I’m gone thank you so much!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Whitlow
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).
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!

“Mango is a very good host for dogs and does a great job communicating during the stay. She picks up and drops off your pup which makes it even more convenient. I'll use her service again.”

She also kept an eye out to make sure everything stayed safe, since the pup was just getting acclimated to being around small children.

“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!

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Whitlow
About: I am an animal-lover and biologist trained in animal care, so I can administer medicine and know what your pet needs. I have also worked with a very anxious dog for years, so I know how to deal with severe anxiety. I am in a gap year, so I have plenty of time to give your pet all of my attention. I have a very flexible schedule, so I can work with you depending on what you need. I like to do a Meet & Greet before I work with a new animal so I can meet them when/where they are comfortable. If I am house-sitting, I can be in your home for a large portion of the day that I am not actively caring for your pet, monitoring them and keeping them company while I work on other things.
“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.”
About: Hi! I’m Danielle, and I’d love to help care for your pets while you’re away. I’ve been regularly pet sitting for friends and family for 15 years and have experience caring for cats and dogs with different personalities, from energetic pets who love to play to shy pets who just need a calm presence. I recently started pet caretaking full time, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and lots of time to check in on your pets and keep them company. I know it can be hard to leave your pet with someone new. Whether it’s for walks or daily check ins, I’ll follow their routine and keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can know they’re safe and happy.
“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.”

“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.
“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.”
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: 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.
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 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.
“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!”

“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.”
“Brandi is fantastic! She happened to be his vet tech during an emergency visit, and the familiar face put our boy at ease. Later he stayed with her while still on his meds from his incident, and I felt completely confident having him in her care. He whines at the door to see her at dropoff, and comes home happy and tired. We love Bravdi 🤩”
“Super nice people, their love for animals really shows. They took such great care of my boy and were super flexible and accommodating to our needs. So much space for the dogs to run and play! 1000% recommend”
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 is absolutely amazing! I don’t have enough kind/positive words to describe our experience. We boarded our 2 dogs with her for just under a week. One of our dogs is very scared of strangers, but Mikayla had him warmed up and part of the family in just a couple of days! I was so impressed and glad to know that both my babies were taken care of and loved just as they are at home (if not more!). Thank you, Mikayla!”
“Amany was absolutely incredible! She was able to accommodate us on very short notice, which was a lifesaver. From the moment we dropped off our two dogs, we felt at ease knowing they were in good hands. Amany provided consistent updates throughout the day, including photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that our dogs were happy, well-cared for, and having a blast with her! Her attention to detail, love for animals, and excellent communication truly set her apart. We couldn't be happier with the experience, and we highly recommend Amany to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“I took my Bella miko and my friend’s dog Mia for an overnight and extra day stay and they have a great time! Excited that I have someone dependable to watch sweet Bella Miko!”
“Ashley did an absolutely fabulous job taking care of my sweet corgi girl nala while I was on vacation! It was my first time leaving her at someone else’s house for that long & ashley made me feel so comfortable with the process & I knew my sweetie would be taken care of to the fullest! She sent pics & chatted with me every day thru out the week & checked in with me on any changes ahead of time. 10000% recommend her & her boarding services, dog walking, etc.!!!!”
About: Hi I’m Erin, I will be the one to give your pet plenty of love and walks whenever they need it! I will be able to pet sit when you want to have a weekend get away or drop in visits to check on your pets. Throughout my 18 years I have been raised around all types of different animals from the smallest to the largest. Such as tiny mice and guinea pigs to horses and cows. I have my own two dogs an a horse while my parents still have a little farm. I have pet sat for others before and absolutely loved it! I am a college student and will be working part time but I don’t have to many classes and will have multiple breaks for to walk or check your pets! I have a flexible schedule so finding openings that fit work best. It fits in-between classes and time when I’m not doing anything on the weekends or when I don’t have class. I love to spoil my pets at home. My dogs sleep with me in my bed and so do my cats. I treat them like my children and couldn’t live without them.
“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 :)
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.
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.

About: My family has lots of dogs ranging from 150 lbs to 7 lbs. I have taken care of them since I was 10 years old. My schedule is very open, I only have class on Tuesday and Thursday. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday is open all day for me to watch. I am active so your dog will be walked and taken outside very often. My house is big so lots of room to play around.
“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.”
