Dog Sitting West Richland

About: I grew up on a farm, where caring for animals was simply part of everyday life. From livestock and horses to dogs, cats, birds, and small animals, I learned early that every animal has its own personality and needs. Today, I also share my home with exotic pets (ferrets) which has given me experience with specialized care, enrichment, and close attention to health and behavior. Whether your pet is young, energetic, shy, or enjoys a slower pace, I provide patient, attentive care tailored to their routine. I'll follow your instructions carefully, treat your pet like family, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. As a self-employed business owner, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around the pets in my care rather than trying to fit them in between other commitments. That flexibility means I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits, maintain your pet's normal routine, and provide reliable, consistent care. Whether it's a walk, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, I'll make sure they receive the attention they deserve while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, potty breaks, and any special preferences or restrictions. I understand that staying in a familiar environment helps many pets feel more relaxed while you're away, so I strive to keep their routine as normal as possible. I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own, ensure doors and gates remain secure, use leashes and harnesses as directed, and always keep a close eye on your pet's well-being. You'll receive regular photo and text updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving attentive, dependable care.

“Tamara is the best!! Takes amazing care of Benny and always does her best to enforce our rules for good behavior, thanks for loving him like he’s your own, T!!”

“Lexi replied quickly to my request, and was super friendly and prompt! She sent great pictures of our dog during her 30-minute check in. Thank you for taking care of our Willie!”

“Cesilia was great with Loki & Raider! When Cesilia came by for the meet & greet, the dogs seemed to like her right away. Loki enjoyed some playtime with his new stuffy during the drop ins. Raider is always shy around new people, but I think she will warm up to Cesilia with a few more drop ins and upcoming housesitting.”

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 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.

I'm looking to take on more clients and would love to meet you and your furry friends! I have experience with cats, dogs, birds, rodents, and chickens, but always willing to learn! I am very comfortable giving all kinds of medicine, and very comfortable with elderly and senior animals who need extra care. I also have experience taking care of pools & hot tubs with knowledge in how to balance chlorine levels accurately, and I pride myself in being incredibly detail and routine oriented. I am always comfortable taking care of a home including cleaning, yard work, etc. as well as taking care of your furry friends. I do work locally here in tricities, but often have nights free, I am flexible and can work with you and your pets needs, I am more than happy to work with you on getting you pet the best possible care! I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm, welcoming environment in every pet care experience. Your pet’s well being is always my top concern, and I take care to follow any routines, preferences, or special instructions you provide. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, so I communicate clearly, give regular updates, and treat your home and pet with the same respect I would my own. My goal is to create a stress free, secure environment where your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away!

About: Please don’t allow my reduced star rating to deter you from booking with me! I unfortunately took on a couple jobs that I shouldn’t have with dogs with behavior issues and the owners ended up blaming me although I provided the best care possible. :( I am now more diligent in asking the necessary questions before accepting a job. I do this because I love animals and also to earn very much needed extra income for my family of 8. I have had pets all my life including dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, hamsters, frogs, and turtles. I also grew up in a small farm town for a good part of my childhood and was around a lot of farm animals. I currently have 1 dog of my own who is friendly and playful, as well as kids who can help keep your fur babies active and having fun. We live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for walks. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can work with your needs. I have mostly open availability on the weekends and also for boarding or overnight care. I have a yard with room to run, although it isn’t fenced, we do have an outdoor kennel area and a dog run line. I’m also able to crate pets inside if needed. I can also take dogs for walks around our quiet, private neighborhood, or to the dog park for more room to run.

“Molly was timely, professional, and took good care of my pup! I love that she sent me so many pictures. Would definitely book with her again.”
