About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I was a child. My love of all animals has led me to take in and help people care for dogs, cats, and various other pets both furry and scaly.

My schedule is pretty open to be able to help you provide loving care for your pets big and small. I am available Monday through Saturday. I care for your pets as if they were my own. Whether it be going for a walk/jog, playing in the backyard, lots of treats and attention, training, chasing toys, making nutritious meals, or just providing companionship I give only the best.

About: Hi, I'm Becky (Rebecca), I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a small child and I absolutely love meeting new furry friends. I’ve been pet sitting for friends for about 10 years now and I can honestly say it’s one of the most fun things I do. I’ve trained my own dogs and my friends dogs with positive reinforcement always, treats galore! Play time is always tug of war or fetch and maybe I can teach your furry friends some new tricks while I take care of them. Potty breaks can happen as often as needed, just let me know. I am very athletic so if your pooch needs to go out on a run, I’m there for that! If you have any special needs just let me know ahead of time please. I have a pretty flexible schedule with a typical 1 hour availability in the middle of the day to come say hi to your furry friends while you're at work. My approach with any animal is that they just want to have fun, play and feel safe. I find that most animals love to cuddle with me and have a good time playing as well.

About: I am retired, ex professional, experienced in animal care, domestic, horses and exotic animals. I have done pet and house sitting in France and in the usa. I have excellent references on my website. I can give oral medication, puppies will go out every 2 hours. I have an adorable poodle who will love playing with your puppy, she is like a mother to puppies. I used to do dog rescue while living in France, and placed all dogs saved in very good homes, this was my main concern. I can read dogs body language, and dealt with traumatized dogs, among them my silver poodle, who was very traumatized by his past. I do like old dogs and have adopted some in the past. If a dog swallow something he should not have, I know how to make them throw up. I am retired, as a parent of 2 purbred miniature poodles, I spend most of my time at home, and take them out reguarly. When I have to go out, I am never gone long. I give a lots of attention to my dogs and dogs I sit. I will give the same care to your dogs and if I take them on a walk, will never let them approach a dog I don't know. the yard is fenced but will always go outside with the dogs and will take them on a leash when it's dark. I live outside cottage grove, I am very protective of my own dogs, will be with yours, too.

“Thank you Shay for all your help. Will do this again for sure.”

About: I have taken care of four-legged fur friends all of my life. From hamsters to Swiss Mountain dogs, and some non-furry and feathered friends as well. My daughter and I started in home pet sitting for friends about 5 years ago. We enjoy being able to help your fur babies stay at home and comfortable while you are away. We are familiar with keeping them to routines including feeding, walking, play and medication schedules. We have cared from puppies to elderly long-term life companions who have required oral medication administration. We love each and every one of them and their individual personalities and quirks. I currently work remote and can be there all or part of the day with your fur babies. I can perform drop in and walking services after 3:00 p.m. on weekdays with a more open schedule most weekends. I only offer services within the client's home. I like to meet and get a detailed list of schedules and pet needs. I like to have the opportunity to get to meet the pets beforehand and get a chance for us to know each other.

We would love to see any size and shape for animals makes for a challenge to experience every day and relax in the moment to see how others live.

About: I worked at a doggy day care and boarding business for quite some time, so I’m accustomed to caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities every day! I also own a 110lb 11 year old lab and a 20lb small breed puppy, so I’m definitely used to diversity in dog care! My former occupations gave me several years of pet store experience, and prior to those I’ve always cared for the pets of friends and family as well as my own. :) I am typically available Monday- Friday, I do have another job so let me know details and I’ll let you know if I can accommodate! In those hours my focus is on your dog(s) and giving them the love and attention they deserve! I am all about flexibility when it comes to caring for your pets! My 2 friendly dogs can provide healthy socialization for your pets, which is extremely essential especially for puppies! This can be in your home/yard, on a walk, or at the dog park!

“Hannah is so great with my socially awkward, anxious pup! I use her services regularly and will continue to do so!”

About: Hello my name is Brenden, I have have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I am open to caring for any breed of any description and any instructions accompanied with I will be sure to follow with the utmost care. Many friends, family members and neighbors have trusted me with caring for all kinds of breeds from chihuahuas and kittens to Great Danes and Saint Bernards. My schedule is quite flexible as well, I wouldn’t mind doing any chores you may need help with and I am glad to take care of your furry friend as if they were my own. Please contact me with any questions or concerns, I would be happy to answer them. Thank you for your consideration. I currently have a very flexible schedule, though I am unable to board your pet I am more than willing to stay with them while you’re away, go on daily walks, play, and meet any additional needs that your pet may have. I am always very careful in terms of safety and security of the home and during walks, I always maintain an open line of communication for any questions, updates or concerns you may have.

About: I have decades of pet care experience with visits, overnight care, nearly two decades of employed veterinary experience as well as tons of experience with my own pets of course. 😉 I currently have two very silly Australian Shepherds who compete in a variety of events and have earned many titles - many others in the past with even more . I'm well versed in medication administration in cats and dogs (pills, liquids, injectables) as well as wound care and rehabilitation. I have extensive experience and knowledge in nutrition, behavior and reproductive services. I may be available for flight nannying as well depending on days/times. I have extensive puppy development/training as well as senior care experience. Basically, if you need help with something pet related, I can probably help you! Just ask! 💜💚 Currently my time is divided between kiddo and pet activities so I am able to add in caring for other pets as needed. Please let me know what your needs are as I may be able to switch something around to accommodate your pet! 💜 Currently I am not doing care within my own home but I am cautious about disease transmission (ask me about my show protocols!) and safety is above and beyond my concern. For walks outside, dogs are exclusively leashed on no slip collars/leashes to prevent escapees and are setup prior to heading out the door. If transportation is needed, I exclusively utilize crash tested safety harnesses or crash tested kennels. Dogs or cats are never loose with transportation.

About: I love animals and have had many rescues. Digs generally really like me. I'm loving and sensitive and also experienced. I can provide references. I like dogs of all sizes and temperament. I'm willing to go the extra mile. I'm also very clean and neat and wont leave a mess behind. I'll pick up after your dog! I've had labs, Great Danes, small dogs, mixed breed dogs, etc. I'm not afraid of any breed. About me: 37 year old single mom. Non smoker, drug free and new to the area. I've lived all over the world. I can run your pup to the vet, grab dog food, treats, etc for him or her or whatever you need. Just let me know! I am happy to help! No one will be assisting me while I care for your pets. I'm a freelancer who works from home, so I'm available to take care of your furry friends anytime you need me! I'm responsible, a non-smoker, drug-free, and I am always on time! I also have reliable transportation, and you can expect a lot of communication from me. We currently have three dogs at home (two small and one large). I'm home with them all the time. I bathe them, take them out for frequent potty breaks, play fetch with them, walk them, and feed them at specific times throughout the day. We also choose to measure our dog's food. We recently lost our cat, Marshmallow to old age, but when we had him, we also fed him at specific times, as well as gave him medication every 12 hours. It was important that he received his medication on time twice a day and we were never late with it. I understand the importance of taking good care of my animals and I promise to treat your animals like they are my own while you're away.

“Gin did such a great job walking my girl! Luna loved her immediately and was excited and happy (rather than fearful) to go on her walk. I will definitely hire Gin again!”
