About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm so really I've been taking care of animals for 25 years, but I started caring for my neighbors pets when I was about 10. I would usually go check on them a couple times a day and feed and water. But once I moved out and got married, I started looking to make more income so I learned to groom dogs. While I don't groom much any more, I made friends with my clients and would offer to board their pets if needed. I currently tend to a couple families pets in Malad every so often but would love to make my services public and help those who need a safe place for their fur babies to stay. I have many years of animal welfare and care so what to look out for for animal safety, can handle emergencies well, and can understand basic dog signs and emotions. I currently work part time so I have free time to play with your animals. I am usually available around 2 on weekdays and all day on weekends I have a yard for your dogs to play, along with 2 friendly dogs of my own to keep yours company. I can keep your dog in crate inside or a clean and secure outside kennel if the weather is good. I am flexible and try my best to make sure both owners and dogs are comfortable.
About: Animals are my passion making them happy wanted and comfortable is my goal while away from home and give there owners peace of mind knowing there in good hands. I volunteer at local animal shelter but I don't do it all day so I can still make time to spend with your furry pet friend I prefer to take care of the pets in there on home so they feel more at ease in a familiar environment but parks are always an option too.
About: I have a rescue who is now 8. I have taken care of him for 8 years and my friends animals. I love all animals and would give really great care to your pet. I am currently available to watch your pet at almost any time of day. I am available on weekends and holiday's. Being flexible in very important to me, so I can make you and your pet happy. I follow the instructions given to me by the pet owner and follow the needs of the pet. I can walk your dog. Feed and water them on their regular time. If crate trained I can crate them.
“She is great with my dog Barry and is always punctual with her visits with him. She has a lot of patience and pays attention to detail when it comes to keeping Barry safe and cared for. Definitely will rebook with her!”
About: I am an animal lover! If I could have 20+ animals I would!🥰 I have taken care of my parents dogs, my own dogs, & friends dogs & cats. I have taken care of puppies, kittens. and older dogs. I currently am working but, I have plenty of spare time after work and during lunch, and I’d love to spend that time with your fur babies. :) I usually care for pets as the owners want me to, feed at the certain times, walks, play time, etc. Love giving treats and cuddles. Treating them like my own.
“Catherine is great helper for our family. A few days before leaving she came by our home so I can give her a quick introduction to the cats and how to feed them. In addition I had to give her extra instructions as to when to let our contractor who needed to work inside the house while I was gone. She updated us with texts as to how the cats were doing. I liked that. I really appreciate Catherine and will definitely hire her again.”
About: I've helped raise multiple litters of puppies from birth until they found their forever home. I have always had dogs in my home growing up. I also provide bathing and nail trims to dogs of every size. As a stay at home mom with one child, I'll have plenty of time in my day to take the time to play with your dog(s) and am available just about every day of the week! Alongside my own set of rules, I like to abide by what the pet parent says, since that is what the animal is most comfortable with. When taking dogs for walks, I don't like to use flexi-leashes. I find those unsafe as the mechanism can fail and I think most dogs don't need that much leash freedom at will.
About: I've done years of work in animal shelters and am very experienced in animal care. I specialize and have done most work with dogs, cats, and horses. I'm happy to care for animals with special medical or behavioral needs. I have dogs, cats, and an infant in my home. I can only take crate trained, potty trained, and well-mannered dogs in my home due to having cats and a baby. However I can house-sit animals with any behavioral or medical issues with ease. I am unable to stay overnight however I can stop in multiple times a day to care for the animals. I can also care for livestock on the property if need be. Stay at home human and fur mom as of right now. So I can do multiple drop ins a day, as well as available on weekends. Fenced in yard and never left unsupervised. If I need to leave the home I crate all dogs go ensure everyone's safety. Snacks for the doggos also included. 😉

Kenzie K.
“Kenzie is an amazing dog sitter. She’s kind and gentle with my pups. I have 3 dogs and she’s able to give them all attention without jealousy. She understands the needs of each of my dogs and makes sure they are taken care of. Kenzie is very responsible and I trust her to come to my house and come in without me being here. She’s a great person to have in our life.”
