Pet Sitting in Dunham

About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting and had my own dog for many years. Now, I have experience from drop-in visits to extended overnight stays, with many different types of needs. I’m dedicated to caring for a pet the same way their owner would and look forward to spending time with animals. I work from home most days and can accommodate a flexible potty schedule and activity level. I enjoy taking breaks to spend with pets, to get outside or tuck in on the sofa! I have an enclosed garden and large, unfenced yard. We are well back from the main road so pets are welcome to explore the neighborhood.

About: I have always been around pets of all kinds; reptiles, house pets, farm animals, even a tarantula. I am caring and attentive and up for anything! I work from home and set my own work schedule. Pet care can fit right into my flexible schedule. I would love to have a companion on my walks, as I listen to my podcasts!! I like to do my research on a particular pet if I am going to care for it. This ensures I will properly handle and care for the pet, as they vary!

About: Throughout my life, I’ve always surrounded myself with animals. Ive owned horses, dogs, and cats and also have extensive experience with rescue dogs who have endured trauma. I have yet to meet an animal that I haven’t befriended and continue to work closely with rescues and assist people in rehoming their pets. I just left my job as a social worker and am currently pursuing my MSW. I am looking for a part time gig to help get me through school, so my schedule is pretty open. :) I normally go for a morning walk with my own rescue pup and then hit the yoga mat and get some school work done. My schedule is very flexible. I have a rescue dog who does not get along with other doggos (disappointing but we respect his boundaries). Therefore, I wouldn’t be able to house your doggo at my home but open to house sitting and for advance notice clients, I can have my father watch my dog for a week or so.

About: I am a dog lover and have owned dogs for 15 years. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I can help with puppy training and can administer any medications if necessary. I would love the opportunity to walk your dogs or house sit while you are on vacation. I have open availability. I would really enjoy the opportunity to get to know you and your fur babies. I'm open for all types of visits. My puppy is on a harness and leash. She is always contained or in my home. I have a yard but unfenced. I live down the street from a dog park.

“Florence was so good with Pancho! She asked questions about his routine, gave me really detailed updates after she left. She started to develop a nice relationship with him after just a few visits. Will definately keep contacting her for Pancho’s visits and walks. I know he is in great hands!”

“Julia was everything we could wish for in a cat sitter and more! She communicated well from the initial inquiry throughout the entire visit, including sending us pictures of our cat and letting us know how she was doing. Julia has a ton of experience caring for animals and cats especially, and didn't bat an eye when I explained the unusual feeding routine or medicine needs of our cat. I highly recommend Julia for anyone in the Springfield area. You are in safe hands!”

About: I’ve been taking in strays and fostering furry misfits since I was barely taller than a Labrador! From bottle-feeding kittens to winning over the grumpiest rescue dogs, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I’m home full-time, which means your pet gets my undivided attention : walks, playtime, belly rubs, and all the love they can get! So don’t you worry! Whether it’s in my home or yours, I aim to make pets feel like they’re on a cozy vacation. At my place, they’ll get a comfy spot to snooze, plenty of playtime, and a calm, loving environment (plus treats if allowed!). In your home, I keep their routine steady—meals on time, walks as usual, and lots of cuddles to keep tails wagging and whiskers twitching. I treat every pet like they’re my own—because for a little while, they kind of are!

About: I’ve helped take care of my family’s Australian Labradoodle, Penny, ever since we got her, 5 years ago. In these past couple years I’ve facilitated dozens of “doggy play dates” (communal dog walking and play time at dog parks and backyards) with dogs of all different sizes. I am very comfortable and confident with all types of dogs, and often dog sit and dog walk for friends and neighbors when they are out of town. I currently live in Burlington and am free on weekends and after 5pm MWF and after 6pm Tuesday and Thursday. I am able to spend as much time as needed with your pets if it makes you, or them, more comfortable! I’m comfortable caring for pets in new environments. I can crate, feed, walk, and play with your animals, and will be clean and respectful to your space and home.

About: I have a full range of animal history and care. I have chosen dogs to accommodate and love unconditionally when you must be away from your best friend! I offer a variety of animal care and services, including one on one to fun play sessions for pets with like personalities. I am confident we can find what is necessary and essential for each unique situation. We don’t have problems we specialize in solutions together! I am currently retired and found a way to incorporate exercise and love for animals in a great combination for both myself and our furry faces. I travel regularly to render my time and care for others pets in many locations. I have many opportunities and accommodations to suit each unique dog situation. I am willing to follow pet owners regiment to almost an exact replica if possible. Let’s talk a see how I can help make the transition stress free when you must be apart. I travel to accommodate situations necessary.

About: Hi! I'm an experienced house and petsitter who truly loves the animals in my care. I've watched pets for many friends and families. I discovered my love of animals while living in Australia when I was asked to live in a family friend's home for six months to watch their aging border collie and cat. I then became a daily dog walker for a yellow lab while her primary caretaker was working; I have also looked after a rat terrier, an Irish terrier, and three labradoodles with regularity. I was a Canine Companion at my local SPCA, having completed a thorough training program there, as well as a volunteer with the local ambulance corps. I have had great experiences with dogs and cats of many different breeds and ages and I look forward to meeting your furry friends! What sets me apart is the amount of time your pets get with me. I spend a lot of time and care with your furry friends. This depends on what the dog and the client needs. I am happy to discuss this with you further when we meet and chat more.

“Alexis took care of our 2 cats while we were out of town. My husband and I were nervous leaving our kitties with someone we didn't know. However, Alexis was very communicative with my husband and me. She sent many photos and texts about how our cats were doing. We also spoke to Alexis on the phone during our absence from the cats. Additionally, Alexis is a Veterinary Technician. The kitties seemed just fine when we returned from our trip.”
