About: As an animal person since birth I work hard to understand the specific needs and wants of each animal family member. I have worked with a wide variety of animals my whole life, in vet clinics, animal rehabs, farms, and homes. I can provide walks, hikes, senior care, interactive play time, personal attention, socialization, and general bathing and maintenance. I am incredibly intuitive and patient and pride myself in providing unique adaptive care to each pet. No pet is too big or small; too young or old! I care for all species as well. (dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, etc.) All animals deserve love and care! My work schedule is currently very flexible so most days are available at any time. I make sure to keep my calendar up to date. The safety of your pet is number one. I am more then happy to put in time to build trust with your pet. I even have a very patient dog of my own who can provide a friend to your dog or cat and help with socializing young or nervous animals. I not only care for your pet but your home. Any mess made by me or your pet I make sure to clean!

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was little and truly have a love of it. I have been taking care of other people's dogs for five years. I have experience with both senior dogs and puppies. I am currently not working a normal job so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets. I will have time for weekend and weekdays. I have a crate available for your pet if needed. There are two dogs where I live but both are very friendly and ready to play with new friends.

“Lena stayed at my house keeping my cats company for a week. She seemed to keep my cats very happy without me and left the house exactly how I left. Commutation was good and easy. I will hire again next time I need it.”

About: I've had dogs growing up, five of them being German shepherds and the other four being a lab and two mutts and a dachshund. We currently have two German shepherds and I walk them a ton and I spend a lot of time taking care of them, and then we have a dachshund who I just rescued from the place I work at. The place I work does dog boarding/daycare/training. I am a kennel tech so I just take care of all the boarding and daycare doggies. And on the weekends I also take care of all the training dogs when/if the trainers are away. I have worked there for a year and absolutely love it. I have had to deal with so many different dogs and their personalities and I've definitely learned to have a ton of patience with the job. I have been working in general since I was 14. I started at some neighbouring farms, doing farm work so I could ride their horses and earn some money. I then did a couple restaurant jobs and then found the place I currently work at. I have done dog sitting and cat sitting before many times, sometimes for family or friends of family who I don't know but I am happy to help out. The most I have dealt with at one time was seven dogs in total. I have watched people's dogs get trained while at work and I have been trained to use an e-collar and a prong collar so I am able to use those correctly! I really love my job, it means a lot to me I get to be in that environment and I'm depended on to keep them all safe and happy. I have early classes most days of the week, 3 days out of the week they start at 8 and end at 12, then the other two days start at 8 and end at two. I work weekends at my job but I call off whenever needed so I can dog sit At home I spend time walking the dogs mostly and hanging around the house with them. Every client I feel is different in how things are done at their home, so however you take care of your pets I'll follow

“Emily did an excellent job taking care of my three kitties! My crew liked her from the start and I appreciated the photos, videos, and updates she shared. She even vacuumed up litter and cardboard messes before I got home. I could relax while away knowing that my kitties were getting the love and attention they needed. I'll definitely be using Emily in the future!”

About: I grew up on a dairy farm and I've been around animals since I was a child. I have always had pets and currently own a Golden retriever (Milo) and two spoiled kitty cats (Klaus and Lyra). I was a vet assistant for a few years and have lots of experience taking care of others' animals. Let me care for yours ❤️. I understand all of their quirks and have no problem with special requests 😊 I'm a school counselor off for summer vacation so currently I have a lot of availability during the week. Let me come check on your pets during the day or if you need me to walk the dog (morning, day, or evening.. We have sheep And I grew up with cattle so I can also care for livestock while you are away. Think of me if you're going to be out of town I'll come and check on the house and your pets whatever you need. When I was in college I sometimes did house sit for people so I also have experience doing that if you need me to stay in your home a few nights or just come and check while you are away. Let me know what you need for your for babies.. I don't have a fenced in yard our dog has the halo collar, So if your pet needs a playdate I would be happy to bring him along. Or if you need a place for your dog to come and run and have a Halo caller we could set that up at my place.. Just let me know what your needs are and we'll work it out!😊

“Thank you so much for taking care of Baymax, even with his unpredictable demeanor. You did amazing and I was so happy it all worked out.”

I have house sat for many lovely dogs, included walks /runs, over nights and drop ins. I will treat your dog like it’s my own. I have a full time job working 12:00-8:30 Monday-Friday (it’s a little more flexible right now because I am in training. I am free on weekends! I will follow the rules that are left for the care of your dog/dogs because all dogs are different and they love their routines! I will make sure they have the least disruption as possible to their normal life.

“Highly recommended! Courtney did a fantastic job with my 3 dogs. Did a great job checking in and sending pics as well even though she didn’t have to. I will definitely book again.”

I’m available all through the day or night. Local to Wheeling. My yard is fenced in & I live right behind Pleasanton ball field/dogpark/playground for extra fun walks. I have a whole bedroom dedicated to boarding pets so no small crating is needed. It works out well. Would love to watch your pets for you. In your home or mine. I love all animals. I have a fenced in yard. Also live directly behind a playground & ball field for plenty of activity. Iv lived all my life with pets. Excited to help care for yours. I do prefer pet sitting at the pets home. I can however have pets in my home no problem. I can pick up & deliver as well. Short trips or long stays. All options open.😊

About: I have been taking care of animals for years. I have 25 pets of my own and love every animal. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pets!

When I am watching your pets at your home I follow the schedule that I’m given. I’ll include walks as well. When they’re at my house I have crates and a large back yard.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I have a certification in Veterinary Assisting and am experienced in administering medications. Whatever your pets require (food, walks, play), I’ll be happy to provide! Experienced with pets of all ages and will send you pictures and videos of your pets if you’d like. I am currently a student at Muskingum University. As such, I will only be available to stay overnight on weekends, but I can work around my schedule to feed and check in on pets on weekdays. I live on campus at Muskingum University, which means I’ll be unable to care for pets in my own home. My care in your home depends on what you require for your pet. Whether you want me to check in on them briefly or spend some hours keeping them company, I will follow your orders. If possible, I like to meet with you and your pet before I start watching them so that we can go over any instructions and they can feel more comfortable around me. Depending on their personality and sociability, I am equally happy playing with them or giving them space and reading while I’m keeping them company.

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors pets in the past while they’ve been out of town. Taking care of pets is something that I enjoy doing. I currently work full time and am looking for extra work mostly on the weekends but occasionally weekdays. Weekends I’m available at all times and weekdays I’m available mostly in the evenings. Wherever I’m providing care for pets, I make sure that they are in safe environments. Cleanliness is very important. I follow directions that I receive from the owners of the pets that I’m watching and give their pets attention.
