About: I have taken care of dogs and cats on a consistent basis ever since I was 15 years old, maybe even earlier. I have experience in administering medicine and taking care of senior dogs and cats. Even though I have a full time job I will make it my priority to take of your animals as my own. I am open to house sitting, dog walking, and daily check ins. If needed I’m able to provide references from several families at my church who I have taken care of their animals many times over the years. I’m currently working full time, but I can take care of your animal in the morning and as soon as I get off work. I prefer to stay at your home to house sit as I know your dog will be in a familiar place with all of their toys and food I I can easily crate your dog in your home and make sure that to gates are closed when your dog is let outside. I will ways be outside with you dog to make sure he or she is safe and taken care of

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of multiple ages and sizes. I follow schedules to a tee, feeding amounts, treat allowance, etc. I even have a friend on call who works in a veterinary office if ever needed. I currently work full-time Monday-Friday from 9:00am-4:00pm. I don’t work weekends unless necessary, but not often. I would let you know ahead of time or not accept on those weekends. I usually spend my free time doing school. I will follow your schedule to exactly how you wish it be done. Including the usual wake-up and bedtimes that they’re adjusted to, so that they’re not getting off of their usual schedule with you.

About: I’ve pet sat for family members ever since I was a kid. As an adult, I’ve worked in veterinary clinics and at a day care facility. I’ve also stepped up as, what my mom has dubbed, a “doggie doula” to young mother with both her first and last litters. I helped her raise them from birth to six-eight weeks and found homes for each one, as well as rehomed one of the pups. Two of her pups (one from each litter) are now living with my family, Shego and Mochi. I also own one seniors and manage the care for all 3 of my dogs. I’ve adapted our home to be suitable and comfortable for my senior, while also having space for my 2 year old pups to play and cuddle and entertain themselves. I am available in the mornings and evenings! I work for a summer camp from 10am-4pm during the weekdays. I can visit or do walks from 6am-8am and 5pm-9pm. As I am currently housing 3 dogs, I am unavailable for pet sitting in my home. I am open to spending the day with your pup outside of your home (Dog Park, Petsmart, Petco, Car Rides). Prices may vary.
