Pet Sitting in Custards

About: To me, pets aren’t just animals; they are family. My journey in animal advocacy was shaped by a sacrifice my family and I all faced: making the hardest choice for our Chocolate Lab, Molly, to ensure she had the medical support and future she deserved. That experience was heartbreaking, but it solidified my personal mission to put the well-being and happiness of every animal first. Today, I channel that devotion into my work as a regular volunteer at the Crawford County Humane Society. Handling dogs of all temperaments—from the shy and fearful to the high-energy and boisterous—has given me the patience and intuition to handle any situation with a calm, focused mindset. Why Choose Me for Your Pup? • Safety & Vigilance: I prioritize your dog's safety and emotional comfort above all else. • Reliable Routine: With nearly six years of experience in high-responsibility roles, I understand the importance of punctuality, following strict instructions, and maintaining a schedule that keeps your dog feeling secure. • Communication: You can expect detailed updates and photos from our adventures together. I treat every walk as an opportunity to help your dog 'level up' their day with joy and exercise. Note: I am often away from my phone while providing focused care or volunteering, but I am committed to responding to all inquiries by the end of the day. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!

“Stephanie was awesome! I had to book her last minute and was worried because I rarely if ever leave my babies behind but she sent me updates and made me feel comfortable. Would definitely use again when I have to”

“Kristen was amazing as always! She's really great with my kitties. They love having her take care of them, and they're super comfortable with her, even my shy cat. Kristen is very communicative and responsive, and she gives great updates on the cats. I always feel comfortable and worry-free with her taking care of my girls.”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, but currently, am a mom to 3 of them, so I know a thing or two… from >5 lbs to 100… I got you! I’ve been dog sitting for others for almost 5 years now, and actually just spent the last few months volunteering at a local Vet’s office… so I know doggy CPR now if needed! It’s officially SUMMER (yay) which means i’m free literally whenever! Call/message me and I can be there ASAP! ❤️ Monday, Tuesday, whenever, I got you! 🐾 I don’t offer services in my home, since my dogs are veeeery jealous when another is around to steal all the back scratches and belly rubs, but I can guarantee that they don’t mind when i get out of the house for a few hours 🤣 In your home, I promise to provide a nurturing environment, with the same structure and routine you’d force if you were there. Whether it’s overnight or two weeks, I’ll love on your animals like they’re my own!

“Ramona is 100% there for us, we have asked for her service multiple times a year last several years and are so happy with her care of our pets and communication regarding how they are managing while we are away. Thank you Ramona 🙌”

About: I can watch animals of all sizes, chickens, goat dogs, cats, dogs, I own a few types over the years and can possibly learn a new pet, if needed to watch ❤️❤️🐰 I’m currently at home during the day, I’m usually scheduled 1-2 nights a week and will have my daughter helping with the responsibilities for caring for your animals, walking, reading them books and loving on them! I can care for your baby at my home, or yours. Sometimes they’re more comfortable in their home, safety comes first. I will be taking your dog, for walks, car rides, and down to the lake to see my world.

“Leslie was so sweet to my little Luna! Cats of course aren’t always the most social of creatures but Luna took to Leslie right away! She sent me pics that showed Luna all snuggled up on her lap which made me feel good! I’d highly recommend and will definitely have Leslie back to watch my little kitty!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds since I was young! I have always lived in a dog household, with Pittbulls, Chihuahuas, Mastiffs, and more! Beyond that, I have pet sat for family, friends, and professors whenever I had free time! Let me show your pets the love and attention they deserve! I am currently working 8:30-5 with some required weekend time as well. I am happy to spend the night with your pups and/or tend to them in the morning, a possible lunch break depending on location, and in the evenings. I am very punctual and observant and will watch your pets like they are my own. I will take any precautions you ask and will be over-attentive to their needs!

“Abby was a huge support to us over the holidays! Our Maine Coons brothers were well-loved.”

About: I have loved all animals since I was a child & it has been my passion to work with them. I raised my 8 year old pittie since he was a pup & I love meeting & learning each unique personality. I currently work 2 days a week so that gives me 5 days off to help in any way possible! Feeding, walking, play time you name it! Unable to pet sit due to having my own dog, but I can come to the owners home & work with your fur baby in any way needed through out the day/week.

“Kayla did a perfect job watching our cat Gracie! She kept us up to date with pictures and messages. We will definitely hire her again! Thanks Kayla!”

“Jamie really came through and fed my cat twice a day while I was gone for Labor Day. She followed my instructions, and was kind and friendly. Highly recommend!!”

About: I’ was raised on a small dairy/animal farm since I was a kid so I have lots of experience with dogs/cats. I have never not had a dog in my life… I’m very loving, caring and responsible. Trained puppies up to senior dogs with medical conditions that required meds like my own. I am currently not working and would love to share my home and my yellow lab, Mason and cat, Sophie with others. I have a nice size yard and a park just down the street. Quiet neighborhood. Dog friendly. I do not have children. I do have a crate if needed. There is also a long tie out that I use for my 2 year old yellow lab. I do have a house cat but she stays up stairs and likes to be alone.

About: I grew up on a small hobby farm, taking care of animals has been my passion since I can remember. I showed hogs, cattle, and chickens in 4-H. Even while deployed in the U.S. Army in Iraq, I managed to take in a stray and nurse it back to health. After returning home, I moved on to become the animal cruelty officer for my County for several years and am a certified Veterinary Technician. I am medically retired now- and looking forward to caring for your pets! I'm a disabled veteran and single mother. My schedule is flexible! I intend to walk Ernst Trail, Roche Park, or the Woodcock Dam each morning and evening. I also offer pet transport to Veterinary appointments! I have linoleum floors, an open floor plan, and a fenced portion of my yard so pets cannot get to the road when I let them out off leash.

About: I work for a board kennel and doggie daycare. I care for dogs everyday and have a lot of experience with a variety of different dogs, big and small. I've had dogs for all of my life and also dog sit for many family friends and colleagues. I'm very passionate about dogs and caring for them. I'd love to help take care of your dogs, whether just a walk or pet sitting over several days. Working in the kennel industry has exposed me to a lot of different dog needs and temperaments. I’d be happy to come meet you and your dog and go over everything that require during my visits! Working with dogs is a joy for me and I will surely treat them like they are my own.

About: Thank you for visiting my profile! My partner and I love animals, especially dogs. I have no fear of animals, big or small, so am able to handle stressful situations with animals without being scared. I also have some experience working at dog shelters and day cares, where I was trained to handle stressful situations. We have always had pets and caring for them was our responsibility growing up. We are empathetic and energetic people, so your pet will get loads of love and playtime. I'm very good about bringing a dish and water with us while we walk in the heat. I am usually available all day! I would love the chance to meet your furry four legged friend A typical day includes plenty of playtime with my two boys, hanging out in my shady backyard, and relaxing on the futon in the AC My partner and I have a fenced in yard and two friendly excited pups to provide company! always keep water bowls fresh, filled, and cleaned. many trips outside for playtime and bathroom breaks. plenty of toys and fun to keep your pet(s) entertained and happy

“Our dogs did great with Milan for a weekend dog sitting! Milan was consistently on time and did great with keeping our dogs fed and taking them on walks. We really appreciate how well Milan communicated and shared pictures! That really gave us peace of mind while we took a weekend away. Our pups immediately were at ease with him when we first did our meet and greet, and were excited to see Milan each visit - even though they usually take a few minutes to warm up to strangers. He gave them plenty of scratches and loving when he dropped by and they were very relaxed and happy when we got back. Having Milan look after our pups while we took a weekend away was great for us, and we would definitely book him again, and would recommend him to anyone else!”

About: I have had pets for all of my life and have gained a wealth of experience along the way. For several years I worked at a pet boarding and grooming facility where I obtained the knowledge of light grooming, and administering medications such as insulin. During my time working at this facility I also learned how to handle pets that may be aggressive wether it was caused by food, toys, or anxiety. I currently have four dogs and two cats who I love dearly. I have also had the joy of taking care of many animals all the way from puppy/kitten hood all the way to the rainbow bridge. I know how hard it can be to find someone you can trust to care for your fuzzy family member, but I hope you can find that with me. If you have any questions please ask me and I will be happy to answer I am currently working as a shipping manager for a small factory but I would like to make caring for pets my full time job. I have an invisible fence with one and a half acres of area to roam. I have pet stairs leading to those hard to reach areas (like the couch or bed) for small or senior pets. I also have a cart to pull behind my bike if there are any pets that aren't so active but like fresh air. My cats enjoy the luxury of having their own bedroom so they can have peace from the dogs when needed. And of course I have a plethora of toys and treats. I am willing to make accommodations for special needs pets.

“Conscientious, kind, and very caring! I really appreciated Jayme's help caring for my cat Benjamin!”
