About: I have fully trained two puppies on my own. I have been pet sitting since high school to make extra money! I love animals and treat them how I would my own child. I am currently in trade school and I have classes for a couple hours each morning. I am mostly always free anytime other than that. I keep pets on their regular feeding and restroom schedules, depending on the owners instructions. I like to make sure pets feel very at home and safe with me.
About: I've been around dogs and cats my whole life. I started caring for other people's pets when I was 12 yrs old, maybe younger. During highschool, I worked at a horse farm. During college, I worked at a local veterinary hospital for almost 10 years. I'm currently a stay-at-home momma to my almost 3yr old daughter and a wife. While she's in school for half days, I can care for your fur babies in the mornings and in the afternoons. We will play ball, go on walks, play tug-a-war, get lots of belly rubs and ear scratches, do some tricks for some yummy treats. If your pup gets scared of storms, I will make sure to stay with them until the storm passes or you return. I will lay with them to help calm them. They can sit on me if needed, whatever works for them to feel comfortable.
About: I have grown up with pets in my home and I believe there is no better friend than a pet! I have experience house sitting, drop-in visits to check/feed/let out pets and even get the client’s mail. I also have a lot of experience pet sitting dogs, cats, and love taking them on walks and playing outside. As an out of state student, I miss my own pets so being able to take care of someone else’s pets is so special to me and would bring me so much joy! I have been told that I am a very loyal, dependable, and loving person. You can always count on me to be there when I am needed and I will take the best care of your pet. I currently coach soccer a few evenings a week and have games on the weekends. I also work as a Certified Medical Assistant everyday Mon-Fri, I have some select weekends that I’m happy to pet/house sit and some evenings during the week as well. I prefer to take care of pets at the clients home and I would do this by spending quality time with them, taking them on walks, and making sure all of their basic needs are met.
About: I’ve worked with all kinds of animals from playful puppies and shy rescues to senior pets who need extra care and patience. I started out volunteering at animal shelters, then gained hands-on experience as a vet assistant and kennel tech, where I helped with feeding, meds, and basic care for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve also helped on my uncle’s farm, caring for everything from livestock to barn cats. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for many families and treat every animal like they’re my own safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently in college and part of a sorority, but I still have plenty of time for pet care throughout the week. My class schedule is flexible, and I plan ahead to make sure every pet gets the attention they need. I’m available most mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I always make time for walks, playtime, and check-ins. Pet care is something I love, so I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, their safety and comfort always come first. I make sure their space is clean, secure, and calm. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, and preferred walking routes. I take time to build trust with each pet so they feel relaxed and cared for. I also send regular updates and photos to keep you in the loop and give you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: While not with your pet, it might cause them to suffer from separation anxiety. I take pride in being a professional animal sitter to help people and their loved ones when they can’t be there for them. I’m also an assistant dog trainer, and pet owner myself. I’m available 24/7 and 7 days a week. When sitting for your furry loved ones I will provide a text message summarizing each visit as well as a photo. I offer one free animal visitation with you! This provides a proper introduction not only for us, but also the animals and their natural environment.

Whether it is a family member, friend, or a new acquaintance, I am always ready and willing to love on a good puppers. I love every dog I meet and enjoy experiencing each and every different personality that comes along. While I am not at a place in life to have my own dog, I want to take every opportunity to feed my pupper fever. I am part time with a lot of flexibility in my days. I have some commitments that are generally consisteng but I am able to arrange my schedule if I know about needs before the weeks starts. I will respect any needs of your personal space and make sure to clean up if there are any accidents or problems. I like to know where any cleaning supplies are so that I can do this properly.
