Dog Walking West Central

About: Hi there! I'm a stay-at-home mom with over 30 yrs experience with dogs. I am a certified trainer and have raised and trained many dogs. I would like to add a few temporary companions to my pack. I am located in West Central Spokane, just steps away from the Centennial Trail and Spokane River—perfect for daily walks and outdoor adventures! Pick up and drop off available within the Spokane area. What You Can Expect: Safe, loving care in a pet-friendly home Walks 1–2 times daily along the beautiful Centennial Trail Plenty of supervised playtime in the backyard Personalized attention and snuggles throughout the day Regular updates with pictures and messages A calm environment—no aggressive dogs, please I live with my two friendly pups: a gentle Bernese Mountain Dog and an energetic Porky (Pomeranian/Yorkie mix). They love meeting new friends and are great at making visiting dogs feel welcome. We have a fully fenced backyard where the dogs can safely play and roam. Whether you're going on vacation or just need a weekend away, your dog will be treated like part of the family here. I’d love to schedule a meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a great fit! I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I am usually only gone for a few hrs a day and can devote the rest of my time to snuggling, exercising, socializing, and just being there for your pup. Your pet is welcome in my home and will be treated like a part of the pack. They are free to roam the house and the yard supervised. I have a fully fenced backyard where our pups can play. They do go in a crate for safety when I leave the house or at night when I sleep. Your dog will be treated like part of the family here.

“Dani is sooo wonderful with my dog. She has separation anxiety and Dani just talks her right thru it. She pays close attention to my dog’s needs and responds accordingly. She’s a treasure!”

“Audrey did a great job with Tommy, even after he decided not to eat during her first day with him. (It’s not unusual behavior on his part.) She did a great job in keeping us informed and working through food options, one of which eventually worked. She was calm under pressure.”

“Lexis was awesome. She stopped by to do a meet and greet ahead of time and was timely on the day of her sit. Will definitely use her again and recommend her to any of our pup owning friends”

About: I offer over 15 years of pet care experience to animals both large and small. My background includes professional work experience in animal care, working as a stablehand and caring for large animals at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital at Washington State University in 2018. I am passionate about dog training and enjoy working with young dogs. We also have two fish tanks, so I have knowledge and experience caring for aquatic friends. I am a current pet mom and hybrid worker looking to help others with their pet care needs during my flex days at work on Mondays and Fridays. I offer flexibility in scheduling and am happy to complete walks around your local neighborhood or specific area nearby. I have a fenced back yard and single-story floorplan with a dog to keep yours company during the day! I am comfortable with adhering to more structured care plans and offer space for kenneling if needed.

“Sarah is great with our pit bull mix Abby. She always responds to any concerns or questions and gives Abby lots of attention. We will definitely love having Sarah walk Abby again.”

About: - I'm experienced in medication administration, including injection - I know that your pets are part of your family. I will give them the best care possible so that both you and your cats will have a stress free time. I have a flexible schedule. I am happy to be able to provide in home visits so that your cats never have to endure a stressful boarding. Every cat deserves the best. Let me know your cat's individual love language and I'm happy to oblige with play time, cuddles, or some headbutting.

About: I have trained a puppy of my own as young as 8 weeks, including potty training and basic skills. I care to love and respect every animal as I do see them as small and unique souls! I am currently working a remote job part time and am looking for another job to add more routine, get me outside and active, and around animals. With provided materials, I feel fully comfortable hosting or providing care to animals based on the owners preferences. I live in a very walkable area and would love to be more active in my own day to day routine.

About: I've owned and cared for dogs and other animals my whole life. More recently in the past five years or so, I've dog sat for 10+ friends for extended stays without a hitch, ranging from three very yappy adult chihuahuas to inexperienced puppies of all sizes. I've also been responsible for looking after a whole farm's worth of animals, including chickens, alpaca, goats, donkeys, and more. I think my greatest assets as a sitter are my empathy for the animals while staying calmly in control. I work full-time from home, so my schedule is plenty flexible to give lots of love and several walks or dog park trips a day. Some week nights are available as well as weekends, dependent on other scheduling conflicts. I have a fenced yard with two pups and two cats (who mostly keep to themselves) to keep them company. I also have close access to the centennial trail for walks as well as a few local dog parks. I have crates available for your dog if needed as well.

“My dog Lucy loves Alex. I couldn't ask for a better dog walker.”

About: I have a deep passion for CARE. I love providing things for people and recently have discovered even animals! Not only do I care for them but I also realize they give me joy! So its a mutual type of caring :) I do music for my job at the university but I figured it would be good to also get some other income but through pet sitting! I prefer to care for dogs! Small and medium dogs as I am small and medium ahha! To talk with the animals and give attention and be playful is so key! You treat them as if they were your child too! They have feelings and a heart too!

“Danei is absolutely amazing!! My puppy adores her!! I'm so grateful to have her walking Teddy during my work days. It's such a load off my mind knowing that he is getting walks from someone who genuinely cares and understands that crazy puppy energy.”

About: As an owner of two huskies and two cats I am well adversed to temper tantrums, howling, and needing to spending lots of quality time and care with my furry friends :) I am available 24/7 all days of the week. I need 25 more words before I can submit this so I am just going to type gibberish blah blah blah there we go :∆ I always like to make sure to give animals their own space. Meeting up before house sitting is always something I tried to do before and because it can be scary for an animal to be left alone with a complete stranger.

About: I come from a household full of all kinds of animals, and am experienced in handling all their personalities and quirks. Cats who won't come out from under the bed, the dog that wants to play ball in the middle of the night, the chickens that think 330 am is an appropriate time to call, and all the middle-of-the-night things that livestock get up to, I have been there, done that, and am capable of dealing with whatever comes my way! I have a full-time 8am-5pm day job, and guarantee that I will be present at your house to take care of your little ones from 6pm-7am, and if the distance and commute allows it, will drop by during my lunch hour to let anyone out for a potty break if needed. I care for pets in their own home - I strongly believe that this alleviates a lot of the stress of having someone watch them as they are in their own surroundings, and I do my best to accommodate their routines as much as I am able. Late nights, early mornings, feeding routines, etc, are as close as I can get them to their normal schedules. I will treat your beloveds as my own!

“Second time having Larke help with our dogs and she is amazing as ever! Thank you for walking and keeping our girls active! We are so grateful!!”

“Karli has been great! She has been very flexible with scheduling and my dog Stella just loves her. I have a large breed senior dog and she is very understanding and takes special care on walks. I will also be using her to house sit for my dog in the future as well!”

“Emily was timely and took my dog for a nice walk. I got pictures and updates while they were out and was able to relax knowing my dog was in great care.”

About: Welcome to my profile! I’m a dedicated pet lover with a special fondness for both dogs and cats. My journey in pet sitting is marked by my ongoing care for a delightful Boston Terrier named Stella. I’ve had the joy of dog sitting Stella for extended periods, ranging from 3 to 7 days at a time. During my time with Stella, I ensure her needs are met with utmost care and attention. This includes: • Feeding: Providing timely meals according to her dietary requirements. • Walks: Taking her on enjoyable walks, ensuring she gets plenty of exercises and fresh air. • Potty Breaks: I have developed a keen sense of understanding her cues for when she needs to use the potty, ensuring she’s comfortable and accidents are avoided. • Playtime and Affection: Engaging in playtime and providing her with the affection and attention she deserves. In addition to my experience with Stella, I have a deep affection for cats and understand their unique needs and personalities. Whether it’s engaging in playful activities or respecting their space and independence, I’m adept at ensuring they feel safe and loved. My approach to pet sitting is rooted in compassion, patience, and an understanding of the needs of different animals. I’m committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your pets, treating them with the same love and care as if they were my own. Looking forward to being your trusted pet sitter and giving your furry family members the best care possible! I have open availability Friday and Saturday. I work in the evening most days so am available in the morning for walks and visits. Also happy to house sit and check on pets after my shift ends. I first take into consideration the owner and what they prefer when I am taking care of their pet. Generally, I am pretty relaxed and intuitive when it comes to pets. We get along easily, I can gauge how much attention they need, and I don’t worry too much about accidents, if they want to sleep in my bed, or want a bite of people food.
