Pet Sitting Dry Ridge

About: I communicate and send pictures and updates with all visits. I care for you pet like they were my own & they'll get snuggles and extra love from my kids. I used to work for the PetSmart pet hotel back in college and I've had experience with all sorts of animals from farm animals to domestic pets. I have more recent experience with farm animals such as goats, chickens, quail, rabbits, peacocks, sheep, guardian dogs, donkeys, and ducks, horses, and some livestock. I recently sold my farm to move closer to town. I am a stay at home mama and I can come in the mornings and evenings at minimum but likely will add in 1-2 mid day visits. I communicate everything and expectations with you. I have a fenced yard, I can bring a leash or small kennel for cats, I'm experienced with loop leads, regular collars, and harnesses.

“Our second time with Clare was just as great as the first. We love that she's reliable and consistent so we have no worries about our 3 kitties while we're away.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting professionally for around 5 years now and am very comfortable with most kinds of animals. I have experience in training pups, senior care, and medication administration. I’ve cared for animals with tumor-induced epilepsy, blastomycosis, diabetes, recovery from surgery, etc. In other words, I am prepared to care for your animal in whatever capacity they require. I work a part-time position that requires Saturday evenings and at least one 8 hour shift in the morning through the week. Other than that, I am available to be with your companions at all times of the day as per need. I will care for your pet in whatever capacity necessary. If they must be crate trained at night, fed daily medicine, diaper changed, regular training practice in basic skills (sitting, etc.), frequent walks, bathed, trimmed, I'm your girl. I’ll do my best to make them comfortable with me and happy in your home (even if that means love from a distance for some of our timid fellas).

About: I’m the family pet sitter. We have 5 cats and 5 dogs between us all and I’m the one they call when they go out of town to watch them. I am in between jobs currently so I am looking to do something to help supplement income. I just need a days notice so I can be ready to get up and go! I treat them like they are my own. Playtime, cuddles, treats, you name it. I love animals. I may spend extra time with them just giving them loves.

About: I’ve been around all sizes and breeds of dogs since I could remember!! I currently have 2 weimereigners and one beagle!! They stay at my dad’s while I am away for college which is part of the reason I love dog sitting!! I’ve helped raise 2+ litters of puppies and made sure they went to good homes with my family!! I am comfortable with all dogs, any age between the terrible 2s/going on walks and your senior buddy that needs to be let out and given some reassurance! I have experience with giving medication, making sure the dogs I take care of are listening well, and making sure they are happy and healthy! I currently work as a nanny and serve on the side. I am also a student at NKU. This means that I am available to give breakfast, let them out, give walks and make sure they start their day with a good morning for 1-3 hours!! Swing back around by lunch time DEPENDING ON THE DAY/WEEK and make sure they are fed dinner and let out/walked for night time!! Sometimes I’m required to be gone for 4-7 hours so that means as soon as I am off I would make sure to be there to let them out, feed dinner, take on walks, and spend quality time with your furry friends for however long u need! I’m available overnight if your pets need someone to sleep with or have during that time! Sometimes my shifts last until 10pm which allows me to head to whoever’s home I’m sitting for and make sure they are in bed and tucked in!! I’m also available for weekend morning walks/some days weekly and more! I’m pretty flexible depending on my clients needs!! I cannot care for any pets in my new apartment! While at my dad’s I make sure their area is clean, they are baited properly, fed and watered, as well as played with throughout the week whether it be fetch or toys!! I make sure my beagle can sleep with me nightly when I am home and he is unable to sleep with others in the family! When it comes to others pets and taking care of them in your home, I always make sure the food and water bowls are full (depending on instructions) and the animals are taken out and exercised plenty!!

About: I am a true animal lover and an empty-nester that works from home. My house is in a wooded setting with a larger fenced yard and a neighboring park next door for afternoon walks, if requested. I am home throughout the day and night, so your pet will have round-the-clock care, and easy to arrange drop-off. Boarded dogs receive an individual pet room, so they do not have to be confined in crates or smaller enclosures, if preferred. I currently am self-employed and work from home and am able to care for your fur baby or babies 24/7, minus the occasional errand or appointment. Pet care is my #1 priority. I have a large fenced yard, and spend supervised time with your pet outdoors for play and activity. I live alone, and take personal responsibility for your pet, with attention throughout the day. Your pet will be assigned their own pet bedroom where they will have a dedicated, secure, comfortable space.

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels. From fun-filled walks and playtime to administering medications and providing attentive senior care, I tailor my approach to each dog’s unique needs. I’m also skilled in basic training and maintaining a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. My passion for keeping dogs happy and healthy ensures they feel loved and cared for while you’re away. Daily Routine:     1.    Morning Care:     •    Start the day with a morning potty break for Tootsie, followed by her breakfast. Puppies often have high energy in the morning, so I set aside 15-20 minutes for a walk or playtime to help her burn off energy.     •    This ensures she’s settled while I begin my workday.     2.    Midday Break:     •    Working from home allows me to schedule a midday potty break and a short walk. This keeps Tootsie active and gives me a mental break from work.     3.    Afternoon Engagement:     •    I incorporate short play sessions between tasks to provide Toots with mental stimulation, whether it’s a game of fetch, tug, or a puzzle toy.     •    These breaks are timed to coincide with natural pauses in my workflow, helping me stay refreshed and productive.     4.    Evening Care:     •    I dedicate time for a longer walk or play session to meet her exercise needs.     •    Dinner and another potty break follow, ensuring she’s relaxed for the evening.     5.    Winding Down:     •    We end the day with cuddle time and one last potty break before bed, maintaining her routine and comfort. Weekly Routine:     •    Training Sessions: I include short, 5-10 minute training sessions daily to reinforce good behaviors and teach new commands.     •    Socialization: On weekends, I take my dog to a park or pet-friendly area to expose her to new environments, people, and other dogs.     •    Grooming and Maintenance: Weekly brushing keeps her long coat healthy, and I check her nails and ears regularly to prevent any issues.     •    House Cleaning: I allocate time to clean her bedding, toys, and the areas where she spends time to maintain hygiene. Working from home makes it easier to integrate these tasks naturally into my day. It ensures Tootsie’s needs are met while allowing me to balance work responsibilities effectively. When caring for pets in either my own home or a client's home, I prioritize safety by ensuring a secure environment, following their specific care instructions diligently, closely monitoring their behavior, and always keeping their well-being at the forefront, including providing proper food, water, exercise, and access to designated bathroom areas, while fostering a trusting relationship through consistent routines and gentle interactions. Key aspects of pet care, depending on the service offered: Basic Needs: Feeding: Providing the correct amount of their prescribed food at scheduled times, ensuring fresh water is always available. Waste Management: Regularly cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs outside for bathroom breaks, and proper disposal of waste. Exercise: Engaging in appropriate physical activity based on the pet's breed and needs, such as walks, playtime, or interactive toys. Safety Measures: Secure Environment: Checking for potential hazards like open doors, toxic substances, and securing areas that could be dangerous for the pet. Leash Supervision: Always using a leash when walking dogs outdoors in public areas. Medication Administration: Following strict instructions for administering any prescribed medications. Trust Building: Positive Reinforcement: Using positive training techniques and rewards to build a positive relationship. Gentle Handling: Respecting the pet's boundaries and comfort level, avoiding forceful actions. Communication: Maintaining open communication with the client regarding any concerns or changes in the pet's behavior.

About: What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies and young dogs who need extra patience and consistency to senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, extra bathroom breaks, or additional attention. I’m also happy working with shy, anxious, or nervous pets and always let them warm up to me at their own pace. I believe the little things make a big difference—keeping pets on their normal routine, providing plenty of play and affection, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Most importantly, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal. I take that responsibility seriously and strive to give every pet the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m dependable, flexible, and able to provide consistent walks, playtime, attention, and loving care throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while following each pet’s routine. I give plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, while respecting their individual needs.
