About: I have taken care of just about any animal you can think of. I was a veterinary assistant for 4 years. I am 25 years old and currently finishing my bachelor’s degree online at SIUE. I am a teaching assistant for the local school district now! However, I really miss seeing pets all the time so I would love to pet sit for you! I have my own fur babies but I love to meet new pets and build connections with them as well as their owners! I am currently working part time as a nanny and looking to add more pet sitting clients to my workload! I am in college and trying to save money for my future and pet sitting is a very flexible way for me to do that, plus I enjoy it so much! I always love to spend quality time with the animals I am caring for, it helps them to become more comfortable and makes it more enjoyable for me as well! I like to learn the little things that each pet I take care of likes most and use that to bring them comfort and joy while I am caring for them!
About: I’ve been a pet owner since I was 19. I have experience giving medication with my own dogs and worked at a dog boarding place in the past. I promise to love on your dog like they are my own. I work full time Monday through Friday 8:30 am to 5 pm. I’m free most weekends. I’m able to come check on a dog before work and after work. I could possibly go on my lunch break around 1 pm if not too far from my house. Right now I’m not offering services in my house because I have an older dog with vision and health issues. She is more of a people loving dog! At the clients house I will make sure your dog gets plenty of affection and play time. I will try my best to keep them on their normal schedule with potty breaks and meal times. Please make sure to tell me all your dogs favorite things!

“I had 2 cats with special needs, requiring feeding twice a day and an insulin shot. Mandy was the person I called on to always take care of them when I was out of town, as she was wonderful with them and I completely trusted her. My cats loved people attention and Mandy always took time to play with them. Like most cats they could be skittish around people they didn’t know but they loved Mandy.
