About: I have cared for many pets since I was very young. I am experienced with even medically needy animals. Animals are my passion. Their love is unconditional and so is mine for them. I work a flexible schedule so I can work most anything work. Long trips, short trips, regular schedule. You name it I’ll make it work. Working in clients home is preferred over using my own home.

17. Brenda V.
About: I have had cats and dogs since I was 6 years old. I have experience taking care of them from the puppy/kitten stage on up to elderly. I am also experienced with giving them pills and trimming cat claws. I have also spent many hours walking dogs that like to pull. I work weekdays 8am-5pm, but I work from home 90% of the time so I can be flexible. I'm home most weekends because I have two pups of my own that I take care of. I have two dogs and a cat of my own. The dogs are pit bull mixes and total love bugs; they just want to be snuggled and baby-talked to. The cat is very sweet and sticks to himself during the day. I have a fenced in back yard and live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood. I have two little girls that love to help with our pets and are very gentle and sweet with them. I'm flexible with needs and willing to adapt to what the individual pup or kitty needs!
18. Genesys T.
About: I’ve had a dogs in my life, since I was a child, and was introduced to cats as I ventured into the collegiate life. As an adult I have cared for dogs primarily, but recently had the opportunity to take care of the sweetest cats! I am fairly patient with pets and like to give them as much space as they like to try to not mess up the routines, but if they are balls of energy and cuddle bugs, I am more than happy to comply! I believe that walks and healthy roaming space is good for a dog’s, development and energy, and respecting a cat to make the first move to ensure respect and comfort to their environment. I am a work from home, travel, business owner, and therefore have a lot of flexibility on my hands to be able to work anywhere! I like doing research on the neighborhoods that I’m going into if it’s a new area, and like to understand what you have available, either a dog park, or a fenced backyard, to really understand how to best care for your dog. My dog is a big ball of energy so I have learned a lot of skills to be able to make sure that they stay in their assigned spaces, I do like to keep them with me on my lap as I work, or nearby letting them enjoy a nap.
19. Emma S.
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 10. I grew up with multiple cats to care for and have been a dog owner for 11 years. I have experience with puppies/kittens, as well as seniors who may have medical needs. I am also capable of handling high energy pets and households with multiples. I do work full-time (M-F) but have a flexible schedule. I have time in the mornings, and after 5 during the weekdays to care for your pets, and times during the day. Most weekends are very open. I know all pet parents have different rules/expectations, so I am open and happy to follow your lead on how you would need things done. I have a senior dog who is used to no crate, taking full advantage of the couches and beds :) and enjoys moderate length walks. I have had him since he was a puppy, so I am able to provide long walks, exercise time outside and crating if need be.
20. Sarah W.
About: I’ve own dogs, cats, horses for years. No job is too big. I used to work in veterinary medicine as a technician. I am comfortable with medications, injections, subcutaneous fluids, etc. I currently work full time at Mercy as a lab technician. I am able to stop morning and evenings around work and then more on weekends! In the client home I am very respectful of spaces and leave it as found. I will follow all rules both for myself and for your pet. Your and your pets trust, safety, and comfortableness is my number priority.
