Pet Sitting in Dunkirk

About: I grew up taking care of pets and showed my poodle in 4H giving me hands-on training experience. I love dog walking for extended time, and sitting your fur baby’s overnight! I currently work for the post office as a real carrier and my schedule is varying every week, mostly part-time so I can be accessible for afternoon, evenings and overnight I’m happy to drive the distance to your home to provide walking or outside play with your pet. Potty breaks while you’re away at work or overnight sitting while you’re on vacation is my thing too!

“Perfect person to take care of my special water pup! Thank you Jasmine Bruce looks very happy!!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet caregiver is my hands-on experience with training and caring for my own dogs. As a proud owner of a Pitbull and a Great Dane, I understand the unique needs of different breeds and how to create a comfortable, safe, and stimulating environment for them. My passion for animals goes beyond just feeding and walking – I’m dedicated to ensuring your pet feels loved and cared for while you’re away, and I have the skills to provide extra support for pets who might need it. Whether it’s basic obedience or more specialized attention, I bring a personalized approach that makes sure your pet is treated like family. As a student, I’ve structured my schedule to allow flexibility when it comes to pet care. I can easily accommodate pet boarding any day of the week, or stay at your home to ensure your pet receives the attention and companionship they need while you’re away. I understand how important it is to have a reliable and caring person looking after your pet, so I make sure to prioritize their needs while balancing my studies. Whether it’s a few hours or several days, I’m here to offer consistent, loving care when it’s needed most. I provide loving, hands-on care for pets both in my own home and in yours. As someone who truly loves spending time with dogs, I make sure they feel right at home by playing with them, cuddling, and offering lots of affection. I’m happy to give them a bath if needed and take them out regularly for potty breaks, making sure they stay comfortable and well-cared for. Whether it’s keeping them entertained or providing some quiet time, I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs, ensuring they feel safe and loved while you’re away.

About: I started pet sitting in 2022 for a family friend and continue to do so for them. I have watched other cats and dogs for family friends. After these instances, I realized how much I enjoyed pet sitting! The people that I work with are very kind and make it so easy on me. I have gathered a few new clients since I started promoting my pet sitting but I still have so much to learn! I try to send many pictures and updates throughout the day and will respond quickly to any questions you may have for me. Hopefully one day I can make this a full time commitment, but for now, I am here to provide care for your dogs whenever I am available. I am a recent college graduate still searching for a job but I have pretty open availability for now. For long periods, the services that I provide are pet sitting and house sitting in one. Staying at your house makes your pets feel more comfortable with me and also gives me the ability to keep your house clean. I will always leave your home looking just the way it did when you left! I can also do drop in visits as well, but I do not bring pets to my house.

“I appreciated Valerie’s services checking in and feeding my cat for a few days. I found her to be very pleasant to work with and would definitely reach out again in the future!”

I have experience as a vet assistant in a private clinic setting and I worked as a dog-specialist at an animal shelter. I’m particularly skilled with temperamental or “hard to manage” dogs, and neonatal (bottle baby) kittens. I am now a fully licensed tattoo artist, but I am still drawn to my passion for animal care! I work full-time as a tattoo artist in Indianapolis. My availability is limited but perfect for twice daily drop ins and walks! Early mornings and evenings with weekend availability. My felines are treated like my very own children. 2 of which I fostered from nearly days old! I do my best to provide care, support, and enrichment to beloved pets.

I graduated high school in 2024 and during high school I volunteered many hours at the Clinton County Humane Society. In June of 2024 I started pet sitting for local families. Since then I have helped take care of many families furry friends including common house pets such as Dogs, Cats, and even Kinkajous! I am currently trying to branch out and make pet care my main job. Which means my availability is usually always open! Don’t be scared to reach out and ask! BOARDING IN MY HOME: I live with my parents out in the country with two dogs in my home and one cat. I have several rooms, gates, and crates that can be used so my pets never come in contact with yours if that is preferred! There are 9 acres of total land for plenty of exercise, 2 of those acres are fenced off and occupied by two friendly dairy goats and chickens! While you go on vacation so will your furry friend/s !

About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I was about 9 years old! I had a hamster growing up and we had two family dogs growing up. I have experience taking care of other people's animals as well as taking care of family pets such as my sister's dog (beagle mix) and my parent's dogs (two Chesapeake bay retrievers and a rescue hound). I also have experience taking care of cats for family & friends! I also have experience helping take care of newborn puppies, as my stepdad breeds Chesapeake Bay Retrievers.

“Jacqui did great with our cat, Flower. We were gone for a week and Flower seemed very at ease when we came home. Jacqui went above & beyond making sure our porch light was on/off when necessary & bringing in our mail. She was on time for every visit & sent photos/updates through out the week. She also responded to texts very fast which was relieving because our service was choppy. We will definitely be requesting her services again in the future!”

About: I've had animals since I was 4. Been caring for other people's animals almost as long. I would walk my neighbor's dogs any time they would allow it. I also have a background in veterinary care and am used to administering medications as well as injections to dogs and cats. I have 3 cats and a dog, so I have my small menagerie that I take care of daily. But that won't stop me from taking care of your critters too! I have a partner at home that will take care of my own animals if I need to stay over to care for beloved furry family members. So no need to worry if your fluffy friends need round-the-clock care, I can do it! I have a large yard with lots of space for my dog to run, he knows not to go to the front of the house and stays close to me when we're outside and there are lots of parks nearby to go on walks. We have lots of high places for our cats to climb and perch.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every breed for about 15 years. My family runs a pet sitting business as well as fostering dogs. I grew up with all kinds of animals my whole life which made me into the animal lover I am today. I’ve been relied on to walk, feed, bathe, and play with the animals all my life. No breed is too much for me! I recently moved to the area, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur baby and spend plenty of time with them while I’m finding a job that best suits me! I have a pup of my own and he has lots of energy and will keep your fur baby busy! I live in a house with a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for your pup to run around!

“Abigail did such a great job with our dogs and was super communicative the whole way!”
