About: I always had a dog. The house isn’t a home if you don’t have a dog. Family brings there dog over. Every one gets along I’m working part time . Will have time to play and walk your dog. I care for dogs. I have a dog name Louie. We’re always outside I have a big fenced in yard . I have a dog so my house is dog proof. I have a one story house on a quiet street.
About: I have 2 large rescues that have been a part of my family for the last 9 years. When I lived in apartments, I helped watch other neighbors' dogs and always enjoyed getting to know them and learn about their routines, hobbies, and quirks. While my family never had a dog growing up, I love being around them now and could never go back to a life without them! Since I work part time at a local farm, and am only just getting my own farm up and running, I have a relatively flexible schedule from week to week, especially during the winter, early spring, and late fall. I am thorough when it comes to taking care of my dogs' health and safety, as well as the health and safety of all pets that are in my care. I am always vigilant about traffic while walking dogs near any roads, and am always careful of walking them near other animals. When in another's home I am respectful of boundaries and rules and always clean up after myself or any messes that a pet may make.

I love going on long walks and playing catch in the yard. When your dog stays with me, they will have they certainly won’t feel alone! If you’d like your dog to have more interactions with other dogs, I would be happy to bring our dog, Bailey, on our visits to your home (or I can leave her home). I am looking forward to getting to know your pet and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! Please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions or concerns. I work from home on Tuesdays & Fridays, which allows me time to care for animals during that window, or on the weekends as well! I have a fenced in yard that would keep you pup safe for potty breaks. We have a 10 year old dog who loves to cuddle up on the couch and play tug of war too!

About: I love caring for animals! I have always been asked to care for pets when my loved ones, friends, coworkers, or neighbors are away. I make homemade dog treats with my dogs and I’m sure they will share! I have cared for all ages of dogs, all needs of dogs. If your dog is friendly, and you would be interested in letting them play with my dog Ozzie to wear out some energy, that is an option as long as they can meet first! Nothing beats a middle of the day play date! I can be flexible in my schedule but sometimes it changes fast, I promise to keep my schedule as up to date as I can. When I am not caring for pets, I work full time as an RN. Please note all my rates are negotiable. I do work 12-13hr shifts full time as a RN. With that, I promise to be upfront and honest about my hours so we can figure out additional care if needed. My schedule varies every week so I often have free time during the week. I work every 3rd weekend. I can come by and spend time with your pets, I can take them for walks, make homemade treats with them, or just give them belly rubs and ear scratches! Let me know what you need so we can work it out.

About: I have done petsitting (cats and dogs) for over 15 years. Usually for animals where I personally know the owners and have spent time with the animal to create a bond/relationship. I want to full disclose with new perspective pets parents: I have a full time, in-office job with the standard business hours, Monday through Friday. If that's not what you are looking for in a house sitter, I understand. If I had a pet of my own, I would ensure all their needs are met. As a petsitter, I would to ensure their animal's life doesn't change or I could make it better in some small way especially since their parent(s) is gone I stay at the animal's home to care for them so their life isn't different than what it usually is for them. Changing their environment can be quite shocking and stressful to them. I try not change their lifestyle too much while the parent is gone
“My dog loves Hannah! She is reliable and always shows up on time! She makes sure to let me know if she uses the bathroom and is overall very good at what she dos and I highly recommend her!”

About: What sets me apart is my dependable, loving care. I treat every dog like family, giving patient attention, walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of love. I work mornings in retail, finish later in the afternoon so I am free later in the day. I enjoy being active, but always plan my schedule around pets to ensure consistent, loving care.
