About: Hi! I’m Jenn — a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I have two fur babies of my own — Moxxi, a sweet lab mix, and Obi, a gentle Staffordshire terrier mix — both rescues with big hearts and friendly personalities. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting so your pets can feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their own familiar space. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks and can tailor visits around your pet’s unique routine. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, medication, or just a little extra TLC, I’ll be there to care for them like one of my own. You’ll receive regular photo updates and quick responses while you’re away — I know how important peace of mind is when it comes to our furry family members. If your pet has special needs, training cues, or specific routines, I’m happy to follow them closely to help your pet feel at ease. Your fur baby will be treated with patience, love, and a little extra spoiling 🐾 My schedule is flexible, which allows me to offer consistent care throughout the day. I’m available for potty breaks, walks, check-ins, and overnight stays depending on what your pet needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routine consistent, their environment calm, and their safety top of mind. I always follow your instructions closely — whether it’s feeding, medications, potty breaks, or playtime — and make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure before I leave. I approach each pet with patience, respect, and lots of love, tuning into their unique personality and needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I aim to create a peaceful, predictable experience that helps them feel safe and cared for while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing — because trust and communication matter just as much as belly rubs. 🐶💛

About: Growing up we always had dogs in our family. My Experience in pet care is from having my own pets and caring for friends and families. I love animals and have over a decade of experience in caring for dogs, cats, horses, mules, donkey's and pigs. Now I just have my two dogs but the are like our family. I have 5 years experience caring for elderly dog (my own) that needed special care and medications. I am currently not working any other jobs at this time and will have plenty of time to spend with you sweet fur baby or babies. I have a fenced in back yard with 2 of my own fur babies. I love spending time with them in the back yard, going for walks and playing fetch. I live close to a nature trail with a lake and love to take the dogs for walks there. We love that outside time. Inside I have room to play with toys and chill with your buddies.

About: As someone who has had pets in the home for as long as I can remember, I know it is important for them to be in a loving, patient, and attentive environment and I thrive in providing environments that are such! While I’m currently a full-time college student at Samford University, during the summer months when school is not in session, I find myself having more free-time than usual to care for pets I have a large fenced in backyard and only two cats inside the home. I make sure that the pets that I care for have enough space of their own but are also attended to closely.

About: I’m an experienced dog walker and sitter, skilled in caring for dogs from puppies to seniors, and small to extra-large breeds. I have expertise in administering medications, including shots and blood sugar testing. Your furry friend will receive personalized attention and care, ensuring they are happy and healthy while you’re away. Let’s connect to discuss your pet’s needs! I am currently studying for a licensure exam so my weekdays are very flexible & open after 7:30am. My Weekends are wide open for pup visits. My care and play tactics vary based on a dogs’ personality to keep them most comfortable & happy. Dog sitting in my home includes just me & your scheduled dogs, a very large fenced in back yard, & within minutes of 2 parks!

About: With eight years of experience as the sole care provider for dogs and a lifetime of living with them, I bring a wealth of knowledge and love to pet care! What sets me apart is my passion for working with dogs of all kinds, from energetic puppies to seasoned seniors. I have a special knack for handling unique situations, like caring for my Yorkshire terrier with diabetes, which taught me how to manage medications with love and patience. Training my border collie from a hyperactive puppy to an eight-year-old with arthritis has given me valuable experience in adapting care to meet the changing needs of dogs as they age. I'm thrilled to share my enthusiasm and experience with your pets, ensuring they receive the best care and plenty of belly rubs! I currently work part-time and have the flexibility to make my own schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care and accommodate my clients' needs. This flexibility means I can easily work around the customer's schedule, ensuring that their pets receive the care and attention they need at the most convenient times. Whether it's daily walks or drop-in visits, I am committed to providing reliable and personalized care that fits seamlessly into my routine. When caring for pets in my client's home, safety and trust are my top priorities. During drop-in visits, I ensure that pets are in a secure environment by checking doors, gates, and any potential hazards to keep them safe. I also follow any specific instructions from the owners regarding feeding, medication, or special care routines. For dog walking, I use secure leashes and harnesses to ensure pets are safely guided during our walks. I always stay aware of our surroundings to avoid potential dangers, such as traffic or other animals, and I tailor each walk to meet the individual needs and energy levels of the dog. Building trust with both pets and their owners is important to me, and I always communicate clearly and promptly to keep everyone informed and comfortable.
