About: Ive taken care of my neighbors cats and walked other friends dogs multiple times and I've always loved all kinds of animals I've also taken care of my brothers snake before as well I'm available to walk, drop in or even house sit all kinds of animals. I can do it mainly during the day but I can also do house sitting that requires over night stays I can't have other dogs to come over to my house due to having 2 other dogs and 3 cats in the house so I can't bring them here. But I have plenty of experience caring for them in other environments

“We can't say enough good things about JT! Our dogs absolutely loved him. JT sent regular updates with lots of pictures, showing our pups being relaxed and having fun. It really put us at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation without any worries. Knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for made all the difference. JT truly is the best. Highly recommend!”

About: I've had cats and dogs most of my life. Recently, I only have a kitten at home currently, but I've cared for all ages and sometimes even special needs animals. I have my kitten on a timed eating schedule with wet food to help her get all the nutrients she needs. She also has toys for stimulation, and I play with her daily to increase her stamina and decrease pet depression. For cats, I keep them indoors and make sure they have enough stimulation in their environment. For dogs, it would depend on the weather, the backyard setup, and the specific care that each different individual animal may need.

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. I have lots of experience taking care of them, including feeding, walking and above all love. I am currently working part time. I am switching between the Carbondale and Cape Girardeau area. I have lots of free time to deliver pet care to a wide area. I'm flexible and understand that pet owners have specific needs for their animals, and I will cater towards that. For dog walking specifically, I know safe places for walks to ensure your pets safety. Additionally I have a pet seat belt in my car if needed, I am well prepared.
