About: Have enjoyed the company and joy of cats and dogs for many years. Have taken care of puppies, kittens and elderly pets and realize the care that’s required. They’ll be treated as family. I work Monday through Friday typically with Saturdays and Sundays off. 6am - 2pm I work with DoorDash, shipt and Instacart so my time is flexible. I have 4 parakeets. I can work in four hour increments to allow for a day time bathroom break. Of course a morning and afternoon walk along with daily playtime.

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and know how to treat them with care and respect. I grew up with multiple animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to pet sit as long as it’s outside my work time (usually I work 1 or 2 days a week but other than that I’m free) I will care for your pet according to whatever instructions you give me and I will of course treat your pet with kindness and the love it deserves, just as you would.

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. All my fur babies have been trained by me. if you have a puppy that is still in training I have no problem with that. we have all been there. I worked for a year at a local animal rescue. Where I was able to strengthen my knowledge on behavioral training and pet health. I am a college student and am free lot of the time but class are during the day. So breaks away from your fur babies might be longer during the semester. My top priority is to make sure your animals are safe and secondly happy. This means checking on not only your fur babies but also your house to make sure there are no new problems arise. Checking off the to-do list is numbee one but giving your pet time to play and enrichment is also an important priority of mine.

About: I'm 33 years old. I grew up on a farm and have been around animals my whole life! I unfortunately lost my fur baby in January of 2022 and due to landlord issues I can’t have another of my own again yet! I work full time as a nanny out of my home during the week, I'm very responsible and caring. I try to have flexible scheduling and would love to be able to care for your fur baby. I've been house sitting for about 8 years now. I'm a hard worker just looking for a chance to make a little extra money on the side doing what I love. Children and animals are my passion. I'm experienced with fish, turtles, dogs, cats, horses, cows and other farm animals. If you take a chance on me I promise you won't be disappointed!! I can do overnights and mid day potty breaks, as I work full time with a 8-5/6 schedule. They would unfortunately have to be on their own for most of the day though. I can’t have the animals in my personal home but I would do whatever you are comfortable with to keep them safe inside your home. I have experience with crating if necessary. Also have experience with cameras inside the home to keep an eye on your animals

About: i am a reliable and trustworthy individual who will provide exceptional care and attention to your pets when you’re away. i’ve taken care of dogs since i was little and have always loved them. As each year has passed, i’ve taken care of more dogs along with other pets like guinea pigs,birds,fish and cats. i’m capable of taking care of senior dogs and ones with special needs. I know what it’s like to care for an old dog that struggles with certain things. they would still get the exact same amount of attention as any other dog would. i’m very compassionate when it comes to animals. your pets needs are first priority. they’re happiness is what matters most. any pet of yours will be loved on, cuddled and cared for with me looking after them i don’t have a job but i’m still quite busy helping my family out during the week with therapy/doctor appointments. my brother is handicapped and so he has to go to therapy a few days a week all the way up in cincinnati which takes half a day. im also helping homeschool my younger brothers during the week. in my opinion i know the weekends would work the best bc I’m usually not doing anything which means that i could have my full attention on your pet(s). however we could always talk in advance about the schedule and i could make take time during the week work if needed They’ll have my full attention. I will always play with them to get them to exercise and have some fun. I can also take them on walks and runs and take them out for potty breaks. if they need to be fed at a certain time or need any type of medicine then that is very important to know in advance. Also knowing if they get along with other people/pets. we don’t want anything bad happening so knowing anything and everything about your pet(s) in advance is highly recommended.

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up. I have always had a great bond with each one of them. As of right now I have a big golden doodle, and a little Aussie doodle, I love them both so much. My friends make fun of me because I baby them so much, I take them on car rides with me all the time and buy them ice cream cones every now and then. I promise to treat your dogs exactly how I treat mine! I’m currently unemployed, I’m about to go off to college in about a month so I’m just trying to find something to do in the meantime to keep me busy. I do play sports though so that does keep me busy but I can kind of move around when I want to practice or train so I should be pretty available. Well I take both of my dogs for walks often. I have a aussie doodle who is little, and a golden doodle who is huge, so no matter how big or small your dog is I can handle them.
