I'm an overall animal lover, and I have worked with the humane society of Mount Pleasant through my school's program, called HATS of CMU. Additionally, I will love and care for your dogs (or cats) like they're one of my own :) I am fully available and fully committed to caring for your pets regardless of the time of day. Please contact a day in advanced for an AM scheduling request. I currently live in an apartment so I cannot house more than the two cats that I currently have. However, I will make sure to follow the schedule that you already have for your animals and will remain attentive to them and provide the quality care that they deserve :)

About: Hi I’m Leandra Hanner. I love both dogs and cats. I have 3 cats of my own whom I love very much. I’m happy to help with your pets! Book with me this holiday season! The one cancellation you see on my account was for an attempted cat boarding the meet and greet went great but hours later my cat started acting strange. That is the one and only cancellation on my account. We only do in house cat services. I promise you I am reliable but it’s dog only for boarding. Hi I’m Leandra and together with my husband we offer a loving and reliable pet care service through rover. I’m currently a SMC student and work as in home care aid for elderly, who has a soft spot for animals. We bring a compassionate and attentive approach to every pet we look after.

About: I've always had the ability to easily connect with dogs. I've spent the past ten years walking and socializing rescue animals as a volunteer at the Humane Society. I've worked with every age range, from puppies to senior dogs in hospice care. I bring that experience with me each and every time I work with an animal, as each and every animal is unique. Pet care is a part of my everyday life. I'm currently working part-time, leaving me with plenty of time during the day to take care of both my animal, and yours. I also volunteer my free time at the Humane Society of Elkhart County. Communication is key. I'll set up guidelines and boundaries with you ahead of time, making sure each animal has their specific needs met during the visit. Leashes will always be used on walks and doors will always be closed and locked when not in use. Do you have certain areas, rooms, or furniture that are off limits? Boundaries will be set up and respected to ensure that both your pets and home will be treated with respect.

About: I have taken care of many different dogs and cats for family and friends. I always had pets growing up and I currently have 3 dogs of my own. I’m currently working part-time teaching dance to the youth between 4-9pm. This leaves my whole morning/afternoon open. I do have weekend business trips here and there but most weekends are available. I have a fenced in yard and three friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have a crate for any dogs that need it. As well as extra leashes and harnesses for walks.

“Sonny did a great job with Coco. She communicated well during all the visits and gave Coco lots of affection. Will definitely book her again!”

About: I’ve had dogs, mostly Dachshunds, the majority of my life. Our pets are our family, and I would treat yours with the same loving care while you are away that I would want for my own. I have personal experience caring for my own disabled Dachshund who needed his bladder expressed as well as our other Dachshund who was going through chemo for lymphoma. I know how hard it can be to find trusted special care for your beloved pet. I’m currently in nursing school so I'm out and about often for drop in visits. I require a Meet and Greet before booking new clients to meet your pet and talk about what your needs are for their care. I believe that trust is earned and would be honored to care for your furry family. My dog was disabled and in a wheelchair for 7 happy years. I understand special individualized care.

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs with health problems all my life. I also worked at a cat cafe with all ages and sizes of cats. I’m very comfortable with all kinds of dogs as well. I’d love to care for your fur babies as much as you need! Need someone to stop by and take your pup for a walk? I’ll be there! Need someone to feed your kitty? I’m on my way! I spend my time caring for your animals. They are my number one priority! I am good at giving medications and caring for nervous animals.

About: I have had dogs all my life, most of which were rescued. I also took a class from victoria stillwell on her website designed to teach you how to understand your dog. I adore all dogs and love to learn their different personalities. I never back away from a challenging behavior because I know alot of dogs have experienced trauma just like alot of people. I work full and my schedule can change week to week but my boss try's to keep it consistent. I typically work 7-6 monday through Wednesday 8-4 on Friday's. Anytime this changes I will immediately contact you and work something else out if it conflicts with specific requested times (such as dog walking). I walk my husky each morning before work regardless of what time I go in so you can be sure I will MAKE the time if I have to. :) I will follow any and all rules/schedules you have for your dog. I will also assist with training if asked. If I am house sitting I will do my utmost to keep the house and its schedule the same as you do when you are home. I am happy to train, play, or just hang out with your doggy pal.

“He did an amazing job. My pack is naughty;) But, not knowing us at all, he stepped up to the job. I will definitely book again. Thank you Jeremiah!”

About: Hello! My name is Hanna I am 25 years old I have 2 dogs named Odis and Alfi who I dedicate my whole life to so I thought hey why not get paid to do what I love which is be around furry babies :) I am looking to provide any service you might need for your dog I do not currently work so my schedule is completely open. I have a house with a fenced backyard and know all the best doggy safe walking spots. We live across the street from 10 acres and one house down from another 20 acre property that our friends own so I bring my dogs to run around. I have grown up around dogs and worked at a dog boarding facility so I am very comfortable with handling many different personalities( I was also certified in dog CPR through my job). Both my dogs LOVE… and I mean LOVE… other dogs and are very socialized so if you need more long term care weather that be spending the whole day or even multiple days we would love to welcome your baby into our home. We have an extra room in the house if you would prefer your dog get some time to themselves I can put on some tv and let them relax unbothered. I understand not all dogs like other dogs so if you need just walks or drop in visits to your home that is great too! If your dog needs a bathe and blow dry before they get home I can do that for an extra $10(depending on size of dog). Thank you for taking the time to get to know me I am so very excited to start this journey and meet new furry angel friends! (More photos in my pets profile pages) My schedule is completely open right now because I am not working. I do have two dogs of my own that I walk twice a day and do not like to leave at home alone for more than 4 hours. Pets are family and they will be treated like that in my home. I have 2 baskets full of toys (my dogs both know how to share!) and I am a big believer on enrichment outside of just walks so I also have plenty of lick mats, snuffle boards, and treat puzzles. I have a big fenced in backyard with a doggy door so my dogs are out constantly they can just go in and out as they please. Any dog is welcome on my furniture including my bed but I do have an empty room if your dog needs time to themselves. I could go on talking for hours so I’m gonna stop here and just say if you have ANY questions let me know I will be sure to answer them!!

About: I love caring for others animals, and look forward to helping your family. I have a 13-year-old black lab and used to have a 20-year-old cat that I have helped take care of since they were born! I am used to walking animals, giving them tons of attention, feeding them and I have experience giving medication to dogs and cats, as my dog had diabetes and my cat needed a shot every once in a while. I also have experience with smaller animals like bunnies, guinea pigs and hamsters if needed. Hope to talk to you soon if you are interested! I’m currently at home working part time so I’ll have a lot of availability. My schedule varies week by week but I usually know it a couple weeks in advance! I have no problem doing home visits or staying the night with your pets at your home if that is what you are looking for. I am available both week days and weekends, and try to update my availability as often as I can! Unfortunately, I can not provide home services at the moment due to having my own pets at home, but am very experienced staying with pets at their own home!

“Shawn braved the December snowstorms several times a day to care for our four little fur babies. She is a true pet-sitting extraordinaire—extremely knowledgeable, reliable, and devoted.”

About: I've been around pets and other animals for as long as I can remember as a kid (a LONG time ago, lol!). Dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, birds, etc., of all breeds and varieties. This has still not changed to this day, and I currently have three German Shepherds who are just big sweethearts. I can't imagine ever not having pets of some sort. I have recently semi-retired and finally have some time and freedom to pursue things that I love with pet care being one. I pretty much have an open schedule for whatever and whenever your needs may be. I currently have three large dogs with a fairly small house so sitting here would be challenging right now. We are in the process of reworking our space and fencing in the rest of the yard, so this will change in the future. But still open to any other arrangements that might be required. All good for walking and visits though!
