About: Hello! My name is Jenny and I am a huge dog lover! I grew up with many different breeds of dogs. I treat them like I do my daughter, they are family after all! I absolutely love being outside and enjoying nature. Walking outdoors is one of my favorite activities and I am happy to get your pup(s) some exercise as well! I've had dogs all throughout my life, but just recently lost my beagle. She had cancer and after 13 years with her, we had to make the really tough decision to let her go. Currently, we do not have any pets in our home, so we would be more than happy to get a chance to love on your pup while you're away! Right now, my schedule is flexible. My daughter is in school and I am generally home for a good portion of the day. Your pup will generally have someone with them the majority of the day. I am happy to come to your home to walk your dog, feed them, let them out, whatever needs done! I am happy to keep your pup in my home as well! I am flexible so please let me know if there is something else you'd like.

About: I got my first dog when I was 10, I walk, bathed, trained, and played with him. Currently I have a 5 year old Lab, and 1 cat! I am currently working full time, so the evenings and weekends work for me. I looking forward to walking some cute dogs in my few time. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly Labrador retriever, Max, who loves other animals. I love going on long walks, teaching Max new tricks, and lots of physical play.

About: I’ve worked with animals almost my whole life. Whether it’s been a horse or a hamster I have taken on the challenge. Dogs and cats have always been my favorite and most frequent. I’m currently taking the summer off of school and work. Taking care of your dog or cat will fit perfectly into my new routine with my flexibility. In your home and on walks I will keep a close eye on your dogs. Making sure they are completely safe and all their of there needs are cared for.

“Lena is excellent! She is very attentive and responsive, and was great with my foster who has some behavioral concerns.”

About: My commitment to caring for animals is my biggest strength. There is nothing more enjoyable than coming home and seeing unconditional love from a pet. I'm recently retired from 30 years of naval service therefore I am looking for new opportunities while going back to school. I have a very flexible schedule as needed. I have a large fenced yard in the country my great pyrenees loves playing with other dogs he is very social. Plenty of room to roam.

About: I've had animals since I was 4. Been caring for other people's animals almost as long. I would walk my neighbor's dogs any time they would allow it. I also have a background in veterinary care and am used to administering medications as well as injections to dogs and cats. I have 3 cats and a dog, so I have my small menagerie that I take care of daily. But that won't stop me from taking care of your critters too! I have a partner at home that will take care of my own animals if I need to stay over to care for beloved furry family members. So no need to worry if your fluffy friends need round-the-clock care, I can do it! I have a large yard with lots of space for my dog to run, he knows not to go to the front of the house and stays close to me when we're outside and there are lots of parks nearby to go on walks. We have lots of high places for our cats to climb and perch.

About: I have taken care of cats for the last five years for friends and family! I love spending quality time with them and have experience with a variety of different needs. I am currently in the middle of the job search and have a lot of flexibility. I will be able to stay overnight with your pets! I am attentive to the needs of the animals that I care for and I am sure to keep the environment clean. This includes regularly scooping litter boxes and sticking to a consistent feeding schedule when needed.

About: I have pet sit for many years. I love meeting new animals. I enjoy pet sitting because as a social worker I am able to come home to an animal and sent time with them. Animals are the way I cope. I have plenty of time to play with animals in the evenings and weekends. My schedule is very open for this and I am excited to have this opportunity I will ensure to keep everything the way I found it or even better. I know animals do best in their own environment so I have no problem being in other peoples homes. I show respect.

About: I actually started watching dogs and cats for families I was babysitting and nannying for while they were out of town about four years ago. About 90% of my experience is with extended dog sitting in the owners home. While watching the dogs I not only let them out to potty but also walk them, play with them, and clean up any messes whether chewed or accidents that may occur! I have some owners who like me to stay overnight and others who do not and I am completely okay with either way. I am also comfortable administering medicine or changing bandages. I am always up for taking your dog places too, a dog park or for a bath or simple for a drive! I’m comfortable with cats, dogs, and a plethora of other animals. I can care for any of your loving animals! I hope to get to know you and your fur babies in the future! I currently am a stay at home mom. I have one school age child and a toddler. I am looking for bookings to be able to stay at home with my girls (and my two pups of course). School drop off/pick up is for a short time in the morning and in the late afternoon. Any walks or drop-ins would be scheduled around school drop off and pick up times! I care for pets as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This can look like feeding on schedule, giving fresh water, administering medications if needed. Each visit includes some play and cuddles too so they feel just as loved as when you are there!

About: I’ve had dogs and other pets for as long as I can remember. When I was about 10, I became obsessed with reading about different dog breeds and their needs. My first job actually working with pets was a dog daycare. I loved building connections with the pups and their parents. At this job, I learned defensive handling skills (how to avoid or break up fights or attacks) and how to handle reactive, scared, and stubborn dogs. I work shorter hours on weekends so I’m able to make plenty of time for your baby, plus my wife is always home and will occasionally help care for your pet when I’m not around. I like to have group play or just time outside when it’s cool in the mornings and evenings. I have a fenced backyard that I check for holes daily and an open front yard (leashes at all times out front). I’m able to crate your dog at anytime they might need it and can even have them in a separate room if crates aren’t their thing. Another bonus is that my wife is home just about full time and is able to care for your pet when I’m not around. If I’m at your house, I will take your dog outside on a leash the first few times just to see how they are and to make sure they aren’t an escape artist once mom/dad is gone

About: I have a cat that I have been raising since June of last year since he was a little kitten. I love and cherish him and have learned a lot of patience over the past year while raising him. I also have a love for dogs and I have a little experience with them as well. I am a self-employed delivery driver, so I have a lot of free time, and I am flexible but right now I am only able to accept morning care for pets. I stick to routine and consistency when it comes to pets because that is what works best in most situations. If the pet has no structure in its life and its environment is full of chaos, then that leaves room for pet aggression and may cause the pet to be out of control. I also making sure to give them plenty of play time can reduce a lot of misbehavior and disobedience.

About: I am a graduate from Purdue with my degree in veterinary nursing and am now an Oncology Vet Nurse - making me the perfect caregiver for all fury friends, even the delicate seniors. I am trained in accessing the wellness of animas and am able to identify signs of sickness or distress. I am able to administer oral, ocular, ear, or injectable medications if needed. I have experience in providing care to compromised pets with diseases such as diabetics, cardiac or respiratory disease, orthopedic disease, and more. Prior to veterinary nursing school, I was a boarding and grooming assistant. I took care of 15+ pets that were boarding as well as providing grooming services. I work full time as a veterinary nurse Tuesday through Friday. I am primarily available for walks and sit-ins on the weekends (times vary) and Mondays (all day) I live in an apartment that does not allow pets so I am unable to board pets at my home. However, I will be available to do sit-ins at the clients home.

About: I have taken care of animals and cats and dogs my whole life! I love being here for animals while their owners are busy with life! This is my full full full time job, I can meet to your needs and schedule! This is my whole life and even then some! I am here to be here for your dog or cat. Plenty of exercising and playtime will be more than available or some cuddle time!
