Dog Walking Blue Jay

About: Growing up in South Africa, going on safari was a significant part of my culture, and my love for animals has been ingrained in me from a young age. After the loss of my beloved 20-year-old cat, I found joy in walking and playing with a neighbor's Husky, helping to fill that void. Currently, I don't have any pets of my own, so your furry friend will be my top priority and cherished companion until you return. I moved to the mountains five years ago and work primarily from home, allowing me to provide plenty of attention and care. I am very hands-on, with a wealth of love to give, and I have a natural knack for connecting with animals. My cat used to snuggle with me every night, and I can't wait to welcome more little fur-balls into my life to cuddle. My standard nightly rate includes up to 2 pets. In addition to my passion for animals, I have completed a cat and dog CPR certification course through the Red Cross, ensuring that I am prepared for unexpected situations that may arise. I also hold my own liability insurance underwritten by Lloyds of London, separate from Rover's insurance, giving you peace of mind while your pet is in my care. Furthermore, I have successfully passed an enhanced background check by a third-party provider. Animals are my passion, and I feel incredibly grateful to live in the mountains, surrounded by all the beautiful wildlife. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member/s! Pets need love, security and re-assurance when their human parents are on vacation. That is why I prefer to house sit. I can also just drop in for feedings and walks if you are more comfortable with that. I will treat your fur babies with love and respect and give them lots of play and cuddle time! Your wish is my command and I will follow any special instructions or routines you may have.

“Erick is great , took my dogs on two walks this week, my dogs loved her and came back home happy.”

About: Hello my furry friend lovers!! I have cared for many different kinds of animals in my life, some of which include dogs,cats,birds,mice,rabbits,guinea pigs,fish,snakes,goats,chickens and now pot belly pigs. We love making homemade treats in our house so I am currently taking some pet nutrition classes to safely make special dietary treats. I am comfortable with all ages and sizes. I would be more than happy to meet you before any final decisions are made so that we can discuss everything there is to know about your pet. I have experience with different illnesses and medications from working with a rescue where I adopted my own angel with a neurological disorder. We absolutely adore pets and I can promise you that you and your baby will be treated like family. I am a stay at home wife that is taking pet nutrition and business classes so I could someday open my own pet boutique where everything is homemade. I promise no potty breaks will be missed and your baby gets all the love and cuddles they can handle. 😊 We have dogs, cats and pot belly pigs for your pet to play with in our fenced yard but we also have big crates for separation if needed. Your baby will be allowed on our furniture to sleep and get cuddles unless you say otherwise lol we do love our snuggles.

“Can’t wait to use Katie again! Great experience!”

About: I have been taking care of my own dog/cat for over 10 years now. I am nurturing, patient, kind & ready & willing to work hard & prove my care to your pet/s at any time! I am currently only in school part time online. I have free time everyday during the week as long as I get a heads up! I have a fenced in yard, grass, play areas. I can accommodate your pet with the same safety measures that I use for my pets as well.

About: I grew up with dogs through my whole my childhood. Until I was 20, my mom got me a cat. So now we have 2 pups and a cat. I am currently a college student and taking most of my classes online. I am available in the morning Monday- Friday. I am available on some weekends. Just message me My pups are well trained to stay near my house when I am outdoor doing some yard work they are always near my surrounding. I always make sure to give them as much of attention when I am outside like playing with them.

About: Ever since I can remember, I loved animals. I have always had animals in my home since I was young and taking care of them comes naturally. I helped a few of my dogs with their litters. I also helped my aunt with her blind dog like I said I love animals and I’m here to help with whatever you need. I am currently working from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pets. I am available seven days a week to help you with your needs. I have a fenced yard so plenty of room for your dogs to play. I have two small dogs. One was a rescue. My dogs are inside dogs and are crated at night for bedtime.

About: I’ve sat for many different dogs since I was 13. Family and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and apply any needed medications to their dogs. I’ve looked after small Chihuahuas to big Rottweilers, from ages 13 and under. I’m currently taking online community college courses on Mondays and Wednesdays. I’m available all day on weekends and weekdays to look after your amazing dogs! I think it’s best that a dog stay in their own environment so they can feel more comfortable. I will follow the rules you give about your house and pets to make sure they feel safe and your house stays clean and secure.

About: My family had puppy dog named Hazel who we had for about 3 years. I used to play fetch with her in the backyard when I’d come home from school when I was around 10. I’d help with baths, walking her, my mom taught me how bring her inside when I was home alone doing homework, she behaved great and protected me well. A few years later, she passed from choking while eating something that I think had a bone in it and that was the first experience of heartbreak/loss. A few years after that, I adopted my current pet cat on my birthday, Ace, who I love so much. I’ve always loved animals and give pets to dogs whenever I have permission to, my best friend has many dogs so when I go over her house, I get all the cuddles and get drooled on, which I’m used to at this point. I love watching dog training videos and educating myself as I get older so when I finally get a dog again, as an adult, I want to be prepared and educated on how to protect their health, feed them properly and keep them safe with proper nutrition, exercise and training. I would personally love to get myself a Doberman or German Shepherd (Like Hazel was). I often go to my aunts house who has multiple chunky french bulldogs and help her in anyway I can, I enjoy how sweet dogs are and would love to help do any training techniques you’d love your little doggo to be working on while you are away. I am also in the process of my goal of losing 100lbs! So this helps me get the exercise I need while doing something I’m passionate about! Weekday and Weekends for now, preferably during the Morning & Afternoons on Weekdays and anytime as long as there is a day notice beforehand so I can clear my schedule just for your pet. Not currently doing pet sitting or boarding at my own home, maybe I will be more likely to in the future but I’m not sure yet.

“Savannah is so wonderful! My dogs love her and she is an absolute joy to work with! Highly recommend!”

About: I've taken care of my first puppy, Missy who currently lives with me! I've crate trained her and also have experience with training her as a puppy to be obedient and listen! I also have had experience where I stayed at a family member's house and cared for their dog Sadie for a week, while house sitting! I'm currently not working, and won't attend college until August so i'm home most hours of every day! I may go out to run errands or go on a hike or the beach one day, however I have multiple people in my household willing to take the dog outside on potty breaks if i'm not home which is rare. I have a backyard that is fenced and one dog just over a year old, named Missy, she's a french bulldog boston terrier mix and loves playing with other dogs and gets along well, i can always accommodate to separating the dogs if need be.

Over the years, I’ve owned, walked and watched dogs of all breeds, providing them with exercise, companionship, and personalized attention. I understand the importance of routine and am committed to ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or playtime at the park, I’m dedicated to giving your dog the best care while you’re away. My approach is patient, reliable, and attentive, making sure your pet’s needs are always met. I’m currently a dental student at Western University of Health Sciences.

When caring for pets, I prioritize their safety, trust, and comfort, whether in your home or mine. In my home, I ensure a pet-friendly environment with secure areas for play and rest, keeping potential hazards out of reach.

For walks, I use secure leashes and collars, and I am always vigilant of the environment around us to ensure their safety. In your home, I follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, providing a familiar and calm atmosphere. I respect your home and keep it tidy, ensuring your pet feels at ease and has everything they need while you're away. Trust is key, and I always maintain open communication with updates so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in good hands.
