About: Animal Science major who has been apart of a household with pets most of my life. I have experience with dogs of all ages, shapes and sizes along with enrichment training, fostering, pet sitting, walking and more. I've dealt with emergency scenarios with my own pets and will care for yours as if it was my own. I love all the pets and am always excited to meet more! I am currently only working under contracts and my schedule is currently very open. I am used to walking and caring for pets. Caring for pets fits in right along with my regular routine! I have a lard fenced in yard along with two friendly dogs. One is 7 year old male who is lazy and loves everyone, the other is a 1 year old border collie mix who's loves to play! Capable of keeping them separate when necessary or unsupervised. Very customizable to your pets wants and needs! I will put your pets first and make sure they have the best experience possible.
“I cannot say enough great things about Juni’s care of my sweet Karma girl! The updates were nice to see while on a vacation Karma couldn’t attend. It was nice to know she was getting special attention and love from someone genuine and caring! 10/10 would use Juni to sit my girl again! She was glowing when I got home from the beach as much as I was which is so much better than when I use to pick her up from boarders! Being able to let Karma stay home and having someone trustworthy and timely take care of her was such a stress relief! Again so thankful for Juni and her service!”
About: I know the struggle is real when trying to find someone to watch your fur baby. Although, we haven't met in person, I hope to gain a bit of your trust for caring for your pet(s) with this short paragraph. Growing up, my family always had a "family" dog so since I was a young girl I have always enjoyed taking care of our pets. Now that I am an adult, I have made the choice to become a vegan because I believe all animals are worth fighting for. I spend most of my free time volunteering at a local animal shelter. My husband and I have four dogs; all of which we adopted from a local shelter. Our families and friends tease us about how much we "spoil" and "pamper" our dogs, but to us, these furry creatures, are family. With all this said, I would be honored to help take care of your furry creatures by walking them when your schedule is pressed for time, going to your home to check in while you’re away, and all together showing them the love I believe all animals deserve. While deciding on my future career, I have a bit of time on my hands. I am currently available Monday through Friday to walk and play with your fur babies. I am also available for day or night check-ins at your home. Although, I can’t stay overnight with your pet(s), I am more than happy to go to your home several times throughout the day and spend time with your furry family while you are away. I will meet your pet’s needs in whatever environment you and your pet feel most comfortable! Does your pet need company for a few hours, a quick potty break, or a long walk? I am happy to help!
About: I have taken care for pets since I was 16. Usually for friends and family. I feel ready to expand and care for others’ pets. I grew up around dogs and cats and have always known that I love them. I’m entering my senior year of college for education. I run track for semo, leaving me with lots of time to care for your pets. I don’t have a fenced yard but I live on a very safe street where many walks can be provided. I also can easily crate your pet if needed. I don’t mind to travel to a park to get some running in .
“Rachel is great-she has always been available and takes really good care of my fur baby who needs a little extra care with meds and such. She's also prompt at responding to questions. I really appreciate her!”
About: Me and my family have owned dogs, cats, horses, poultry, rabbits and fish since I was young! I have been relied on by my family to help care for all of these animals since I was able to! I now own a dog and have multiple cats myself and have been pet sitting since 2018! I love getting the chance to meet new pets and pet parents and helping them feel comfortable while they are away! I do work a full time job so I’m only taking drop in visit bookings currently. I will always treat your fur babies as my own and make time for them around my schedule! I treat every fur baby as if they were my own and I always grow so attached to the pets I meet. I have no problem just hanging out with them if that’s what they like to do or spending the day playing! I also am comfortable with giving any medications, just not injections, they may need!
About: I provide individual attention to each dog, along with a loving and fun environment. I recognize that each dog has its own temperament and idiosyncrasies and try to respond appropriately. While in grad school, I house sat for my cousin's dogs (two Yorkies) on a weekly basis. I also sat for several professors' dogs (and cats) for various lengths of time. My time was limited while I was in school. However, I am now retired. My time is my own, and I can give your precious pet my full time and attention. I live in a three-bedroom house and just had a new vinyl fence installed. I am also having a deck put in so, weather permitting, I can spend quality time outdoors with your dog.
About: I grew up with a houseful of dogs and I’ve had my own since I was 14. I am a remote employee with a house and a fenced in backyard that would love to take care of your fur baby for you! I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family for over 10 years and have experience with giving meds, senior care, potty training, and puppies! I am a remote employee so I’ll be home all day with your pet! I have a large finished basement and a large fenced in backyard so your pet will have plenty of room to roam, play, and rest while in my care. I have cameras in all areas so I can check on them if I have to step away! I have a fenced In yard and a large home. I have a 1 year old spayed Husky named Luna that gets along well with everyone! She loves to play and make new friends. I work from home so your pet would not be left alone for an extended time during their stay!
About: I’ve taken care of multiple types of pets. Dogs and Cats included. My family has always counted on me to walk their dogs and feed their animals when they’re too busy and or away from home. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom so I have all the time in the world to walk your fur babies and play with them. I have my dog on a schedule but she has more than enough toys and chews to pick from. She enjoys the fact that she is overly spoiled. She’s leash trained. (Kinda)
“Gracie was a God send for us this past weekend. Within minutes, she confirmed the booking, asked good questions, was on time, courteous and an overall pleasure to have watch our Dodger dog. We recommend her.”
“Eve has been great with our dog! She is punctual, communicative, and seems to genuinely enjoy hanging out with our pup. Our pup is very lucky to have such a great doggy friend come visit him!”
About: I’d describe myself as a professional dog walker as I have two of my own, as well as grown up taking care of dogs in all age/size ranges! I’d love to meet up with the pups and help them get some good exercise. I’m currently working part-time and have been looking for good ways to get active. My love for dogs is keeping me in shape! I have lots of free time to put towards helping other dog owners in need. My dogs are taken on walks or to the dog park at least once a day! They are also great with other dogs if doggy play dates are something your dog would enjoy! Or not, for the older more calm dogs who just need to get their steps in!
