About: Je travaille avec les animaux depuis 3 ans déjà dans un hôpital vétérinaire et je garde les animaux des membres de ma famille depuis que je suis toute petite. Je ne fais pas vraiment d’heure à la job plus qu’il faut les derniers temps alors j’ai du temps pour prendre soin des votre. Je retourne au étude cette automne, alors je vais avoir un peu de temps aussi pour en prendre soin vu que je n’est pas une grosse horaire chargée. Je n’es pas d’animaux dans l’appartement pour l’instant, mais je suis présente toute le temps quasiment et il y a des belles endroits proche de chez moi ou emporter votre animal pour se promener et c’est des endroits sécuritaires pour votre animal. J’ai pas de clôture, mais j’ai une grande cours pour que votre animal puisse courir comme bon lui semble. Je suis toujours prête aussi à intervenir en cas d’urgence pour être sur que votre animal soit bien.

About: Throughout my life, I’ve always surrounded myself with animals. Ive owned horses, dogs, and cats and also have extensive experience with rescue dogs who have endured trauma. I have yet to meet an animal that I haven’t befriended and continue to work closely with rescues and assist people in rehoming their pets. I just left my job as a social worker and am currently pursuing my MSW. I am looking for a part time gig to help get me through school, so my schedule is pretty open. :) I normally go for a morning walk with my own rescue pup and then hit the yoga mat and get some school work done. My schedule is very flexible. I have a rescue dog who does not get along with other doggos (disappointing but we respect his boundaries). Therefore, I wouldn’t be able to house your doggo at my home but open to house sitting and for advance notice clients, I can have my father watch my dog for a week or so.

About: While I don't have any special training with animals, I like to listen to what the owner and the animal needs for care. I genuinely love hanging out with them. I love how excited dogs get when I walk into a house, or how free they feel and excited they are for a walk. Or when cats rub up against you and love getting pets. Pets are like people, they're all unique and have their own personality and needs. That's what makes pets awesome, how different they all are. I'm currently working a few hours each week from home, so I have plenty of free time to hang out with pups, or kitties, or take dogs for a much need walk or bathroom break. Well that depends on the animal, because each pet is different. how comfortable they are with me, how many times do I need to be introduced to them, how the owner would like me to care for them. Theres a lot of factors that come into play, so I am willing to do what the owner would like to be done for their own pet.

“Thanks so much!!!”

About: I am an experienced dog owner. I have 2 special needs dogs at home that I love with all of my heart! I am especially experienced with blind dogs, puppies with a lot of energy, senior dogs, dogs with anxiety, and dogs with epilepsy. I would be a great boarding option for someone that has a dog who requires medication or extra attention or needs. My home is set up in a way that is ideal for dogs with vision or mobility issues. I am also experienced with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I grew up with animals and have had many job positions involving animals including being a vet-tech assistant and also being a petcare associate. I would also be a great choice for someone who needs a dog to be walked for longer than 30 minutes or a dog that would go on a short run. I am very knowledgable about dogs and other animals and would love the opportunity to meet your furry friend! If you are looking to board more than one dog, we can work something out price-wise! I am available to watch your pets virtually any day of the week! I should also mention that I have a lot of experience with other types of animals (especially reptiles and farm animals). If you are going away and need someone to stop in to care for any type of animal that you have I would be more than happy to help:) I will have a fenced in yard shortly! Our house is secluded and is on a private road. I would be able to walk your fur-child on a road with almost no cars! I also send A LOT of pictures of your fur-child throughout their stay with me to put you at ease.

About: J'ai eu la chance de grandir autour d'animaux, donc prendre soin de chiens et de chats m'est naturel et instinctif (et me comble de bonheur). Il y a 3 ans, j'ai adopté mon propre chien. Je faisais des cours en ligne à ce moment-là, alors j'étais disponible pour prendre soin d'elle, l'élever, la faire jouer et bouger et évidemment, lui donner plein d'amour. Peu de temps après avoir terminé mes études, je suis tombée en arrêt de maladie, et depuis que je suis remise, je travaille à distance, alors ma petite princesse n'a jamais manqué d'attention. Mon chien est de nature extrêmement anxieuse et dépendante affective, alors je l'ai élevée en prenant compte de ces aspects. J'ai fait beaucoup de recherches pour être en mesure de lui offrir les meilleurs soins possibles considérant son tempérament, et je me suis aussi adaptée à elle et à comment elle réagissait à certaines situations. Avant, elle était terrorisée par les inconnus et chaque fois que quelqu'un cognait à la porte de la maison ou même qu'on croisait un piéton lorsqu'on prenait une marche, elle jappait pendant plusieurs minutes sans arrêt. Après plusieurs heures de pratique et de la patience, j'ai finalement réussi à l'entraîner pour qu'elle ne jappe plus, et les inconnus ne lui créent plus autant d'anxiété qu'avant. Aussi, avant, c'était très difficile de la promener en laisse, elle était tellement stressée qu'elle ne faisait que tirer de toutes ses forces, mais je l'ai entraînée pour qu'elle marche au pied, et maintenant, c'est beaucoup plus agréable pour nous deux. Quand j'avais 12 ans, j'ai secouru un chaton abandonné alors qu'elle n'avait qu'un mois environ, alors je me suis informée pour bien m'en occuper, comment la nourrir avant son sevrage, quelles sont les conditions environnementales dans lesquelles elle doit se développer, etc. Elle est maintenant une chatte de 9 ans en pleine santé et parfaitement comblée. Depuis le début de mon adolescence, ma famille et mes amis comptent sur moi pour garder leurs animaux. J'aime profondément tous les animaux sans exception, peu importe leur tempérament, leur taille et leur âge, et prendre soin d'eux me comble de bonheur. Rencontrer de nouveaux animaux et créer un lien de confiance avec eux est un véritable privilège. Je travaille à distance, alors je suis disponible en tout temps pour m'occuper de vos compagnons! Je suis habituée de m'occuper de mon chien à temps plein, alors ma routine tourne autour des besoins des animaux. Chez moi, j'ai une grande cour arrière clôturée et une chienne toute douce et amicale pour tenir compagnie à vos chiens. Je vais promener les chiens deux fois par jour et on passe beaucoup de temps à bouger, à jouer et à se coller. Évidemment, je vais m'adapter aux habitudes et aux besoins de vos chiens pour m'assurer qu'ils soient confortables. À votre domicile, en plus de prendre soin de vos animaux, je ne pourrai pas m'empêcher de prendre soin de votre maison. Elle sera probablement plus propre à votre retour qu'à votre départ. Évidemment, ma priorité sera toujours vos animaux, mais je prendrai du temps pour m'assurer que votre maison brille à votre arrivée. Je suis également très active et je passe beaucoup de temps à l'extérieur, alors si votre chien a besoin de bouger et de jouer dehors, il va être servi! S'il est plutôt une grosse patate, je suis capable de faire ça aussi.

About: Aside from having a family dog for 15 years, I have house/pet-sitting experience working for family members and close friends since 2007. I have never met a pet I didn’t adore. I’m self-employed, which means very flexible hours. Weekends are not out of the question with notice. I always try to find ways to make scheduling work. I will make sure that your loving companions are safe, fed, walked (if applicable), loved and attended to for the entire duration of my visit.
