About: I am from Tri Cities and have a passion for animals! I have 2 cats and two dachshunds of my own. I have watched a few of my friends dogs in the past, ranging different sizes. I would love to take your dog(s) for a walk! I currently work full time Mon- Fri, with time available after work or on weekends through the day. Would love to incorporate more animals in to my life since I cannot adopt anymore! We have a big house and fenced yard for animals to enjoy. Both of my cats are indoors and escape artists, so I am used to being very careful and attentive. I understand it is nerve wracking to have someone else watch over your pets and hope that they don’t escape their sight. I promise to do my very best to provide an attentive, loving, friendly approach with your animals. Both of my dogs are Dachsunds, meaning I am used to the most stubborn dog on the planet. I also understand the importance of home modifications for them to live happily and safely with us; so rest assured that I can relate to specific requests and attention to detail when caring for your babies.

My goal is to create a stress free, secure environment where your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away!

“Our shibas are always taken care of when Kirk comes to visit. He sends photos and updates during his visits and has good availability! The girls always seem like no time has passed when we get home so I know they are comfortable with Kirk. The house is always respected and clean when we come home too!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have experience in senior and puppy care. I love dogs and have cared for ones of all sizes. I’m currently volunteering so I’ll have plenty of free days and weekends to watch and care for animals. My days are fairly free and I’m open for last second bookings. I have experience in crate training two dogs while providing them with a safe and comfortable experience. I also have a safe fenced yard with two friendly dogs.

About: Hello I am Maia You wanna head out on a summer vacation? I’m a college student happy to be home! I have been caring for animals since I can remember, anything from puppies to turtles. If you need a reliable sitter or pet walker let me know! Like I said before I’m a college student home for the summer. I’m available all summer and would love to give your pets all the love and attention that they absolutely deserve. I have been pet sitting for several years and I have the routine down pat. I have cared for a wide variety of animals including reactive dogs, fearful animals, and some quirky creatures. Whatever your pets need I will make it happen

About: Hello, Not sure how to genuinely list my experience as it spans a lifetime of owning and caring for dogs and cats. If I were to assign a number without aging myself... it would be about a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all kinds. :) Professionally, I worked for Kadlec Regional Medical Center for 12 years in nutrition services. In 2022, I left my role to be at home with our youngest child, and now that child is about to start school. Now I'm reentering into the workforce aligning with a passion and skill of mine. In addition to specifically supporting our household these past three years, I have also provided part time pet sitting, dog walking, bathing, and light grooming for friends and family. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized care. Whether you're booking a stop by visit, a walk, or short stay, my goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. Reliability and communication are especially important to me. I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pet in someone else's care, so I make it a priority to be dependable, follow routines closely, respond, and provide updates so you can have peace of mind. I genuinely care about the well-being of both pets and their owners, and I look forward to building trusted relationships with the families I serve. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I keep my schedule flexible for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I make it a priority to be dependable and on time. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their routines and follow all instructions closely to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I pay attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications if needed, and any specific preferences. I prioritize safety, clear communication, and providing a calm, caring environment where pets can feel relaxed while their owners are away.

About: I am a patient, and enjoy learning new pet characteristics :) I like interacting with them making sure they stay active and have fun with me. Going to college I am free Friday-Sunday! I will use the $$ towards college :) thank you! I am looking forward to hanging out and taking care of new fur babies ! Super excited I’ll be driving to you and would love to meet your fur baby. I enjoy keeping them active while they are with me. Safety is key for me

About: Animals truly have a special place in my heart. I've been the designated "pet sitter" for friends and family for as long as I can remember and I would love to meet some new fur babies! I've had dogs and cats all my life and I spent the summer volunteering at an animal shelter, so I understand how to work with animals and different personality types. Anxious or not, I got you! I love taking them on walks, bringing homemade or store-bought treats (with parent permission of course), and going to the dog park! They will be spoiled around here, trust me. Thank you for considering me! I’m currently self employed, so I have lots of free time to spend with your pets! If you let me know at least a couple days in advance, I can be there! My number 1 priority is your pets comfort, I will always do my best to make sure they are taken care of. I am also very competent and can follow any instructions regarding your pets diet, schedule, and/or behavior.

“This was our first time leaving our pets for more than a weekend, and David did a great job of taking care of them and letting us know how they were doing! When we got back all our pets were happy and healthy, almost like we’d never left :)”

About: Growing up, my family had 5 dogs. My mom made it a priority to teach us kids about loving and caring for animals. I have been scooping dog poop and kitty litter my whole life and I have watched my neighbors/friends pets. My siblings and I are big animal lovers to this day, and I plan to get dogs and cats after graduating medical school, when I will have a stable job and I can provide what they deserve. Until then, I take great joy in spending time with pets! I currently live in Richland for school and your money will be going completely towards my education. Thank you so much for reading and considering me! My schedule is somewhat flexible with school. I am starting my clinical rotations this year, so my schedule is highly variable and I have different weekdays off each week. I have my general availability listed on my calendar, but please reach out to me with specific timing and requests and I will either commit or offer alternative times outside of my rotation schedule. I would love to spend my time with your furry friend! I love to be outside in every capacity: hiking, walking, going to the park or the beach. These activities are always more joyful with a pet companion. As a medical student, trust is so important to my future work. I know that rapport needs to be established before anyone feels safe around you, and pets are no different. I will get to know your pet's needs, and make sure they are safe and comfortable while you are away. I am a respectful, professional, and courteous house guest, and I would be so grateful for the opportunity to care for your pets.

About: I have pet experience with all types of animals! I love animal husbandry and I’ve personally raised all sorts of reptiles, fish, dogs, cats, insects, chickens, and rodents! If they sell it at a pet store I’ve raised it! I’ve also worked with but not owned personally birds along with larger farm animals, but I love to learn! I’m also on a short contact list for multiple pet stores in the area for surrendered animals, ask me what critters I’m raising currently! I currently work with kids and have a standard lunch break everyday from 12-1 pm to do bathroom breaks and check ins! I am able to stay and care for your animals all hours around my 30 hour work week! Safety is my utmost priority with animals I sit! I keep all medications above eye level including making sure to disturb their natural environment as little as possible, including their routine! I also make sure to remove all trash before I leave for any amount of time, secure all exits, verify animals have been appropriately fed and watered along with insuring bathroom breaks beforehand as well.

“Coral watched my cat for the week and did a great job. My cat is extremely shy and she was able to make Cassidy comfortable in a very short time. Typically Cassidy hides with sitters but she was comfortable enough to be out most of the time. Otherwise, Coral was timely and took care of everything as expected. Thanks!”

About: I've cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from playful puppies to calm seniors. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, giving medication, or spending some quality play time, I am attentive to every pet's unique needs. My goal is always to ensure every dog feels safe loved, and well cared for. As a college student currently on summer break, I have a very open and flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time to your pet(s), whether that means staying with them all day or providing frequent visits. I'm happy to tailor my care to fit your pet's routine and needs, making sure they feel comfortable and loved while you're away. When I dog or cat sit at your home, I make sure to keep your pet safe and comfortable by sticking to their routine. I will always be respectful of your space and will keep things clean and tidy. I also like to keep you updated so you know how your furry friend(s) is doing while you're away!
