About: I began volunteering at my city's animal shelter at the age of thirteen, dog walking, and I quickly began taking on more responsibilities at the shelter from there. By the time I was fifteen, I was volunteering in vet services, helping with adoption events, and doing critter care, where I socialized and took care of small animals like rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, and mice. During my time as a volunteer, I began a veterinary assisting program. I spent five days a week providing care to dogs, cats, horses, and rodents while learning proper medical procedures. Within that care, I attentively followed tailored feeding and kenneling instructions meant to keep the animals safe and healthy. Through my time at my tech school, I gained my OSHA 10 healthcare-focused certification, my HIV, Bloodborne Pathogen certification, and I graduated with my veterinary assisting certification. After graduating, I began working at my city's animal shelter as a Student Day Laborer and Veterinary Assistant, as well as pet sitting for people living in and around my city. At the animal shelter, I handled dogs with various behavioral challenges, including nipping, jumping, barking, pulling, lunging, and multiple kinds of reactivity. I maintained a clean and tidy environment by cleaning up many kinds of bodily fluids and parasites to ensure the comfort and health of the animals. During my time there, I fostered several dogs from the euthanasia list to provide them with proper enrichment and training to make them less frustrated and more adoptable. I have experience providing medical care and enrichment to puppies as young as three weeks old and senior dogs. I am a college student, but I am currently on summer break, so I am available every day except for Thursdays and Fridays. I am very flexible with my schedule when it comes to work and am willing to work with people on timing. I am capable of providing medical care and following specific feeding instructions that have been provided to me by the owner. I provide appropriate enrichment and exercise for different age ranges and breeds.

“Katherine is incredibly reliable and a great communicator! Working with her has been so easy and my critters are always left happy and well-loved.”

About: I have experience in vet med, so I will be able to keep a detail-oriented eye on your pet's health and wellbeing. If it comes to it, I can take your beloved companion to the vet clinic while you're out of town and see to any at-home care they need, no problem. I currently make my income entirely through app-based freelance work, making it easy to interweave schedules. I can check in on your pet, go out and work for 2-3 hours, then come back again. ADHD tendencies serve me well in this situation-- I can focus on a show, a book, or working on my laptop, while still being peripherally aware of what your pet is doing, and taking time to check in and give lots of scritches and belly-rubs. I live in a shared housing situation, so I have plenty of experience leaving an environment that is not my own exactly as I found it.

“Lily followed all my instructions!”

“She is awesome with my dog, very patient with him being so excitable. She walked him, played ball with him and even took him to stalk birds which are three of his favourite things to do! She also was comfortable with carrying his water bottle because he is a thirsty boy. My dog came back tired! Recommend 100% Will book again for more walks! thanks Noelle!”

About: I’ve spent my entire life growing up around many animals and always being taught to treat each one like family. I’ve taken care of many types of animals, owned multiple exotic animals of my own, co-ran a pet sitting business where at one point I was watching 13+ animals at the same time, and am comfortable with every breed, from the never ending energy of a border collie to taking it slow with a senior dog. I am a young, responsible and professional adult, I love the outdoors and taking dogs out into it, I am someone who thrives in an organized environment and am patient and more than willing to work with animals that need to build trust. My top priority is always the safety and happiness of the pets I take care of, always ensuring they are getting the mental stimulation they need as well as knowing their behavior and being able to accordingly keep them in situations they are comfortable and happy in. I work part time as a baker, I have most availability during the week M-Th, but am available most weekend afternoons/evenings. I love getting out into nature and am very willing to work with you to fit dog walks, boarding or whatever else you may need with my schedule! I live in a townhouse with a large shared park/lawn/patio area a few seconds away from my front door. I also have many many walking trails and parks within a few minutes from me that are all off of busy roads/areas and take you through forested areas, marsh, and large fields. I always carry everything I might need in any emergency situation with an animal I’m taking care of, I am always very aware of my surroundings and am very good at catching animals behaviors before any situation has escalated and am able to prevent them, from both my animals and strangers. I have spent lots of time training and many hours learning about animals and the physical warnings they show in discomfort, I have always been able to safely remove or prevent my own pets as well as clients from a stressful situation. I have no trouble standing up for my animal if a stranger isn’t taking proper care of theirs and will always ALWAYS put myself between them and harms way.

About: I have lived with dogs and cats my entire life, growing up with large dog breeds primarily. I am fine working with all types of behaviors and ages of animals and would love to care for yours! I am currently very open to any time or day of the week. I am an active person and would be happy to take dogs on long walks or hikes if they need a more active lifestyle. I cannot host dogs at my own home but would be happy to care for them at your home! I have experience house sitting, dog sitting, cat sitting, and can provide references if needed.

“She cares a lot about the dogs she is walking and I appreciated all the updates and ease of communication. I’ll be hiring Mikayla for more walks.”

About: As someone who has lived with dogs throughout my entire life, I understand what it takes to be a caring, responsible and loving pet owner. I believe that all dog owners should be capable of being patient, playful and responsible to ensure the best possible care for their furry friend. Other than taking care of my own dogs, from puppies to seniors, I have experience with working for other family members and neighbors. This experience ranges from hourly visits, walks, and overnights. I am always excited to learn from new clients and their furry friends about the wonderful world of pet sitting! I am currently in between jobs, so I have plenty of time to look after your pets! Whether you need care in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I will be available. This accounts for weekdays and weekends. When working in a client's home, I always try to be respectful of their established practices/rules for their pets. Responsible entry and exit from homes and similar tasks is important as well. Being on time is something that I find to be extremely necessary for pet sitting, whether it be for potty breaks, walks, or feeding visits. I want to make sure each new pet is comfortable with me, so being affectionate and playful is something that I have always valued as a pet sitter and owner.
