“This was our second time asking Shelley to watch over our cats and she is just awesome! Having someone who is dependable and caring for our cats is a huge relief when having to leave town. Thanks again Shelley!”
“I had forgotten to pay a past due water bill before leaving the country. At some point, Morgan noticed a red-tag shut-off notice on my door, and was thoughtful enough to alert me to a potentially problematic situation. I appreciate her taking the initiative here. I could tell that my cat, Teepah, warmed up to her right away. Much appreciated!”
“We loved Ashli and will definitely work with her again. She was kind, gentle, and sweet to our 3 kitties while staying with them over a weekend. Excellent with sending photos and a really wonderful human!”
“Corra was great! She checked in on my cat and made sure she had everything she needed while I was away. She played with her and sent me the cutest pictures! I would rebook with Corra again.”
“Loved having Phoebe take care of my two kittens while I was away. I asked for a drop in every day and she gave me very detailed notes and sent so many pictures and videos. She followed all my instructions and kept everything clean. She even came up with a creative idea to stop the kittens from plugging out the automatic pet feeder! Definitely will book her again next time I'm away.”
“I was very worried about getting Piper a sitter while we were on vacation with all her medications and her age. Apryl did an amazing job and was so detailed and considerate the entire time; she loves animals and we fell in love with how well she interacted with our kitty. I trust her with Piper. She does such a good job with the Rover cards and makes sure to show you and let you know how your animal is doing, what they did that day, how they did when she visited, and if they have an issues or may need extra support. I have a very hard time trusting other people with my Piper, especially with her progressing age and illnesses, and Apryl earned that trust. I will continue to support her and would highly recommend her, especially if you're worried for your older pets or pets that require extra medication/supplement care!”
“Angel is reliable, punctual, and keeps things clean and tidy. She took excellent care of our pets in our absence and maintained excellent communication, which gave me great peace of mind.”
About: I grew up around dogs and I love them, my parents started a dog breeding business and helping them with that was a genuinely beautiful and fun experience growing up in Washington. having lived in New York for some time, I got to experience walking dogs professionally on this app. I moved back to Washington and gained a lot of experience caring for puppies and dogs of all ages from 9lb all the way up to 180lb. Then I moved down to California where I found my lovely wife in Santa Barbara and I continued caring for dogs down there. Now happily married and moved back to pullman Washington we are caring for our beautiful Bordercollie, Ezra. I prefer a meet and greet in a public location but im open to visiting your home if that is what you would prefer. the safety of You, Your Animals and Myself are top priority and communication is key so I will be more then happy to do my part on all of those fronts. Stay Safe! I'm free basically all the time as this is all I'm doing for work right now. So you give me the time that works best for you and I'll see if I can make it work for me. I'm the oldest of 5 and looking after things is in my nature. I'll always do my absolute best to take care of your dog or cat as if it where a part of my own family. Im available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday for dog walking. I might have other jobs through out my work week so my schedule can vary through out the year a little bit. While house sitting I make sure to follow the owners instructions and take their dog for up to 3 walks a day. I keep their water bowl full and their schedule as normal as possible. +as many pictures as you want.
“Alexis is fantastic! I was nervous to leave my two cats with a stranger as they can by shy but I had complete trust in Alexis the whole time. She sent updates with pictures and definitely went out of her way to make sure they were happy and comfortable.”
About: I've worked with animals since childhood—raising chickens and cats, dog walking, pet sitting, and caring for neighbors' pets. I once cared for a family’s cat and chickens for a full week. My skills include feeding, walking, playing, administering pills, and recognizing different animal behaviors. Recently I also completed Red Cross’s online Cat and Dog First Aid class. Pet care is a side job I’m wanting to pick up. Currently I volunteer at animal shelters and I will be balancing pet care with my new job and continued classes. I'm kind, firm, and open-minded. I enjoy working with animals because they're intelligent, unique, and always teaching me something new. I’m very attentive to animals' needs, starting gently and only becoming firm when necessary, always respecting owner guidelines. I take notes and double-check instructions to ensure excellent care.
About: I feel I'm a good fit as I love to be able to spent time with pets and give them the same care I'd give my own I'm currently working full time but I can do early morning or evenings with some weekend visits you just need to contact me first but I can make accommodations I care for them like I would with any other pet with love and careful care to ensure they are safe in the home they are I.
About: I've taken care of a variety of animals for as long as I can remember, from exotics, to livestock, to dogs and cats. I currently work at a dog training facility as an administrator, and part of my job still requires experience in the managing and care of dogs of all size and temperament. My position at a dog training facility, allows me to bring my own dog in with me as well as add flexibility into my work schedule seeing as I make the employee schedule week to week. I am a highly active person, and go on walks/hike on a daily basis, and would love to bring your dog along with me. My own personal dog is also sociable with other dogs, meaning he is more than happy to keep your dog company! I am always open to setting up a meet and greet beforehand, too. I have always revolved my life around animals. My work engrains pet care into my mindset, and when I come home it's no different. I am familiar with animal behavior, as well as the basics of training. If you have any special routine you'd like to implement with your dog while you're, away I'd be more than happy to do so. My own dog is crate trained, and therefore is crated when I have to make errands away from home. I do have A/C in my household, so overheating is not a concern. I make it a point to not let dogs go without a potty break for longer than 4-8 hours at a time, max. Anytime dogs are playing together in my home, they will always be supervised :)

I have seen him be excellent with little breeds including Toy Poodles and Lhasa Apsos as well as the large breeds including Great Danes, St Bernards, Huskies, and German Shepherds. He cares about them getting the attention, time, and love and laughter that they need. He will quickly become a dogs favorite and your go-to man for their care.”
