Pet Sitting in Carthage

“It was great meeting and working with Megan! She agreed to care for our "large household" of dogs on fairly short notice so we could take a rare overnight out of town trip. She kept in touch and sent lots of pics which alleviated our worry. She was able to get the fussy old guys to take their meds and convinced Bandit he wasn't being kidnapped so he would walk on his leash. Overall, we were very happy with the service Megan provided and plan to be a repeat client!”

“We were very pleased with Shania’s drop in visit and excellent care for our two Australian Shepherds and our elder, blind Whoodle. Shania’s background in animal care, her timeliness, excellent communication skills and punctual follow through gave us worry free confidence for our time away. We enthusiastically recommend Shania for in-home pet sitting!”

About: I’ve worked in a veterinary clinic for 7 years and have lived with animals my entire life. I work with cats and small to medium dogs but I’m not opposed to bigger dogs. All ages are accepted. I have experience in grooming/bathing, administering oral and injection medications, and wound care/bandaging. I have a part-time job but I make sure your pets take priority. I’m currently working part time and taking online college classes, however my schedule is always flexible for your pets. I keep my calendar updated regularly for your convenience. While I have a concrete schedule for my animals, I am very flexible and will never do anything regarding your pets without asking you first. I will ask you questions before starting services and will keep you updated throughout the entire process. While I am at your home, I am happy to take your pets on walks, pick up mail, water plants, and I will always pick up after myself. I will not go anywhere that is not permitted and will care for your pets like they are my own.

“Mica is a gem ❤️ I knew my fur babies worked be in great hands with her! Thank you for loving on my babies and taking such great care of them🐾❤️🐾❤️”

About: Taking care of critters has always been something that brings warmth to my heart. I have cared for animals in my own home as well as family member/friends pets. I have experience with giving medicines, dressing wounds, after surgery care, big dogs and small dogs, aggressive dogs and a few with special needs like mental, neurological, physical, or emotional. I’ve worked with a humane society where I learned about more temperaments of dogs and also at a grooming/boarding facility where I learned about breeds, grooming, and training. I’m looking for a something to fill my mornings before work, and dogs and cats and animals were the first on my mind! I have so much patience and love for animals it just made sense. So if your pups/cat/critters needs fed, walked, or some attention send me a message! I work for the schools during the weekdays so I have some time in the mornings and then one opening in the evening on weekdays. Occasional weekend visits are available too. I would be visiting, walking or caring for your cutter in your home/neighborhood unless we travel to take a walk like to Kellogg or the Y track (I do pick up poop!) I’m very cautious and observant so I can not only take notes and report back to you but also care for the critter in a respectful and loving manner.

About: I have cared for and had pups and cats since I started elementary school, but I picked up the bigger responsibilities with caring for critters around age 15. I have three labs, (ages four, three and two), one cat and a fish. My two females have each had a healthy litter of ten puppies that I cared and found homes for! I am very attentive to my animals and their needs and even more so to other creatures. I currently work as a dog groomer and boarding technician which has given me knowledge on many different temperaments of pups and techniques on how to uniquely tend to them while having safety and care as top priority. Caring for my animals is weaved into my daily routine. I wake up early enough to tend to my pups before my kids wake up to ensure everyone’s needed are met. Depending on the weather we typically have afternoon playtimes or walkies or we will have some water play to end a hot day. Checking water/feed, refreshing water and feed, bath and brushing, and administering medications are all just a part our normal routine list at home for our critters. for in-home visits I am prepared to accompany your animal in any weather and follow through with what your pet is accustomed to. The comfort and safety of your animal is most important. I have emergency numbers for vets and contacts to assist me in an emergency situation (choking, wound, any current illnesses like seizures, etc). Saying that I am NOT a licensed veterinarian.

“Great with Hundo. He has been doing drop ins with Hundo a little over a week. He keeps up the consistency of how we are trying to train Hundo. Then after his visit he give a full communication feedback. I can work without worrying about my new puppy at home.”

“It was such a wonderful feeling my family and I had, being able to leave on vacation knowing that our Queenie will be well took care of and loved on while we were gone. Paula arranged a Meet and Greet before we left. Queenie had a new friend from that moment on. The pictures and time Paula took with her was just so refreshing. We would love to continue to use her for Queenie in the future. I have told Ms Paula thank you over and over, but can't say it enough for being awesome.”

About: I have raised my own dog for 10 years and have also fostered 1 puppy. Dogs have been apart of my entire life since childhood. Most weeks I work over the road about 3 days but usually sit at home the rest of the days. Typically don’t leave the house too long during those off days. I have a fenced in yard and 1 friendly senior dog. With clients dogs I will probably go out with them to be extra cautious. They will be treated like my own.

About: I’m a nurse interested in caring for and walking animals when off duty from nursing. I’ve cared for my own personal pets since I was a kid. I also have experience helping care for horses and cows. I’ve been in nursing for 38 years. I have time when I’m not working at the hospital. I’m available on weekends and after five during the week to care for your pets. I can care for your pets in your home. I would love to take your fur babies for walks. We have Daisy, our furry family member at home and we have an elderly cat named Cake. Cake is the queen of our home.

“Megan was so attentive to our pups while we were away on vacation. She kept us informed when one showed signs of an ear infection and even carried our packages in. She was responsive and spent lots of time loving on our pups! Already booking our next trip with her.”

About: Very Flexible Schedule! I love every animal like they are my own! I would love to care for your animal, you would not be disappointed! I have animals (1 cat and 2 dogs) at home, so I,m always in pet care mode! Always on my toes, making sure my babies are safe and okay! I always make sure that the animals have food and water. (if your dog is on a feeding schedule then thats fine!) I will always take your dog(s) on a daily walk, and have some outside time!! I of course love to play with the doggos, and tire them out!

About: I have owned dogs before I could even read. I have always loved dogs and have cared for a large variety of dogs, whether that be age, size, gender, or breed. I have such a love for dogs, I’ve considered becoming a dog trainer ever since I was a child. I’m not currently working, so I’m very flexible with reservations. Just let me know ahead of time and I can be very flexible with you! I remain consistent in their daily routines, especially for potty breaks. I am a huge advocate for positive reinforcement training, so I will make sure the dogs are recognized for doing good.

“Sarah saved the day after my other dog walker had to cancel last minute. She was willing to take care of him without doing a meet and greet before hand due to it being a last minute request. Very much appreciated!”

“Tausha previously came for a meet and greet. We really like her knowledge and love of animals. She's easy going and has a calming presence. This visit I booked her to come over so that I could show her the routine for our animals before she actually stays. My dogs seem very comfortable with her and I feel confident leaving them in her care.”

Kristina C.
