About: I’ve always had two dogs and a cat growing up! I currently have two cats. I have previously worked at a doggy daycare and currently work at a vet office/ grooming salon! I have learned how to spot behaviors and certain health signs, administer medications, and give exceptional baths! I’m dedicated to providing the best care possible for your pet(s) so you never have to worry while you’re away! I work full time at my vet office. I am typically working 7:30-5 with a break from 1-2 on Monday, Thursday, and Friday, and work 7:30-2:30 on Tuesday and Wednesday.My weekends are mostly open unless I must work, which only occupies me from 7:30-8 and 3:30-4 both days. I typically only work 1-2 weekends a month. I am more than happy to fit ur pet into my schedule and can work to find the right fit for both of us! Your home and pet will be treated the same as I treat mine; with the upmost care! I can promise your home and pet will be found the same as you left or even better if you request it! I understand how worrisome it can be to have someone else in your home and caring for your pet, but it’s my passion to ensure your worries are gone when I’m caring for your animals!

12. Kayleyann S.
About: Since I was little being a vet was always a dream of mine. Since I was around 10 I would watch friends dogs on the side to persuade my family to get me one of my own haha. I then was then surprised with my little man Duke and have loved him ever since. He was a rescue dog who’s other family was unable to care for him. I’ve had him ever since! As I’ve gotten older I started my college degree in the arts program, but still had the passion for animals and dogs especially. I then decided to work at dog daycare as a dog handler for a the past year and still currently and fell in love with it. Ive experienced all different breeds and different personalities. I gained more knowledge in certain behaviors and how to respond to a animal in most situations, such as how to always be patient with each other and gain trust. I learned more ways to care for an animals diet and even hygiene! As well as provide animals with there daily medications. I’m glad I can still do my art degree as well as my other passion at the same time! Now as my dog has gotten older and is currently 12. I’ve been able to put in that Knowledge into stuff that keeps him more happy everyday. Pet care has forever taken a daily routine since I was little. I’m always sure to keep an eye on my dogs health, as well as give him love and kisses everyday! Pets are practically are children and family, and are always on our mind. I couldn’t go a day without my dog or pets fitting my daily routine. Since I’ve spent recent time working at a dog daycare, it’s been natural with checking on pets everyday! For my dog, he’s a bit more of the quiet lazy type haha! Though I still make sure I show him plenty of playtime and love. I walk him a few times daily and am sure to always stock him up on plenty of treats and food as well as any medication. As the same with any pet sits I’ve done in the past, I always make sure there in the best mood and care! Walk them plenty of times with daily exercise as well as feed and give plenty of play time and love!

17. Katherine F.
About: I have taken care of others dogs since I was sixteen. Coworkers, friends, and family would ask me to house sit for then whenever they went on vacation. I am currently going to school for veterinary technician. It fits in my life as a daily since I have two babies of my own. Both of my animals are inside babies, but since I do have a dog I make sure my yard is safe for them and my kitten and dog are played with. I also keep the house clean so they had come home to a clean fresh smelling house.

19. Haiden S.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. I have been in households full of all types of dogs and animals. I have volunteered at the animal society numerous times. I know all the ins and outs of dogs. I have a puppy right now so I know especially what to do with puppies! I am currently in college and able to watch your dogs, take them on walks or even look after them in your home! I am currently in school at Georgia Southern University. I will have plenty of time to play with your furry friends! I am open to a lot of times. I will be able to watch your dog in your home by giving them snuggles all day! I love playing out in the backyard and taking dogs for walks.
20. Adriane W.
About: My love of large dogs runs deep but all dogs are welcome! I grew up in a home with German Shepards and Doberman Pinschers and currently own a German Shepard and a Yorkie. So I understand the frustrations of large dog owners when searching for the accommodations small dog owners take for granted. I'm an artist who is able to set my schedule as I like so I'm able to adjust to your pets schedule not make them adjust to mine. For me its important that your pet feels as comfortable as possible. Like children all dogs are different and their needs are different. Please let me know if there are things that will help me provide your pet with the best possible experience!
