Cat Sitting in East Bernstadt

About: My journey as a dedicated dog caregiver began early in my life, and it took a heart-touching turn when I found myself nurturing eleven newborn puppies, following a tragic event that took their mother. I remember vividly the mix of apprehension and determination as I sat on my bedroom floor, syringe-feeding each tiny pup. That first five-hour marathon of feedings marked the start of an unforgettable bond that grew stronger with every round of care. Each puppy, now happily in their forever homes, holds a special place in my heart. This experience not only honed my pet care skills but also deepened my understanding of the unique needs of young animals. With patience, love, and a commitment to continuous improvement, I offer a caring environment where your pet can thrive, feeling as cherished and attended to as those eleven puppies did. My job is seasonal, the busiest is in the summer. During the peak months of July/August my schedule varies, therefore I will regularly keep my calendar updated to reflect my availability. In the fall and winter seasons I am usually available anytime. I will care for your pet as requested per client's preferences. No one knows your pet like you do and I will stick strictly to that care and schedule.

About: I have had dogs my entire life, so I really understand their social cues (ie. if they're nervous, scared, or on alert), and I am able to easily remove them from uncomfortable situations. I could spend all day every day with dogs. If your dog is with me, you can rest assured that I will love them and treat them as if they were my own. Of course you are your dog's best friend, but I will be their other one. They won't just go on a walk with me; they will receive love, attention, those oh-so-adored behind-the-ear scratches, and probably some kisses, too. There has never been a dog I don't love, and I have never met a dog that doesn't love me back. I am currently transitioning out of my fully remote job to be a full time pet care provider. Animals are my passion and to work with them full time is my dream. I believe pets are most comfortable in their own home, so when possible, I am more than happy to go to your home. If a pet needs to come to my house, I have two cats, so I would keep them separated from them as much as possible. I have a fenced in yard on one acre, so plenty of space for them to run around and play. I believe that our pets are our babies and I allow animals on my furniture and in my bed. I do have a large crate, though, if you prefer a dog to sleep in a crate at night. It is my goal to make every animal feel safe and loved and I promise that your pet will be treated like family

“Thank you to Emily for taking care of my sweet girl and administering her twice a day insulin shots. Emily was amazingly patient with Puddin until she became comfortable to allow her to provide the shots. I am very appreciative for her help while I was away and will be using Emily again for my trip next month! :)”

“Kinna was the absolute best person to care for my boy! I had absolute trust in her coming into my home and caring for my animals. I came home to happy and content animals. I wouldn't trust anyone else to stay with them.”

About: I have experience working at a doggy daycare and boarding. There I have learned how to bathe, nail trim, read body language, and deeply care about these furry friends. I worked with all kinds of dogs, ranging in size/breed and age. I also have owned dogs my whole life, as have my friends, which I pet sit for frequently. I can pills dogs and disperse ear medication. My availability is fairly open. I can be more specific with the pet parents as we connect, in order to find something that works great for both of us. I do not offer services within my home, as I live in an apartment downtown. However I will follow any instructions given diligently. I have experience in reading dog's body language, which will give me insight into what I need to do and how to keep the pup safe.

About: I have experience with puppy training basics, including house training reinforcement, crate training, leash manners, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m patient, calm, and positive, which helps young dogs learn while feeling safe and confident. For senior pets, I provide attentive, compassionate care, including administering medications, assisting with mobility, sticking to specialized diets, and monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. I understand that older pets need extra patience and gentle handling, and I make their comfort a top priority. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own—providing reliable, loving, and trustworthy care while keeping owners updated and worry-free. I am currently staying at home due to a lapse in full time work! Taking care of my pets is naturally in my daily routine as well as working on commission based art work. When it comes to taking care of pets in home, I am able to safely separate them from my other pets if need be. All of my pets are vaccinated! I do not have a fenced in yard, however I do have a gated porch! If your pups need walked they will be safely walked on a leash or they can be placed in my outside kennel if requested by you! :) pets are allowed on furniture!

About: I have taken care of my own current dog, Mack, since I was 12. I've had several other family dogs in the past that I have helped raise and train as well, I've taken care of other people's animals before, and I have always truly loved all animals. ❤️ I love to walk dogs, or cats! I can also bathe, feed, and make sure your pet has the best care. I am currently available to take care of your pet when I do have my days off, I will start substitute teaching soon so this could potentially affect my daytime availability. I have worked part-time at Petsense and I currently work at Tractor Supply, but I will work around my schedule at any point to try and help you with your fur babies! Personally, I treat my dog like he is my baby because he's part of my family. I love him very much and love to sit and play with him, give him snuggles, and take him with me on walks because I simply love being in the presence of animals. They make me so happy, and I do what I can to make sure your animals are happy and taken care of too. They deserve it!
