About: I have had a dog in my family since I was a toddler. In my life, my family has had one Golden Retriever, and 6 Pomeranians. We rescued 3 of these pups! And all at one time, we had 4 Pomeranians - making me have to really help out with training and dog care. My family has always been passionate about animals, specifically dogs. We emphasize the importance of taking care of a pet as if it’s a family member. I grew up helping take care of them: Training, walks, runs, bike rides, meals, hiking, car rides, cuddles, brushing, baths, vet appointments. Additionally, I always ensure my rescue dogs feel comfortable in their new home. Naturally, all dogs are easily comfortable with me. I always drive hours home just to spend time with my fur babies with my parents. Once I learned about this app, I instantly downloaded it. I’m so excited to spend my free time doing something that makes me happy! I currently work full-time in lansing from 8:30am-5pm M-F. I love animals and have extra time so I would like to make additional income! I am available after work or on weekends as long as I get enough notice. I will be sure to spend time with the pet when I’m taking care of it. I will go on walks, go outside, and play with the pet. My apartment complex has a a lot of trails to walk pets. I will do whatever the pet owner asks from me and ensure the pet has my attention while I’m with them.
About: My pet care career goes back 20 years to when I started dog-sitting for Stella, the black lab across the street. Since then, my clientele has grown to encompass many friends and family members who trust me with their animals. I pride myself on adapting to the needs of clients and their pets, adjusting my approach to give custom care to your beloved creatures. I have time to care for pets throughout the day and overnight. Because I have a job with a flexible schedule, I can adapt my routine to suit your needs. Your pet's safety is my #1 priority, and I want to do everything I can to ensure you feel good trusting me with their care. I let animals approach me first and get comfortable before I go in for snuggles, kisses, or pets. I also pay close attention to the body language of your pet and other animals in the environment, avoiding any potentially unsafe interactions or situations. I actively supervise pets in my care, staying alert to any signs of danger or illness. As a pet owner, I am familiar with using the emergency clinic at MSU and the Greater Lansing emergency vet in Williamston and can get your animal there quickly if needed. Lastly, I understand the anxiety of leaving your pet in the care of another person, so I respond promptly when you contact me with questions or concerns.
About: I am available for dog walking or drop in visits over Labor day weekend. I took care of my childhood animals since I was 10. As a teenager a would walk the neighbors dogs and care for their cats and dogs while they went on vacation. As an adult I have had many dogs and cats and a hermit crab called Spidey.
