About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 4. I’ve had dogs, cats, and other small creatures. I do well with grooming, bathing, walks, and car rides. I’m currently doing online college. So I’m home all day! I have a fenced in yard for your fur babies. Hope to hear from you soon! I have a fenced in yard, leashes, to keep your fur baby safe. Plenty of access to walk and shade, and beds! Big or small
“Nancy to the rescue! One day into our trip I realized I had booked Nancy for the incorrect days. When I contacted her she she modified our reservation and went over the same day to take care of our girls. We appreciate her so much!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. My experience with most animals is pretty well. I use stern commands and also make sure that the pets that I take care of feel like they’re right at home. I am a full time teacher and on the weekends I bartend. I make sure that my dog gets well taken care of during the week by walking her before work or after work. I make sure that she gets played, fed and walked. I make sure my dog is well taken care of and I abide by whatever the client expects from me. Trust is huge in being able to care of someone’s precious baby.
“Amy was great with my pups and went out of her way to make sure everything was taken care of for the dogs. Thanks!”
“Melissa was so great with my cat Sapphire. She was able to administer her oral medication and her ear medication, which she hates. And Sapphire is scared of people she doesn't know, and Melissa was able to gain her trust within the quick drop in visit time. She was even super kind enough to bring in our packages that were dropped off while we were gone!”
About: Hello! I have grown up with pets my entire life and have spent the past couple of years learning how to care for cats and dogs. I have helped raise dogs from puppies to adulthood with everything from grooming to exercise. The breeds I have the most experience with are Labrador and Maltese dogs. For training, I have experience both in training my own dogs and carrying on the training set by the owners of the dogs I watch over. I love to exercise with pets and enjoy walking with them alongside playing with toys. I have no preferences when it comes to pets as I will happily care for and love them all! I work a part time job with a very flexible schedule so I am easily able to fit pet care into my weekly schedule alongside care for my own animals. I am experienced with both crate-trained and free roaming pets. I am also keen on pet welfare to ensure the animal’s physical safety and happiness.
About: I have had pets my whole life, but within the past two years I have gained great experience handling difficult dogs professionally and am currently a dog daycare attendant assisting with controlling fifty dogs per session! I have also begun helping with training classes on the weekends. I have two crazy girls myself so im sure can work with your pups and we can have an enriching exercise time. I have two rambunctious dogs that give me a full time job, but plenty of free time to give your pets the care they deserve while you take care of human business! I volunteer at the Humane Society, and seek out animal care opportunities (large and small) to fill my time. I give love and affection to every pet under my care! My two dogs go on many walks and so can yours! I take pets very seriously but not too serious for playtime. I have experience with reactivity, resource guarding, and redirection.
About: Hey there! My name is Sydney and I absolutely love all animals, big and small. I have dog sat and walked many dogs, from tiny toy poodles to massive Pharaoh hounds. I have two pups myself so I’m very familiar with unique behavioral needs/patterns of dogs. I also grew up in a home with 8 cats so am very comfortable with cats as well. I can walk your dog frequently or even run with them. No matter what kind of dog (or cat) you have, I'd love to take care of them. Feel free to contact me through phone/email! My work schedule is fairly flexible which allows me to meet you and your pets' needs, whether that involves overnight, mid-day or even extended care. I know how important it is to have someone you can really trust to leave your pets with when you go out of town. I will care for your pet in your home like they’re my own.
About: I’ve taken care of several dogs of every shape and size, from 2 at a time to 5. I’ve also raised a dog of my own since he was 6 weeks old. I have open availability at the moment so if u need a last minute sitter or work long hours I’d be happy to take your pet(s) for walks or stop by to let them use the bathroom and run around for a while I will be respectful of your house and keep it clean while taking good care of your pets, I will make sure your pet doesn’t wreck anything while I’m there and situated comfortably when I’m not
