About: I graduated from PIMA Medical Institute with high honors as a Veterinary Assistant. I have hands-on experience working in veterinary clinics, boarding facilities, and animal rescues, caring for pets of all ages and needs. I'm passionate about providing safe, reliable, and loving care while giving pet owners peace of mind when they're away. I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. As a stay-at-home mom, I am home most of the time and able to provide consistent supervision and care for pets. My goal is to provide reliable, dependable care and maintain open communication with pet owners so they always feel confident their pets are being well cared for. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes, allowing pets to remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. During each visit, I ensure pets have fresh water, meals as instructed, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I carefully follow each pet owner's care instructions, including medication schedules, feeding requirements, and any special needs. Safety is my top priority. I always secure doors, gates, and leashes, monitor pets for signs of illness or distress, and provide updates to owners during their time away. I treat every home with respect and strive to create a trustworthy, stress-free experience for both pets and their families.

About: A big range of animals have been in and out of my life since I was a child. I grew up on a ranch to help with majority of the outdoor animals along with indoor beings. For the past 12 years, I have been working with more companion/household animals. I am precise, patient, observant and dependable with thorough communication. I have experience when it comes to giving any necessary medications, basic training (mainly for dogs, a bit for cats), thorough clean up for any sort of animal mess and have broken up some altercations with animals. PS; I adapt and am a fast learner especially, if things are written/typed out for me with thorough instruction. Pet care fits into my daily/weekly routine by providing a flexible schedule and allowing me to handle the type of work I love, working with animals. Working with my kids school schedule and my personal study time can be a handful for precise scheduling which is why I believe working for you by helping your animal(s) would be one of the best opportunities for us all! When it comes to your home and schedule, I take it all very seriously! Any sort of list/instructions you have for me to provide the best care for your animal(s), I will follow through thoroughly. I have two cats and a dog (she thinks she's a cat herself), in a fenced in shared yard with two other units who have animals I help care for as well have trained and taken for walks.

Im available 7 days a week, pickup and dropoff preferred in the evenings/weekends. Im typically home most of the time but if I'm called into work my husband will be home and I’ll always provide updates and photos of your furry friends! The house is cat proof-free of any plastic, harmful plants, or anything toxic or hard to get out of. There is a fish tank that is fully closed for them to be pre occupied along with a bird cage. The house has a wrap around yard with plenty of space

I also live in very close proximity to several paved walking trails, and would love to cater to wooded, unpaved trail environments as well.

About: Animals mean a lot to me and they feel safe and comfortable with me. I take care of cats, dogs horses even rabbits. I love to hike and jog and walk so if that was an option, I can do that with them as well. I send updates of pictures and keep you in the loop of how your animals are doing. I have reference. animals are like a therapy to you when you have a stressful day at work they just brighten up your day. Just buy a simple smile or a wag. I interact with them cuddle with them or a walk. I am off Sat and Sunday . Sometimes it changed. Depends on what’s going on. The rest of the day I go in at two till 11 Ish. If they were in My Home, I would follow instruction that they give me and make sure they are in good hands. And if it’s at their house, I would respect their boundaries only take care of the animals and send pictures and updates.
About: I'm an AKC certified service dog trainer and evaluator and I absolutely love what I do. I've always had a passion for animals, and have had many throughout my childhood and adult years. Working with animals is my full time job, from training basic/advanced obedience and service for both mental and physical disabilities, to dog sitting, walking, or just wanting to get some energy out and socialization in. Whatever you may need, I can almost guarantee I can offer, including knowledge and advice that you can bring with you for a lifetime. I have 2 large dogs and 4 cats of my own, all well behaved, up to date with shots, fixed, and well trained. My roommate is also an AKC trainer and evaluator. I would mostly prefer to stay with your fur babies in their own environment to stay with routine as much as possible, or other arrangements can be discussed. If reactivity of any kind is a concern for you and you'd like to speak with someone about training options, I can refer you to my roommate who specializes in reactive rehabilitation, with many strong and positive client reviews of success with her training. Working with dogs is my only job. I have training and socialization appointments with dogs/clients I already have scheduled weekly visits with. These appointments last from 1-3 hours Wednesday-Saturday. During this time I can schedule time for your fur babies, or if I am dog sitting for you, can stop in between appointments for potty breaks, their lunch feedings, and playtimes. If discuss together, they can also join in with socialization appointments to dog parks or walks. While I won't provide boarding in my own home, that doesn't mean I won't bring your fur babies over for a playdate with mine if consented to with you. I have 2 well behaved large dogs, a fully trained service husky and a service dog in training german shepherd/husky mix. Both are very friendly and absolute sweethearts with new dogs. We work and train with them daily, take many trips to the dog park down the road, and they eat homemade topper fit for kings with all their meals. When I am staying with your fur babies in your home, I send daily updates with pictures about how your babies are doing, follow all instructions to a T, and do my best to leave your lovely home exactly the way I found it. I am known to do some light cleaning (mopping, vacuuming, washing of laundry that I used, etc) before I leave as I don't like leaving messes and like to be mindful of you coming back from a long work trip or vacation that just left you tuckered out. I know the last thing you want to do is clean up after someone lol!
About: I am a dog trainer, I work at a Dog Daycare and Boarding facility, and I have many years of Dog rescue experience. I am certified in Pet CPR, Training, Behaviors, and Walking. I am flexible and self employed. I'll only accept jobs that I will be available for. Please be patient while my schedule is changing, but you're very likely to get accepted! I will find any nearby parks or ways to walk your dog, I will also give your pets all the care they need while I am with them and I will always be watching them carefully. I also am well equipped to deal with senior animals and emergencies that can happen. I will meet with you beforehand if it makes you more comfortable! Then when we establish times I will come by your house and take care of your pet, or stay the night depending on the service. I will make sure they are fed, watered, walked, and let outside.
“Charlize was great with my our dog Canela, she agreed to meet beforehand to get to know her and put us at ease! On the day of the walk, she was punctual and did a great job. Excellent communication throughout the service and great pet sitter:)”
