About: I’m easy to talk to and flexible with my availability. I understand life happens and you may need care suddenly or cancel care unexpectedly. I can walk and feed 2-3 times/day. I have experience administering medicine to senior and puppy dogs. I have been a dog owner to a corgi who lived a happy 16 years and more recently to a pitbull mix puppy. I can handle various food preparations, energy levels and routines. Since moving to Michigan, I have 5 years experience dog sitting for 4 families in Traverse City during holiday breaks, weekend overnights, and unexpected potty breaks. I keep houses very clean and tidy anytime I stay overnight. I send daily pics of their animals, communicate clearly everyday that I spend with their fur babies, and respond quickly. I have a degree in Sociology, Multiple subjects K-8 Teaching credential from California and Michigan, 12 units of art from community colleges, and 20 years experience working with children and animals. I used to only be available for holiday breaks and weekends while teaching but I have recently been open to anytime to set my own schedule. Since I do have a puppy, I would ideally have a set weekly or daily routine with you so I could take care of my dog in between. I am open to what your needs would be first. I can crate train, feed, walk, replenish water, play, socialize, train with treats and administer medicine when needed in your home. My apartment building only allows my pet so I can't offer boarding at the moment.

About: I am a 37 year old animal lover who works in the service industry with a flexible schedule and adventurous lifestyle. My dog, Kiteboarding and camping are my top 3 passions in life. I volunteer for the rescue I got my dogs from and walk many of them on Monday's. Serving is great but doesn't always pay the bills and I have several friends who have loved sitting through rover, and I love dogs and cats so it seemed like a no brainer. I hope to meet you and your furry companions soon! Tuesday through Saturday I work at 3pm so can only do mornings/early afternoons those days. Sundays/Mondays my schedule rotates but I have room typically for one drop in/two walks before or after my shifts those days, I just am sometimes scheduled in the morning until around 430. I can care for your baby however you feel most comfortable and don't mind special requests or requirements, whatever keeps them safe and happy! I have experience with all sizes and ages of dogs.

About: I’ve owned and cared for my own pets since I was 10. Taking care of animals is my main passion. I used to work at a dog boarding kennel and was in the FFA at the career tech center for a year in high school, where I raised baby sheep and grew chickens. I am currently studying to be a zoologist where I hope to go into a career of taking care of animals! I own many pets myself, so I care for them daily and once a week I do a deep clean of all their cages, tanks and enclosures. Caring for animals is part of my daily life routine. I am attentive and have always been good at understanding what animals need/ want. I will never leave ur pets side unless they want alone time. I can play for hours with your puppy or just sit and cuddle your cat or dog. I really enjoy being around animals so it’s a treat just to meet new furry friends.

About: Cat person for life. I currently have four, as well as an Australian shepherd. I used to travel a lot for work, so I understand how stressful it can be making sure the four legged babies have everything they need when away. I’m here to help any way I can, whether it’s giving a medication or helping with the potty stuff! I recently left a demanding corporate job and currently am very flexible - morning, evening, during the week or on the weekend! **Due to several issues with owners not being on time for drop off or pick up, I want to add that when accepting a booking, the time is very important as well as the day as other appointments may be on my schedule that day. It is very important that the drop off and pick up times selected are accurate for smooth transitions.** I would care for the pet as instructed by the owner. I understand all animals have their own personality and preferences and their owners know best. I also want the owners to feel comfortable knowing their pet is in good hands while they are away!

About: I have been a pet owner my entire life. I love pets of every kind. Working with cats and dogs on training for many years. Experienced with giving medication. I work part time so I have lots of availability to help with your pets. I can visit before or after I have work. And it helps that I am available on most weekends! I have a dog and 2 cats and they are spoiled. Rotten. I have gotten my dog lots of extra training and I work with my animals all the time. So they're always tired out by the time it's bedtime and everyone gets to sleep.

About: Since I can remember I’ve been around pets. At one point in time I had 6 dogs and 3 cats! I understand body language and an animals needs. I believe animals are the best things on the planet and they can do no wrong! I’m currently a full time student pursuing an aviation maintenance career! I’m at school 7am-3pm Mon-Fri. Although, I can leave school whenever to take of your pets! I have a fenced in yard with lots of space for pets to run around! My personal pets are dog and cat friendly. I have multiple crates and carriers if need be!

About: I grew up on a farm and so animals have been a part of my life forever! I’ve had several years of paid pet sitting experience with consistent clients who have trusted me in their home to watch their loved ones while away. I’m active and engaged with all animals I care for and respectful and reliable. I work from home so I have added flexibility. I’m also child free so have more time to care for pets in the evenings and weekends. I have provided care for pets and provided home oversight while owners are away for many years. I am a respectful and attentive caregiver and ensure safety and comfort for your pets and personal privacy and space for your home.
