Cassie is very caring and companionate with animals. She currently works for a vet clinic so she has a lot of experience with both cats and dogs. I myself have two golden retrievers and she takes the best care of them when I need her to.

My mom is a very hard driven person who loves to get the job done. Whenever we’ve had all our dogs including the Australian shepherd we have now, she always gives them lots of playtime and walks for good exercise. I would highly recommend booking with my mom to care for your pets if you want them to feel loved and feel as though they are still at home :)

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have been surrounded by them from a young age. Thanks to my sister being a vet tech, I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—from dogs and cats to chickens, bunnies, hedgehogs, chameleons, geckos, and fish. I also worked in a dog kennel for about 2 years in highschool, it’s my favorite job i've had & definitely provides me with the experience to care for your pet! I hope you book with me, i already can't wait to meet your fur babies! ☺️ Available very early mornings, afternoon, and evening. I am pretty flexible during the day so we can discuss and I can possibly adjust my schedule to your needs! Whether in your home or mine, I prioritize a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow your pet’s routine, provide plenty of attention, and ensure they always have fresh water, a cozy space, and engaging activities. Their well-being and happiness are my top priorities!

Jaime has cared for my three dogs on many occasions. My smallest requires daily meds and Jaime is very good about doing that as well as any other requests/instructions given. She spends playtime with them and goes above and beyond by sending pictures or short videos of three very happy pups. She is my go to person when I need my pups looked after. Thank you, Jaime!

About: I've cared for dogs and cats of every kind since I was 15 years old. I started working part-time at Meyer’s Tails Up Farm as a Kennel Technician. I continued to worked part-time at Meyer’s Kennel until I graduated High School and was able to join their team full time. As a Kennel Technicain, I was responsible for the daily care of animals in a kennel setting, including: Animal care: Feeding animals according to their dietary needs, providing fresh water, administering medications as directed by a veterinarian. Cleaning and sanitation: Maintaining cleanliness of kennels, cages, and common areas by cleaning, disinfecting, and replacing bedding regularly. Exercise and socialization: Walking dogs, providing playtime, and engaging animals in appropriate enrichment activities to maintain their physical and mental health. Health monitoring: Observing animals for signs of illness or distress, reporting any abnormalities to the veterinarian. Animal handling: Safely restraining animals for procedures like medication administration, grooming, or transport. Record keeping: Maintaining accurate records of animal health, behavior, feeding schedules, and any medical treatments. I worked many years as a Technician and I was later promoted to Show Assistant. As a Show Assistant, I would travel with The Meyer’s the owners to Dog Shows to take care of the animals while we were on the road. The job responsibilities are pretty much the same as being a Kennel Technician, just doing it on the road instead of at the kennel. I also as a Show Assistant was responsible for getting the show dogs prepped and assisted the Meyer’s while they groomed the Show Dogs. We got them looking their best for when they entered the show ring. I pretty much have been around animals my whole life. Not just working with them but, growing up around them. Which is where my love for animal first begun. Both my parents also worked at Meyer’s . One of my parents was the Supervisor at the kennel and worked for them for over 20 years before passing away. My mom still is grooming for them at their other location for the past 17 years. My parents had 3 Soft Coat Weaton Terriers named Squash, Lucy, Apollo and 3 cat named Fisher,Ethel and Scooter. I participated in multiple different training classes with Lucy, Squash and Apollo with including agility classes. When I moved out of my parents house in 2011, I got my very 1st dog. A puppy named Wallie, he is a Shih Tzu poodle mix. Wallie and I completed training classes together and he got a certificate “Caine Good Citizen”. Wallie is still with us today. He is 14 years old and still going strong. My husband and I couple of years ago got our 2nd dog a Husky Puppy Named Daisy Mae. “She definitely kept us on our toes when she was a puppy. “She was a big ball of energy that was all over the place”. Now being older and with training she has calmed down alot . She is the sweetest, smartest and most loving 2 year old girl. We also have our 1 tuxedo cat Sokka, he is 7 years old. 2 Maine coon cats named Sunflower, she is 5 years old and Petals , he is 3 years old. I can’t forget about our two gold fish that my son won at the Byron Carnival 3 years ago Fishy and Rocky. I’m currently working part-time and I create my own schedule. I will have plenty of time for your furry friends. I am currently available on weekends as a sitter. You can schedule your furry friends walks. I will work my schedule around your furry friends needs. I will respect the clinic instructions and follow them in detail to ensure their home and the safety of their furry pets. If their furry pet needs to be crated for their safety I will. I make sure their pet will be watched and that they

Miranda took care of our two cats on multiple occasions. She is a compassionate person, who puts extra attention and care into her work. She took extra time to play with our boys every time she visited, on top of ensuring their food was taken care of, and the litter box was clean. I highly recommend working with her!

About: I’ve been working with animals professionally now for 3 years. I have worked in shelters, clinics, and doggy daycare and boarding as well as owned animals my whole life. I am currently going to school for dog training! I have multiple pets in my home every day. I have a dog named Zoomie, a cat named Nala, and a pet rat named Rocket. Zoomie and Nala get fed twice a while getting enrichment activities daily. Zoomie gets walks and playtime in the yard and Nala has her own leash and harness and gets to explore the yard as well. I am also going through dog training school so all day I am learning new things about different dog breeds and enrichment. I currently am a full time student and have a part time job so my schedule changes weekly! I have been learning different enrichment activities and training exercises that will help a dog stay mentally enriched and would plan on walking the dogs multiple times a day so that their physical exercise is met. I am quite flexible and can do almost any special requests that a client might need!

About: Fur babies are my life … No literally! 🤗 I’m a Veterinarian Assistant so caring for your pet is literally what I do, what I love.🥰 I work 12hr shifts but only 3 days a a week at a Veterinarian Hospital. So that gives me tons of extra time during the week. I have a fenced in yard and a very nice fur baby to keep your fur baby company. I do also have created if needed.
