About: As someone who has traveled a lot I understand the need to find trustworthy care for our precious pets. I would love to help ease your mind knowing they would be well cared for. My schedule and lifestyle are very flexible. I have the freedom to be home or gone from home as often as needed to care for your pet. I have a fenced in yard with lots of room to roam.

About: Hey there! My name is Abbie and all 4 years of high school, I was enrolled in the vet program. I worked at a dog groomer/bakery in high school as well. I cared for the dogs, helped the groomers when needed and watched the dogs up front when the owner requested. I also have worked at a dog and cat boarder/daycare. Every morning I would take them outside to the bathroom and let them run around. I fed them on schedule and gave meds as well. In the daycare section, I did the same as well as play with them outside. I would also give them pool time upon the owners request in the summer. For the kitties, I would feed them and give meds. I also would have playtime with them. I have had multiple dogs and cats growing up and took on the responsibilities from a young age. My favorite part was taking them on walks/playtime. I am a huge animal person and would love to be trusted with your furry baby's! I have open availability! My work schedule allows me to work around YOUR needs. I am very flexible so I’m able to accommodate to anything needed! I have a friendly kitty to keep your baby/babies company. I care for pets by giving them lots of attention and love. I am always around so they will never be left alone!

About: Hello! My name is Jira. I do my best to give pets the best care and experience I can provide. I value safety, enrichment, exercise and most of all, fun!

I have been with pets all throught our lives. I can administer oral medications if it’s needed and will be willing to give baths if asked. I would love to walk your fur baby and shower them with love. I treat the clients pet like they are my own.

I will make sure that your pets will have enough water and food for the rest of their stay. I have lots of dog beds and a crate that your pet can crash in whenever they want.

About: As a devoted pet parent to four dogs and a cat, I bring genuine passion and hands-on experience to pet sitting. While I'm new to professional pet care, my daily life revolves around understanding different animal personalities and needs. I've managed my pack through various challenges including training, health issues, and creating harmony between multiple pets. I understand the importance of consistent routines, proper feeding schedules, and each animal's unique need for attention and exercise. I treat every pet as I do my own - with patience, attentiveness, and plenty of love. My personal experience has taught me to recognize signs of stress or discomfort in animals, and I'm committed to providing the same level of care and comfort to your pets that I give my own furry family members. I work from home every two weeks and in the office for one, and then I am off on weekends! My normal schedule is from 7:30-4:00. My Approach to Pet Care: Safety, Trust & Environment In Your Home: When caring for your pets in your home, I respect your space and your pet's routine. I arrive at scheduled times and follow your detailed instructions carefully. Before you leave, I'll request a thorough walkthrough to understand feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise requirements, and any special considerations for your pets. Your home remains exactly as you left it - I clean up thoroughly after each visit and ensure all doors and windows are secure. I provide daily updates with photos so you can see your happy pets and enjoy peace of mind while away. In My Home (For Day Visits or Overnight Stays): My pet-friendly home is designed with safety as the top priority. All indoor areas are pet-proofed with secure fencing in the outdoor space. I maintain separate areas where pets can retreat for quiet time if needed, especially important for animals who aren't used to sharing space. New pets are gradually introduced to my animals under careful supervision to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe. I follow your pet's familiar routine as closely as possible, using their own food, bedding, and toys to create a sense of security. With both options, I prioritize creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel secure whether they're in familiar surroundings or enjoying a "home away from home" experience in mine.
