Pet Sitting in Columbia

About: I’ve been trusted with every sort of pet from a tiny lizard to a giant horse. I also have years of experience working in a veterinary hospital and providing care to young and old pets. I currently work as a Behavioral therapist for kids with autism. I don’t start my work day until 12 pm and have plenty of time in between clients to care for your sweet animals. With a flexible schedule and plenty of time before and after work I can ensure all pets will get the time and care they deserve. I have a big fenced yard that my dog freely runs in. Where I also take my bunny and cat on frequent walks. All of my pets are very friendly and love the company of other animals.

About: I grew up in a household where multiple dogs and cats were present for many years all varying differently in terms of behaviors, size and breed. From a young age I was taught how to properly treat and care for animals with love, respect and kindness being first and foremost every animal is equal and deserves the best we can provide. I’m experienced in giving dogs medication through oral and syringe as one of my older dogs needed daily shots given with care. I am hyper aware of safety, always pay attention to our surroundings and as ready as I can be for the unexpected.

Fridays and Saturdays available all day. Big 2 acre fenced yard with plenty of running and sniffing space. I have 1 very friendly dog named Presley who loves making new friends and showing them around the property. I can crate if you’d prefer or any special conditions will be careful planned for and executed to yours and your pets liking. This house is very pet friendly although no fur babies on the furniture 😂.

I’m passionate about animals and make their well-being, enrichment, and comfort a natural part of my daily routine.

About: Growing up with animals my entire life, I've branched out to caring for other's animals. From dogs, cats, snakes, and aquariums of all sizes, I am familiar with caring for all kinds of animals including those with special needs. I have worked with blind animals, those with complex medication routines, and those that needed physical therapy. I have also assisted in training animals with behavioral issues and prevented damage to homes while per owners are away. I also volunteer for the local FOAC in my free time.

I am sure to be respectful of your privacy, sticking to specified areas, and focusing on my assigned job of caring for your furry family members. I prefer to leave everything clean and untouched after pet sitting, like I was never there. I am also very quiet with hobbies like crocheting and reading, being respectful of any surrounding neighbors.

About: I have always had the responsibility of caring for my own animals, but I love getting to help other people care for their pets. I love meeting new animals and have lots of experience in this area. I have been walking dogs around my neighborhood since I was about 10 years old. I loved this experience which is why I have decided to dedicate myself to this line of work so I can always be available to help an animal in need. Currently I work an evening shift at a restaurant 4 nights a week so I have the day open before 5 pm Friday through Monday and Tuesday Wednesday Thursday I am completely available. My schedule also will be opening up more soon. I have a very large area for dogs to run around and two very friendly dogs of my own. I always start by making sure the space is free of any hazards, like toxic plants or loose wires and that they have a cozy spot just for them. Building trust is key, so I take things slow, using positive reinforcement like treats and praise to create a bond. Whether it's playtime or just chilling, I'm all about keeping their routine consistent to minimize stress.

“Tyler’s drop in visit worked great. She is very kind and professional. She took the time to do a pre-visit which I was very grateful. Her communications (photos, text and written note) were thoughtful and caring. I will certainly ask for her help again.”

Mary Jane G.

“Thanks so much for helping our little airstream caravan walk all the dogs while we were in Yosemite. It was a great relief to have you there.”

“Susan was amazing and I highly recommend her. Not only did she create a special bond with my cat, but she also took care of my house while I was away on vacation. She played with my cat and made sure he had love, food, and a clean potty and treated him like her own pet. While at the house she also noticed that my plant needed watering and that there were ants in the house. She took action and didn't even think twice about using her own ant baits to help with an issue at my house. I am so glad she is there when I need her to take care of my cat.”

About: I have over 20 years experience taking care of other people’s “fur babies”. I love them like they are mine. I am very responsible, dependable, observant and able to handle any unexpected situations that might arise. I am self-employed and work part-time so I have a lot of availability. I have the ability (and desire) to give pets quality time and attention. Every pet is unique and their needs are different. Some pets prefer physical connection while others prefer having a ball thrown for them to chase. Like us, pets each have their own love language. I endeavor to “speak” love in the language each pet prefers.
