About: I’ve had and taken care of cats and other animals since a very young age, my friends and family come to me to check on, feed and play with their pets. I currently work mornings 7am to 4pm, I’m home the rest of the time when im not at work. There is also another person in the home to help out during those hours! I have a fenced in yard and other dogs in the house to keep your pets company, I can easily cage or separate your pets if needed.
About: Most sitters just “watch” dogs, I actually work with them. I pay attention to behavior, energy levels, and routines so your dog stays comfortable, not stressed. I keep structure, stay active with them, and communicate clearly so you always know how things are going. Your dog isn’t just being supervised, they’re being cared for the right way. Because I’m a subcontractor, my schedule isn’t fixed, which works in your favor. I usually have consistent openings in the mornings and a lot of availability in the afternoons. This allows me to be flexible with walks, drop ins, and extended care. I plan ahead to make sure every dog gets proper time and attention. I treat every dog like they’re my own. That means keeping their routine consistent, making sure they get enough exercise, and giving them real attention, not just checking in. I pay close attention to behavior, mood, and energy so they stay comfortable and stress-free. You’ll also get updates so you always know your dog is in good hands.
About: I can watch animals of all sizes, chickens, goat dogs, cats, dogs, I own a few types over the years and can possibly learn a new pet, if needed to watch ❤️❤️🐰 I’m currently at home during the day, I’m usually scheduled 1-2 nights a week and will have my daughter helping with the responsibilities for caring for your animals, walking, reading them books and loving on them! I can care for your baby at my home, or yours. Sometimes they’re more comfortable in their home, safety comes first. I will be taking your dog, for walks, car rides, and down to the lake to see my world.
About: I have had pets for all of my life and have gained a wealth of experience along the way. For several years I worked at a pet boarding and grooming facility where I obtained the knowledge of light grooming, and administering medications such as insulin. During my time working at this facility I also learned how to handle pets that may be aggressive wether it was caused by food, toys, or anxiety. I currently have four dogs and two cats who I love dearly. I have also had the joy of taking care of many animals all the way from puppy/kitten hood all the way to the rainbow bridge. I know how hard it can be to find someone you can trust to care for your fuzzy family member, but I hope you can find that with me. If you have any questions please ask me and I will be happy to answer I am currently working as a shipping manager for a small factory but I would like to make caring for pets my full time job. I have an invisible fence with one and a half acres of area to roam. I have pet stairs leading to those hard to reach areas (like the couch or bed) for small or senior pets. I also have a cart to pull behind my bike if there are any pets that aren't so active but like fresh air. My cats enjoy the luxury of having their own bedroom so they can have peace from the dogs when needed. And of course I have a plethora of toys and treats. I am willing to make accommodations for special needs pets.
About: I’ve have experience with puppies and senior dogs for 10+ years. In addition to dogs, I’ve lived on a farm for 10 years. Animal care is my number one priority. I always have free time in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings to check in and play with your dog. I can also make time to stop by more often if need be. With having my own pets, I understand what it takes to provide proper care on a daily and weekly basis. I will take care of your dog as if it were my own.
