Pet Sitting in Centerville

About: Albeit having no years of 'professional' caring, I have been a dog and cat mom all of my life. Since I was born my family has had 2-3 dogs and 5-6 cats at a time on our farm, and I raised, trained and took care of all of them myself since my parents were not too big on animals. The sole reason we had so many is because we lived on a farm and I adored them. Every year of my life I have cared for at least one animal or another, ever since I was in grade school. For cats and dogs alike, I myself used to bathe them, feed them, groom them and take them to the vet if they were sick. As of right now, I have no animals to look after, so I would love to put those skills to good use. This being said, I have ample experience with animals, and I adore them. I have babysat animals for my friends several times, always without incident. I understand their signs and needs, have plenty of patience and can be gentle but firm when needed. I treat them as if they were my own children. I am also a trained emergency service medical provider, so I know how to perform first aid and lifesaving measures if need be (not that it will ever be needed, don't worry!). I am flexible with the services I provide: if your pet has any special needs/medications that they need to take/any sicknesses, or anything else, inform me and I will be happy to babysit for them and care for them for as long as you need! Some of the services I can provide include but are not limited to: bathing, walking, training, and cuddling! I will treat your babies with love and kindness while you're away! Rest assured, they will be in good, trained hands. I currently work from home, and would have no problem going on walks or playing games such as fetch to tire out high energy dogs! I already have a daily routine with my own dog, which consists of taking him on regular potty breaks, brushing his teeth, and playing games to tire him out if its too cold to go on walks outside! We have a yard thats not fenced in, but have lines and long leashes to take your fur baby outside! There is one senior dog, one younger dog, and to cats all to give company to your pet! Both dogs are very friendly, and the cats mostly keep to themselves in the room. The dogs will always be in my sight, so that we can hang out, play, and I can tend to their needs! There are plenty of toys to share, plenty of treats to go around (unless stated otherwise) and plenty of friends to play with.

“Very friendly and made sure to give my cats the attention they needed while I was away. Will definitely book again”

About: I have a dog of my own, and two children. I'll treat your dogs as if they're my own. I'll tend to whatever needs your dog requires, such as the type of play they like, medications, treats, whatever it may be, I promise I can do. I've had a lot of experience with dogs. I have also worked in a boarding/daycare/grooming facility and have worked with up to 30 dogs at a time. I will not do overnights, though but I am willing to do a later shift. I do have animals of my own and a family to come home to. I will walk your dog and play with them when needed, mostly during the day, but like I said I am flexible. I'm a stay at home with the occasional job working at a school as a substitute, but my schedule is super flexible. I'd love to work with you so send me a message! I can easily crate your dogs if needed, as mine are when I'm away. My dog is high energy, so he's always needing attention and play, so I have no issues doing that either. As long as your dog(s) are friendly I'll be able to take care of, play with, and even walk your dog.

“Mickey was kind, caring, and treated our dogs like her own. We can tell caring for animals is a passion and calling for her! Mickey built trust with us, came to visit before she started, and sent us updates. We’re so glad we found Mickey! Our dogs love her 😊”
