Dog Walkers in Whelan, WA

“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: 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 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!

“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!!”

“Noah was able to help me out last minute with my two dogs. He was on time for the walk, and sent me a report card after to let me know how my dogs did. I know he must be patient, because my dogs are not the best outside walkers!”

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.

“Andie was so good with Bella! It’s very obvious she loves animals! Thank you for your help.”

About: I’ve spent years caring for animals of all kinds and would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own! I’m currently majoring in Animal Science/Pre-Veterinary Medicine at WSU and am interning at the Whitman County Humane Society. My experience includes owning and caring for a wide variety of animals, including frogs, chameleons, chinchillas, guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, ducks, dogs, and more. I currently have two dogs of my own—a Chihuahua mix and an Australian Cattle Dog mix. I volunteered at the Humane Society of Utah for two years and worked at a doggy daycare for nearly a year, where I learned a great deal about dog behavior, socialization, and training. Before moving to Washington, I also worked as a receptionist at an emergency veterinary hospital for 1.5 years. That experience gave me valuable knowledge of veterinary medicine and helped me become comfortable working with pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I genuinely love helping both pets and their people, and I enjoy putting my veterinary and animal care experience to good use. I have a huge soft spot for senior pets and understand the extra patience, attention, and care they often need. I’m open to caring for all kinds of animals and would love more opportunities to work with pets of every species, age, and condition. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my top priorities! Pet care fits very naturally into my schedule. I am currently a student at WSU and intern at the Whitman County Humane Society, which allows me flexibility throughout the week. I plan my schedule carefully so that pets receive consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s feeding, walks, medication administration, playtime, or simply spending quality time with them, I make sure every pet’s needs are met and that they feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. My top priorities are safety, trust, and communication. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely and maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I pay close attention to behavior changes, appetite, and overall wellbeing. With my experience working in veterinary medicine, animal shelters, and dog daycare, I am comfortable handling pets with different personalities, ages, and medical needs. I provide regular updates, photos, and prompt communication so owners can feel confident that their pets are receiving excellent care.

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.

About: Hi! I’m Zoe — a recent Washington State University grad, lifelong animal lover, and the type of person who will absolutely stop to say hi to every dog I pass 🐾 I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, fish, lizards, and more. I love getting to know each pet’s little personality and making sure they feel happy, safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet is super energetic and loves adventures or more of a cuddle-on-the-couch type, I’m happy to match their vibe! I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, medication routines, shy pets, and multi-pet households too. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure you get lots of updates, pictures, and peace of mind while you’re away My schedule is super open this summer! I nanny Tuesday–Friday from 2:30–5 PM and occasionally work a shift at the rec center, but outside of that I’m very flexible and easy to work with! I always want pets to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I know every pet has their own routine and personality, so I try to keep things as normal and stress-free for them as possible. Whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medications, or just hanging out and giving them attention, I’m happy to adjust to what your pet needs. I’m very respectful in people’s homes, communicative, and love sending photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and doing well. My goal is to make your pets feel like they’re with someone they already know and trust.

About: Back home in New Mexico I would house-sit and pet-sit any times I wasn't working in the animal hospital. I am very comfortable with any breed, size, and age. I am especially happy to take care of pets who may need medications or who are anxious and might need a slower introduction and care. I am currently on summer break from vet school so I have all the time in the world to focus on your pets care! I am extremely flexible with my hours I'm available. One of my dogs is especially anxious around other dogs so I will not be offering care in my home. I am more than happy to stay with your pet in the comfort of their own home as long as they need! I will match wherever your pet is at comfortability wise. If they want all the snuggles, great! If they just want me to sit with/near them, great! Their happiness is my priority!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. I have my own dog and am very adaptable when it comes to pet care. I’m an avid animal lover and am prepared to provide any kind of care that your pet needs. I’m currently looking for side jobs during the summer while I am in Pullman, so pet-sitting fits perfectly into my current lifestyle. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog-walking, and house-sitting. I’m experienced in training my own dog, so I am well-equipped to uphold boundaries and training for your pets. I’m prepared to respect any boundaries and rules you have for your dogs and/or cats. I’m also experienced with having a pup with some medical conditions that require medication and monitoring, so I’m prepared to handle pets that may have some medical needs.

About: We are a dog and cat loving family and lots of playtime is guaranteed. We live in a good sized apartment with lots of space to run and play, inside and out. I’ve had dogs for over 15 years, small and large, young and old. We own one cat named Daisy, who is very calm and non-aggressive. We are very flexible and will accommodate most requests (administer medication, special diet, separate dogs if needed, etc). Potty breaks every 2-4 hours. Any breed/age/size welcome as long as they get along with other dogs and are potty trained and not aggressive. I am a non-busy college student so at home weekdays and weekends. We do regular potty breaks as needed and visit the dog park daily. We have a large unfenced yard. We will keep your dog leashed when outside unless they have great recall and we have your permission to let them run freely. I am home 90% of the time so lots of time spend with the animals. We have a routine of potty breaks, walks, meals, play time, and rest. We can accommodate any reasonable special requests, aside from normal care, walks, etc. Just let me know how to best take care of your pet and we will make it happen.

“Extremely fast response even at such short notice.”

About: I have 3 dogs; before them, we had 2 cats. I’ve trained one service dog, 2 therapy dogs, and I was able to shave my Norwegian Forest Cats at home. I’ve had a dog almost my entire life, and clip their nails myself. I helped a breeder for a few years: with births and socializing the puppies. Most importantly, I just love dogs and cats. They always gravitate to me in a room. I have 5 dog training classes and multiple books on dog training and behavior in my repertoire. I actively train and play with my dogs in ways that keep them safe, well behaved, and enriched. It’s just fun! I am a Certified Positive Dog Trainer that worked at Petco. I am happy to teach private lessons or classes for you and your dog. Any age can learn new things! I free-lance from home, so I’m available more days than just the weekends. I can’t do earlier than 11am, but I can do later in the evening than some. I will follow your directions on care for your pets. It’s important to me, with my pets, that my directions are followed; so, I will do the same for you. So you don’t have to worry. I understand that each pet has their own needs. For example, I have to leash my golden to take her potty or she eats poop. Two of my dogs need specific meds at differing schedules. Because this is my daily life, it’s easy for me to follow directions to care for your pets. Give me written directions and they will be followed to a T. I know that it’s a matter of safety and health for your pet.
