Ill definitely be reaching out for further services.”

About: I had dogs growing up and cats since 2007. We added our rescue dog in 2020 at my sons' and my request. I've pet sat for friends and family when they have taken trips. I currently have open availability and looking to possibly make this my employment. I am available to host or to visit your residence for your pet care needs. I have a fenced home with a huge, clean backyard and a friendly mixed German shepherd that loves companionship. Our family absolutely loves animals and will welcome your fur baby for a visit.
About: I have taken care of people's pets while they have been away over the years. I have worked with all kinds of dogs, ranging in different sizes and personalities! I'm currently volunteering part-time, so I am completely available on the weekends and Monday and Friday! I am also flexible other weekdays after 3 pm I do have a dog of my own who I care for at my home, however, I will not be offering pet care at my home.
“Our situation is a bit challenging. Meredith was patient and kind. I felt very comfortable with her and clearly my cats did as well. So happy to have found her!”
About: I have had pets of my own since I was 13! In college, I became a professional dog trainer for PetSmart and puppy raiser for The Seeing Eye puppy raising program. Not only have I cared for a household of my own four pets, but have pet and house sat for many of my family, friends, and coworkers! My hybrid schedule at work gives me the flexibility to care for pets on lunch breaks and weeknights after 5pm as well as unlimited time to spend with your fur babies on the weekends! At home, I have two friendly large dogs, as well as a fenced in yard for plenty of exercise. Constant supervision is the most important thing to me when caring for your fur babies!
“Rachel was very punctual, caring and did the extra step. I would happily recommend her!”
About: My family has two huskies. They have been in the home since a young age and they are currently both seniors. I helped foster a dog in the recent past as well. I mother a sweet senior cat and she has been with me 18 years. She is disabled with health complications and I strive to keep her joyful and as well as the circumstances permit. I have another cat and I have been trusted to do sitting within the family. Cats are very familiar to me. From my very first experience I have never not had at least two cats. I have some foundational experience with other species such as bunnies ferrets and turtles fish. It is an honor for me to be of service to animals. They can be so giving in the best of ways. I strive to protect them and caring for them feels like a primitive part of myself. You can count on me to monitor for environmental safety and to ensure their comfort. I am looking for part time service only and I am open to discussing my openness with each case. I look forward to connecting with the owners and pets The way I view caring for pets can be both universal and unique. I take an interest in knowing what they individually need and I appreciate that getting to know them will help develop better insights. Sometimes the answer is near sighted. Kind of like asking a kid what he wants to eat and seeing his or her face light up when they hear mac and cheese.
