Pet Sitting Barneveld

About: I've taken care of all types of dogs for over 21 years. I'll treat any dog as if it was my own. I have a large backyard in the country on a private road that is a self contained peninsula right on the banks of the West Canada Creek. With miles of well maintained walking paths through the woods and on the Creek's bank, there is no shortage of places to go on adventures, all without having to worry about anyone else. If I ever need to leave, you can rest assured that you're pup won't be lonely, as my retired parents also live just a quarter mile away. My dad, Steve, is especially helpful, and is always there to come down and stay with your pet, let the them out/walk them. He's happy to meet you and your dog(s) during a meet and greet beforehand as well. I recently was 100% working from home. However, my jobs now requires me to be in office Mon-Fri from 7:30-4:00. My dad, Steve, will step in and make sure your dog gets one-on-one special care while I'm away. He's retired and lives just 1/4 mile away. He's a character himself, and has been my second hand man from the start. Sleep well knowing that his animal experience, and understanding of dogs is just as good as mine. If needed, I have indoor cameras to monitor, and even speak with both your pup if both me my dad happen to be away. So nothings ever going to catch me off guard. All dogs have their own unique needs, so I'm going to rely on you and I will ask you for any specifics your pet(s) might need. I will tailor my care based on your input. Just to illustrate both ends of the spectrum , if you want me to crate your dog, I can do that. I'm also totally fine giving free reign to my house if your dog is trustworthy not to do any damage. If their are worries about your pet getting into anything and doing any property damage, I'm very diligent in making sure I remove anything that could cause an issue (including putting up gates, providing stimulation toys, and making sure there is nothing he/she can get into food wise). If you want to board your pet with me, typically I'll do a meet and greet at my place to introduce myself to you and your pet(s), as well as show you my property both inside my house as well as my large countryside property. If your not boarding at my house, depending on where you live, I can meet at your place to meet you and your dogs. I know what a dog with separation anxiety can do, and know how expensive the damages can be. Thankfully, my retired parents live just up the road and can make sure your pup isn't alone for anymore than a few hours at most during the workweek. My dad is still very active and great with dog walks. So if for some reason I am stuck at work that day, my dad can come down to visit your pet, take her for a walk, or just keep company. Lastly, I have an 15 year old female Terrier mix that stays with my retired parents just up the road, she's very sweet with other dogs and cats, and is only 18 lbs. If I have to leave your pup alone for a few hours, she can provide company to your dog as well, supervised by my dad, if wanted. This is totally up to you, though.

About: I have a deep love for animals, which makes me an excellent choice for house sitting, dropping in, or walking your dog. My passion for animals drives me to provide the best care possible, ensuring that your pets feel loved and safe while you’re away. I understand their needs and am committed to maintaining their routines, providing plenty of exercise, and giving them the attention they deserve. You can trust that I’ll treat your pets with the same care and affection that I would give my own. I also have experience in other/exotic animal care as I am a rat mom! I’m comfortable providing care for any rodent or other animals besides dog/cat! I work full time, 8-4 M,TH, F, and 12-8 on Tuesdays & 10-6 Wednesdays. I have no problem staying/house sitting throughout my work week. No issues with stopping by before or after work, or doing overnights! And weekends I’m free! No need to worry about my pets, my partner will be able to care for them while I care for yours! I respect you, your fur baby & your home. I’d keep your home clean and safe if I were stopping in/doing over nights. I wouldn't just stop in, I’d provide play time, enrichment, lots of pets & snuggles, and love! When house sitting I am also comfortable with making sure your home stays clean/tidy & doing any other daily tasks such as plant watering, taking trash out, or any other small requests while I stay with your pet!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for almost my entire life. I got my first puppy when I was 5 years old and have loved dogs ever since. I’ve taken care of dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, taking the dogs for walks, feeding them, and giving them lots of love and attention. I’ve cared for all different breeds and have cared for puppies, adults, senior, and even disabled dogs. I’ve also cared for dogs with anxiety and rescue dogs who sometimes need patience and a little extra care and attention I currently work from home running my own business and have a flexible schedule. My availability is open and able fit most schedules. I am available weekdays and weekends. I offer a free meet and greet to new clients. This is where we get to know each other and we talk through your pets needs and what you are looking for in a dog sitter/walker. We will talk about your pets likes and dislikes, any medications or special needs they have and any other information I need to know to provide the best care possible for your pet. I always treat every client’s home with the same respect I treat my own and I treat every dog I meet as if they were my own. Your pets will get lots of love and attention and I believe that you know your pet best so I make sure to follow all instructions from clients. I maintain situational awareness at all times, this helps ensure the safety of everyone including your pets. I do my best to send photos and updates during every visit so you can have peace of mind that your fur babies are in good hands.

About: I grew up with dogs in the house and have always helped care for them. I honestly really miss having them around and would love to help care for your animals. I have more experience with dogs than cats, but am open to helping out with cats as well. I plan to follow each animal's specific feeding, walking, and medication schedule. Just let me know the details, and I'll stick to the routine the animal is accustomed to. I ethically believe animals should be treated with respect and care. Therefore, I'll treat your animal as if it were my own, with love and care. I plan to follow whatever type of feeding, walking, medication management schedule each animal has.
