About: For 10 years I have cared for dogs and cats, I love animals and I can take care of them and love them like you. I can take walks daily, play with them, give oral medications and a lot of love. I can also take care of small pets such as birds, rabbits, hamster etc. For me, the most important thing is that you can enjoy your free time and vacation and that you are completely sure that your pet is in a home where they will take care of it and love how you do it, send photos and videos day by day so that you can see your best friend. My main language is Spanish but I can have conversations with you using the translator if that does not bother you 😉 I have the time, and space necessary to take care of your dog or cat or any pet like you would. I am the most time of the day in my house with my little family My house has a wide, fenced and very sure garden where your dog can go out to play, run and do their needs several times a day
“Victoria did a great job with my pups! One of my dogs is skiddish and doesn't like strangers. Victoria was patient with her and by the end of the week she was going for pets! My senior dog loved her! Thank you Victoria for helping us during this busy week!”
“Madison is so wonderful with our cats! She puts our minds at ease, knowing the girls are in excellent hands. Her daily photos and updates are terrific. This time, we even got a photo of the baby snapping turtle she rescued from our sidewalk! Madison is truly the animal whisperer. We wouldn’t trust our pets (and yard visitors) to anyone else.”
“We used Josie's services for our cat Winnie and our two pugs, Popeye and Bo while we went on a 6 day vacation. She came to our house to check on Winnie 3 days and played with her and kept our two pugs at her own house. We could not be happier with her services, she is kind, friendly and just loves our furbies. Our pugs loved her and her kids and we didn't think we would get them back, lol. We will definitely use her services again! Highly recommend her.”
“Alexis is very reliable and did a great job! All of our pets were happy when we returned home. She was very attentive to our senior cat that has some special care needs. We highly recommend Alexis and would definitely trust her with our home again!”
About: Ever since I was 9, I have taken care of dogs and cats from ranches to homes, and from walks to simple home care visits. I and currently PRN and going to school during the week days, with the PRN my availability may vary but more than likely I am available. My classes are only in the mornings with only one being in the afternoon, which gives me plenty of time with your furry babies. I am a great problem solver and will always work in the best interest of your pet. If I am unsure about anything that can possibly hinder your pet's safety I will always ask you. I want your babies safe and you stress and worry free.
About: I managed a pet store for 7 years. Handling dogs helping a groomer. I checked them in for appointments and checked them out for pick ups. Depends on what is needed. I work part time. I also work around my bookings. I’m very flexible. When I dog sit I make it all about the dog and treat them as if they are children. I prefer your home. I care for them by whatever directions or schedule you prefer if there on a routine or not. I love your dogs as if they were mine.
“Tiffany was AMAZING!!!! She was great with Titan”
“Paige was very sweet and my dogs didn't act like they missed me all that much! Would definitely recommend - she is thorough and I will ask for her services again in the future. Thanks!”
“Heather was very sweet and responsive. Lola went up to her right away and seemed to like her. Only reason I didn't give her a full 5 stars was that she did forget to refill Lola's water bowls the first time she went over, but it was her first time watching Lola and she did go right back over when I made her aware. The second day she went over, she did everything perfectly.”
“Kristin treated our cats like they were her own! She was super punctual, sent us updates at every visit and was a top notch communicator. She even offered to stop in again should our flight have been delayed. She’s the best and we would trust her to come back again and again!”
About: I’m a dedicated animal lover who volunteers at a local shelter, so I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and pets that need a little extra patience or care. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. I work mornings and have afternoons free, which I usually spend taking my dog out to explore or volunteering at the local animal shelter. I’d love to use that time to help other pet owners who have tighter schedules feel at ease, knowing their dogs or cats are getting attention, playtime, and lots of love while they’re away. When visiting pets in their home, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I always follow any routines or instructions provided and take the time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious pets. During walks, I prioritize safety using secure leashes, avoiding risky areas, and giving them the exercise and attention they need while staying alert and respectful of their pace and preferences.
“Our dogs are always so well taken care of with Brenay. We have been repeat customers for about a year now and will continue to book with her!”
About: Hi there!! I love both dogs and cats, and look forward to taking care of them. I've had many pets growing up. Habló Español también. As of right now I am available and flexible on time as school is out. I have been trying to find a second job, and would much rather prefer this to be my 2nd job as I enjoy going on runs with my dog and hanging out with my furbabies (I also have 2 cats). Why not make money while having fun and meeting new furbabies? I live near downtown Elkhart (heading towards Bristol). I live in a very safe and quiet neighborhood where there is plenty of space to walk, run, and enjoy a large field of grass (if allowed to be off leash).
“Mariah was awesome!!”
“McKenna is my go to cat sitter. She charms even my reluctant kittens to come out and spend time with her. And my 9 year old Woody can’t get enough of her! I can’t say enough about her skills, compassion, and reliability.”
About: I love pet! and I have been spending my life with them since I was young. I have dogs as my pet now and I used to pet cats before, so I don't mind taking care of cats :) I've been with puppies, aging dogs, and disabled dogs. I like teaching some tricks for them! My dogs know how to roll, wait, speak, lay down, and give a hand :D I love to see them well-groomed! so If you want me to make them smell good, I would love to take a bath for them. If your dogs are energetic, I don't mind taking them to do activities, such as running. If your dogs stay overnight with me, I would use them as my bear lol
“Micaela is amazing!! She took the best care of my babies and spent tons more time with them than she had to. Highly recommend booking with Micaela!!!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a child. I am new to the area and would love to have some canine warmth in my life. Currently missing my dogs who live with my parents. One is a pure bred border terrier, Sadie, and the other is a mutt from the pound, Charlie. I moved to the area for graduate school. I have classes throughout the week and would be able to care for pets before and after classes. I have another part-time gig as a soccer trainer, which doesn't take up more than 2-3 hours a day. I live in an apartment with a dog park. There are also trails around my complex. I do not have anything like crates or cages in my unit for dogs.
About: I've been in the animal field for 25 years and in the veterinary specific field for almost 20. I have a special interest in senior or special needs kitties and can easily administer medications and subcutaneous fluids. I'm patient and flexible and work well with owners to provide specific care needs for your critter companions and family members. I work full time currently at a veterinary clinic but am available early mornings, evenings, and afternoons when not scheduled. Available most weekends and holidays as well. I am patient and understanding of all varieties of animals, but have a special bond with feline companions. I work well with even the spiciest or scared kitties to make them comfortable and safe while in my care.
