About: Welcome! I have over 20years experience working with dogs. I like to look at my pet boarding as an Airbnb for pets! I am a former service dog trainer. I am currently enrolled in dog training courses through Rover. I will be completing a Veterinarian Assistant program this summer. There is always someone home or available. I work & study remotely. I do provide talking dog buttons. If your dog uses them let me know & we will have them available with words your dog uses & hopefully learn some new ones! Anything that is trending that promoted positive life quality for dogs I usually have on hand or am incorporating it into use Each day I incorporate daily walks, cuddles, & basic training. Basic training is eye contact, leash & buddy walking. I provide one on one time for the dogs each daily. I make sure no dog feels left out. In the summer months their last night of boarding they get a special walk to the ice cream store to enjoy a pup cup & extra one on one time. On weekends in the summers. I am outside most days . The dog/s can enjoy ice bowls, kiddie pool, water sprinklers and shade in the backyard. In the summer I offer water play daily! They have free will to come in & out of the house into the fenced in yard all day! In the fall & winter months the dogs can enjoy outside time by a warm outdoor doggie bonfire. There are areas they can romp in the leaves & explore. I also incorporate daily walks weather permitting. On colder days or rainy days we have a rainy paw day. If the dogs are open to it they can enjoy some doggy stretches, Spaw services such as coconut oil rubs on their paw pads, homemade doggie treats, and dog related movies and cuddles!

“Friendly, professional and always on time! Everything you want in a dog walker!”

About: I have been dog sitting for over 4 years now and the types of dogs have ranged from a few weeks old to 15 years old. I grew up with dogs and I even help volunteer at an animal shelter when I have the chance. I’ve animal sat for: dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, turtles, and more. I also work at a doggy daycare and boarding facility where I take care of pups all ages and breeds. I work part time and have plenty of time to take care of any animal I only work 4 hours on most days which gives me a lot of time to play and socialize with the animals. On Monday and Wednesday I work 7 hours, from 9-12 and 2-6 in between those time I will be with your fur baby’s aswell. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have school at 8-11am. Tuesdays I work 2-6. Fridays I work 8-12pm. So your animals will only be home alone short amounts of time. I plan to let out the animals every 4 hours or earlier on Monday and Wednesday’s. Then on any other day I will be with them every second I can be and I will be letting them out very frequently or as often as asked.

I have been blessed to work and train with many ethologists (behavioralists), service dogs, K-9 units, leader dogs for the blind, and also at Wolf sanctuaries as a veterinary medical specialist throughout the United States. I specialize in pet first aid, senior care, medicating and CPR. Currently taking new clients and am looking forward to meeting you and your fur babie(s). At the present time, I have open availability to do house sitting, dog walking, cat care, obedience training and drop in visits. I will update any changes to my availability often.

His grandparents are more than happy to watch and spoil him rotten!! :) Please let me know your pet's schedule/needs. If they require scheduled medication or trips to the bathroom frequently. Also, how many hours that they can be left alone during a possible work day. I will definitely make every effort to accommodate a special needs pet ( separation anxiety, frequent medication administering, insulin, feeding tube, etc.(*Depending on the severity of the situation of your pet, please note that there may be additional charges for them during house sitting*)

“Kellie and Paige were both great with my dog. He’s a bigger dog and is kinda scared of meeting new people, and they were very patient with him and I on introductions and when they would come by to take him for walks. I also had several shift changes for the month I was here and they were great at communicating and flexible with their schedules, which was very kind. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.”

About: I am a middle school english teacher that is looking to make some money during the summer and meet some cute dogs! I would treat your dog like my own. I have a silver lab of my own that I take on a walk everyday (when the weather allows it). He is 8 years old and has lived the best life by going on puppy play dates, doggy day care, and many trips camping with us. I grew up with all kinds of dogs my entire life and I truly feel they are apart of the family! Should be treated like they are apart of the family.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a farm surrounded by all kinds of animals. I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. 🐶🐱 I’m caring, responsible, and love spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own! ❤️ I'm currently not working. Your pet will be my priority, and I allow many potty breaks for dogs and litter box cleaning for cats. I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, exercise, playtime, and care they need throughout the day. I love animals and safety is extremely important to me. I have a fenced in backyard and I live in a neighborhood at my house. I care for pets by making sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, and lots of attention. I also follow their usual routines and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my home or their owner’s home.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced animal caregiver with a lifelong passion for animals of all kinds. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and a wide variety of other animals, including those with special needs or unique personalities. Being a wildlife rehabber for over a decade means I am accustomed to all species of animals and am familiar with proper handlling techniques, medical needs, dietary needs etc. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, medications, cleaning, enrichment, and providing plenty of individual attention. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets, and I’ll treat yours with the same care and respect I give my own. I work during the day typically from 1230-2pm. Available any time after that to help however possible. I am available most days of the week. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely for feeding, medications, walks, enrichment, and household routines. I’m experienced with different personalities and temperaments, and I always take the time to let animals become comfortable with me at their own pace. I keep their environment clean and secure and provide plenty of attention while respecting each pet’s individual needs.

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats through pet sitting, two doggy daycares jobs, and Mayfair Veterinary Clinic, where I worked as a kennel attendant. I’m experienced with feeding, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I’ve also cared for cats both professionally and in their homes and understand the importance of giving every pet attentive, dependable care. I currently have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine. I’m comfortable with regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, check-ins, and overnight care. I’m happy to communicate with owners about their pet’s usual routine and make sure it stays consistent while they’re away :) I have a dog and cat of my own, so I’m used to maintaining daily routines and creating a safe, comfortable environment for pets. I’m attentive to their individual personalities and needs, and I love giving them plenty of playtime, attention, and affection. I’m also respectful of each pet’s space and their owner’s home, and I always make sure pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I am a 24 year old woman seeking to support myself by pursuing my passion for caring for animals. Growing up, I naturally took care of many pets and enjoyed ensuring their happiness and well-being. I have previously worked with clients on an informal basis, handling pet care as favors or small jobs, so I have some experience in the field. While I am new to this platform, I am committed to providing high quality service to all of my clients and to making this a positive and meaningful experience. Please give me the opportunity to care for your pet and I promise they will be safe and well looked after! 💖✨ - - - Services I offer: • House sitting (My Basic House-Sitting service includes staying overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their own home, along with daytime care every 4-6 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime, and cuddles.) • Dog walking (30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup the exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation they need during the day.) • Drop-ins (30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away.) I am available mostly on Mondays through Fridays. So typically all weekday but I can work with you and work on weekends depending on the said request. Just let me know what you’re looking for and we can negotiate! I typically wake up in the morning and don’t sleep too late as well 💖 I believe that safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for the client are some of the most important aspects of responsible caregiving. When it comes to safety, I ensure that I carefully listen to all instructions and information provided to thoroughly prioritize your pet's well-being. Regarding trust and environment, I arrange meet and greets prior to bookings or scheduled dates with new clients to help your beloved pet become familiar with me and build trust naturally, reducing stress and fear when the time comes. I also stay within settings where your pet feels most comfortable, or I may take them to a nearby park to give your pet a chance to explore and enjoy. Ultimately, it’s all based on your preferences. 💖

About: I offer great service. I’m good with both cats and dogs, I understand pet care and how to properly socialize with them. I’m attentive and patient with the vibrant personalities of any pet! I require that first time clients schedule a video chat with me prior to any services to ensure the safety of your home and your pet. Please do not text me personal phone numbers. I lost my senior yorkie at the start of this year. However, she was very pampered and cared for. Our daily routine is consistent and I monitor her health closely as well as give her plenty of attention and play time. She’s very attached to her home and her family, and very protective, so it’s important that she has lots of love. She’s a cuddler and goes for the mouth with kisses. Her stomach is very sensitive and she has a strict diet. She’s a great companion, however, and a great bugler alarm system as she barks at everything that moves. I understand greatly, the importance of a dog’s preferences and quirks. Nothing your dog could need is ridiculous to me at all. Your home will be greatly respected, and your pets will be my priority. I will keep your pet on their proper schedule and ensure that they don’t get lonely while you’re away! You would set the feeding schedule and I would take them on walks or let them outside accordingly. Of course we will have plenty of playtimes and I will do my best to limit any messes.

About: I have always loved being with animals. I plan to work with animals. I have a dog and a lizard. I look forward to working with you! I am currently taking a few college classes but I am open almost all days of the week! I have a fairly open availability and I am always flexible! My animals are super spoiled and love to go for car rides. I will treat your pets as my own and love them just as much.
