17. Jenna H.
About: My whole family is full of animal lovers, so we have had multiple dogs and cats growing up. I have house sat and dog sat for numerous family friends throughout the years back home in WI, and while I’m at school, I would love to do the same for you! I have experience dog/cat sitting, and have also cared for horses while their owners were away. I’m currently a student athlete at (SDSU). I have a very free schedule since I am taking online classes so I will have lots of time to care for your animals! I can make mostly any day of the week work to spend time with your animal. I like to spend a lot of quality time with your pet, taking it on numerous walks, runs, or to the park. I am able to sleep over at client’s houses to make both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re away.
18. Anna C.
About: I have volunteered at a fox rescue, wildlife rehabilitation center, and the Minnesota zoo, so I have a ton of experience with many different types of animals. I have always had a dog in my house. My parents currently have 3 dogs and two cats while I have one dog and one cat. I can work with any kind of animal big or small! I have a husky and a German short haired pointer, so I know how to walk, or take care of, a more energetic dog. On the other hand I also have a French bulldog so I also know how to care them smaller, less active dogs. I have dog sat many times before in the past and I have never had any complaints. I will always put your dog first! I am currently working as a CNA at a hospital part time, so I have some time on my days off or after work to help walk or take care your pets! I have a very friendly dog who can play with any type of dog whether they are smaller than her or bigger. I can travel to your house and make sure your dog is well taken care of and walked.
