About: I am open for Dog walking and house sitting for all sizes of dogs and cats, as well as general care for small critters such as rabbits, hamsters, fish, birds and guinea pigs. I also have many years experience with horses, goats, sheep, and pigs. I have a very flexible schedule at this time. I've been an animal owner since I was a child. Always had a dog and cats growing up, also had fish, birds, hamsters and rabbits over the years. Despite being a part time student I have all online classes so fitting in your pets needs are very easily done at any hour. I live in an area of many bike trails and walking paths as well as a personal fenced in yard for any dogs who don't have access to dog parks or have socializing issues in large groups. I am currently unemployed and looking for a Part Time job. I will schedule animal care around that future schedule. I miss my rover days when I switched to full time work prior. I treat every clients pets and home with respect and care for it as my own. When I'm house sitting i often supply my own snacks and such and tell pet owners they don't need to supply me. I stay within the set boundaries of each home as well.
“Brandy was amazing for my sweet, old cat, Emi! Emi can feel anxious in new situations, but anyone can tell that Brandy has such a warm, loving presence with animals so Emi warmed up to her immediately and got lots of love. Brandy was also super flexible and accommodating, which was so helpful around the holidays. Would absolutely recommend!!”
“Tina was great and did everything we asked of her! I can tell by the photos she sent that our cat Daytona really enjoyed her company! I would absolutely recommend her and rebook with her again!”
“Toni went above and beyond! Not only did she take superior care of our little cavapoo, Bailey, she brought our garbage cans in from the curb and offered to check in on Bailey one more time if we were running late. Excellent care and service!!”
“Thanks again for caring for dior when I couldn't”
About: I am a Certified Veterinary Technician with 5 years of experience in the veterinary setting. I have had pets my whole life and in college when I wasn't able to have pets I spent time at the local humane society playing with cats and walking dogs. I currently have 2 cats, Willow and Kinzley, and 2 dogs, Dumptruck and Ranger. Dumptruck is a 110lb St. Bernard mix and Ranger is a 26lb unknown mix. Dumptruck is a gentle giant but Ranger has anxiety and is on medications for this so I am comfortable working with dogs that aren't as confident on lease or around strangers. I am currently taking a break from my job to spend more time with family so my schedule varies but is usually open and flexible. I want to make sure that food and water are appropriately accessible when and how your pets are used to. In addition, I also would like to ensure your pets are getting appropriate enrichment I also want to make sure that litterboxes are cleaned regularly.
About: I have extensive experience with dogs of all backgrounds and breeds, I've worked at a doggy Daycare for 2 years and in that time I have learned everything I possibly can about dog body language! I also have a neurotic 1.5 year old golden retriever puppy at home that has really taught me how to work with dogs that get overstimulated too easy, and also how important mental stimulation is! Currently I have a very set schedule! I go to school Monday-Thursday from 7:30am-3:30pm and after that I might work on some homework but I'm usually doing some enrichment activities with my families dog, like playing fetch, trick work, hide and go seek with treats, and whatever else I can think of! On Fridays I usually work 6:30am-11:15am and then 1:30pm-6pm, and every other Saturday I work 7am-11am! I will treat your house how I treat an expensive store that sells fragile ceramics, don't touch anything at all and barley look. When it comes to dogs I treat each one that I work with, with the utmost respect, I always let dogs come to me and I fully respect their boundaries! I also absolutely love doing some training work so if you have any tricks that you like to work on I would love to know!!
