About: I've taken care of all types of dogs since I was 13 years old. My household has always included two dogs. From childhood I have fed, trained, walked, groomed and loved every animal I've been lucky enough to have. From the beginning puppy stages through the extra care they've needed as seniors. I'm currently looking to make this my main priority for the summer. This means I will be available to provide all the love and attention your fur babies require. I understand how important animals are to a family. With that in mind I will care for them as if they were my own. Staying on top of their needs and following all directions.

About: Welcome to my page! My passion is spreading the love, and we do that by being loving animal owners ourselves. I have been a caregiver for 25 years and have experience with animals small to large, hedgehog to horse. We love them all! My home is a Safe Haven for all or we come by your house where animals feel most at home. We enjoy caring for a variety of animals and sharing toys, walks, and of course belly rubs. It really gives us a happy boost so we seek it out often. Our home is an isolated farm house with plenty of roaming room, no electric fences or shock collars here. Just one on one attention. We are a house of many cards, actually animals. We have two dogs, 4 fish, 60 birds including chickens, Guinea fowl, and ducks. We’ve been blessed with the opportunity to help rescue and release some back yard birds like doves and finches. We really do have a niche for this! I'm currently a stay at home mom of kids and animals. During the day I’m available to come by and say hi, or you can drop off and pick up around your work schedule. We live in an isolated area in the country(only 3 neighbors within a mile). No fence but we do have a lead if needed and we are always outside with our puppy playing and running. Animals are allowed to sleep on the floors or in my bed. We do have crates when necessary and we only give pure freeze dried liver as treats.

About: I have had pets in the house since I was a kid. Dogs, cats, hermit crabs, rats. I’m punctual and able to adhere to your rules/guidelines concerning your pet. I’m currently retired enjoying my time at home. Will work part time in the fall. We have 2 responsible adults and a teenager in our home that can take care of any needs or playtime your pet may need. I have a fenced yard and one high energy doggie that eats twice a day. Potty breaks are always available. I have 2 gentle, loving cats that enjoy being around other people and dogs.

About: Hi there, my name is Kolton! I’ve had pets my entire life and always help watch friends’ and families’ pets when I get the chance. I have experience with all ages and sizes of dogs. Our pup, Scotty, was rescued as well, with little training, so teaching him tricks is always a fun time! I have a very flexible daily schedule with the ability to work from home. This would allow me to work with your pet’s schedule and give them all of the care they are used to. Safety is very important to me when it comes to my pets. I always make sure there is nothing in reach or on the ground that would endanger them (especially for the curious puppies). At my home this means closing certain doors and keeping all food off the counters. At your home I would be sure to keep all guidelines your dogs need to ensure their safety.

About: I’m currently the mom of a male Yorkie. I have had dogs for 17 years, from puppies to seniors. I am familiar with all of the stages they go through as they grow. I work full time Monday through Thursday but can be available for walks or visits during my lunch break and after work. It would all depend on the requirements. I will do whatever is requested or required within reason! Also willing to get the mail, water plants, set garbage out - whatever is needed.

She is someone who pays attention to the actions of her pet so recognizes when there may be concerns. She is respectful of the health of her animals and has them at the vet regularly for checkups and doesn't feed them inappropriate people food that can cause health issues. Sadie, her border collie, is nearing her 16th year and while slowing down of course, is still a gentle friendly, and healthy dog as a result of Jana's care over the years. I know she is excited about the opportunity to share her love for dogs by helping others when they need a sitter. I highly recommend Jana for this opportunity.”
