About: I’ve taken care of 10 dogs most of my life. My parents love animals so i’ve always been around different kind of animals. They currently have 3 bunnies, guinea pigs, 9 cocker spaniels and 1 lab, and 2 cats. When they are away i am the main person to take care of them since they also foster and i’m the oldest kid in the family. I really know how to care for animals. I had a senior dog , izzy who had cancer and i did my best to make her feel cared for through the time she had left. I really take my time caring for dogs with special needs and who are older, they need fun and love. My favorite thing is to play ball with them and i have lots of toys that they can choose from to play with 😁 I’m 18 i’m currently working part time but i make my own shedule as needed, so i have a bunch of time to play with your pups! My girlfriend also is living with me and she loves animals. she’s had dogs, cats, fish, horses, and other animals that she’s taken care of. i am available monday-sunday for most of the day. if you have an emergency or just going on a vacation i will always be able to care for your pups. I have a fenced yard, i have a cocker spaniel and a border collie mix. They are very sweet and love having a new friend to play with.
About: I worked at Pet Supplies Plus, and I was one of "their best employees," said my manager! I've loved all animals since the day I was born and im so excited to meet your special pets! Pet care fits into my week pretty easily since I have a flexible schedule. I like using my free time to pet sit because I genuinely enjoy being around animals, it doesn't feel like work to me. Whether it's walking a dog in the morning or doing a check-in visit in the evening, I find it really rewarding and a nice break from the usual routine. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and secures. I pay close attention to routines, follow any special care instructions, and take the time to build trust with each pet so they feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away.

About: Dogs are my passion! I’ve cared for puppies all the way to senior dogs. I grew up caring for a Cocker Spaniel, a Poodle Mix, and two cats. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pup! I can provide drop in care, walks, and playtime for your fur babies anytime between 11am-3pm on Mondays. If you require other days, just let me know and may be able to make adjustments to make it work. I can provide any care needed for your pets, from carrying your pet up and down steps, administering medicines, walking, and playing with your fur baby.
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of pets since I was 12 years old for friends, family, and neighbors. I have a knack for animal care and get along with all pets. I’m currently working part-time so any care will be done between shifts any day of the week. I have a flexible schedule to work with the needs of most pets. I will follow any instructions you give me regarding your pet. If this is walking, crating, or even training consider it done. I understand that younger dogs will need more attention, especially if your working on training, and I’m prepared to put in the time so you can relax for a few days. I’m an active communicator and will message you with any questions I may have as well as send you those photos of your fur baby to ease any anxiety you may have leaving them.
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and reptiles for over ten years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I currently work a full-time job that has a flexible schedule so that I'm able to take care of your pets when needed. I am free throughout the week, and I have no problem in taking last minute jobs. Before taking a job I personally like to meet with clients to discuss everything that is needed to care for their pets, and will always update owners on anything that happens while watching after their fur babies.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 8 but began house sitting when I turned 16. I have experienced taking care of dogs, cats , horses and even chickens. while looking after your fur babies they will be given excellent care as if they were my own. A love to photograph animals so with my care come a free mini photoshoot. With your permission of course! My 1 year old black lab absolutely loves to play with others. So if your pup needs a buddy to burn off some energy she’s your pup . I work 6:30am to 2:30pm but I’m free the rest of the time to do pop in or walks. If I’m staying at your house I bring in my own food and drink. And stay with your fur baby the whole time. If I’m in home sitting I do a minimum of 3 30 min walks a day. 1 before work ,after work and before bed. And depending on your fur babies energy I’ll add in extra play time if needed. I’m stuck to strictly feeding schedules so whatever time you have them eat I’ll make sure to do they same. To help keep them in their normal routine. If I’m doing a drop in I can go walks /runs for about an hour unless you need me to take them for more time.
