She has also kept our cats multiple times while we were out of town and has done an excellent job making sure they were given the correct food and given lots of attention and love.

9. Karmy T.
About: I've provided care for cats and dogs ranging from kitten and puppy to senior. I've been walking and doing daily in-home visits for several years, as well as taking care of my own animals. I also have experience with lizards and rabbits. I work part-time, so I'm flexible and have more open availability. I'm usually avaliable on short notice and can make earlier morning or later evening visits or extended visits during vacations. I'm happy to follow any care instructions you may have, including crating or other special considerations. I'm fine administering meds and also have some experience with wound care.

12. Melissa K.
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was nine years old. I had two dogs and now we have a third because the first one passed away. I have also experienced being a dog daycare attendant for six months back in 2022. I know a variety of dog’s behavior and their need of love and affectionate when their owners are busy. I’m currently in graduate student at James Madison University and I would like to fit some pet care time after my classes in the mid afternoon to evening. For your pets, I can provide them with their daily food, routines, and pets and loving when they are needed. As well as giving them time to play with their toys.

About: I am a social worker by trade, and currently I am professor at two local colleges. I also write books and and do photography. I specialize in social psychology and I am intuitive to human and animal needs. As mentioned, I am an adjunct professor, write, and do photography. As such I have free time to care for your pet daily and at various times. I have always cared for my pets like family (and some may argue a little better, lol). I have a SUV and know different locations to walk your pet, or I can walk them locally. I also love cats and can spend time in your home playing with with them and the infamous red dot or other toys. I am also familiar with all types of animals and can care for your farm animals and other in door animals.

17. Lauren G.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 13. Family and friends have asked me to walk and feed their dogs, cats, and I have even assisted them in caring for their chickens! I am quite skilled in taking care of senior animals. My two old pups passed away at the age of 15 and 16! I also have a 15 year old cat, Sally. So, I know the importance of being patient and loving to old and young animals. I am available 7 days a week, although three days a week I work at a part time job from 4-10. Just send me a message and I’m sure I can make some time for your furry friend ! I am able to come to your home and take care of your animals in their familiar surroundings - I love to give them lots of attention and play time! I will send video and photo updates at each visit if requested!
18. audrey h.
About: I have had dogs and cats since I was born. I have often pet sat for family and friends. I have also trained my family dogs basic needs. I work part-time for only a few hours out of the day 3-4 days a week, so I am normally available often. I am always home during the day and love to hangout with animals in my free time. I do not have a fenced yard but I can easily take pets on walks around my neighborhood. We have things put away so there is nothing they could eat or get hurt with. We keep our apartment clean and our door locked at all times.
