About: I have been fostering & training animals for rescues and shelters since 2009. I enjoy fostering because it helps more animals in the long run, I am great with animals that are unruly & have vet technician experience, so you can be sure your animal is in great hands when at my home or in my care, I love cats, dogs & caged animals & will go above and beyond for them. I can do things that most animal caretakers aren’t comfortable with, such as administer medications, light training, cleaning, bathing, grooming, even go pet shopping if needed! I will treat your babies as my own 😊 I have a huge yard & I live a few miles from a park with a walking trail. I own my business and work from home on my own schedule so I can work around my animal care schedule if needed. I have a 6 month old but can and will refrain from contact if needed. I have pets of my own as well as fosters at any given time, however my house is split level and plenty big enough to separate my animals from visiting one's to ensure safety.

About: I've had a dog or multiple dogs at once since I was 4...my husband and I currently have 6 labs along with 2 cats, and my mothers maltipoo...We have outdoor kennels and we do offer in home boarding for smaller dogs and upon request depending on situation/circumstances and pet personality.We love our dogs and will treat yours like ours. We are currently working from home. So alot of our time is devoted to our animals.we have 2 boys who help out and love animals too. We make sure our kennels are cleaned daily and anything else that is needed.We are homebodies so we are with our animals should they need anything, plus our extra time means extra playtime outside of the kennels. We can care for crate trained animals, outside or inside pets. But you won't have to worry about them being stuck in a small & scary concrete kennel. Your furbaby can stay in one of Our large outdoor kennels with good separation and a common area for playtime. Besides playtime they will love watching the cats, chickens and cows around them.We have a lab and maltipoo inside and can possibly bring your fur baby inside if needed...***may be additional charge for inside,certain breeds or larger dogs***...Just let us know your preferences and we can go from there.

About: I connect with animals of all kinds! I've had several dogs and cats, rabbits, pigs, turkeys, snakes, lizards, and a chinchilla. I currently have goats, chickens, 5 cats and a dog. I care for animals the way I care for children, they bring me such joy! I have also captured strays to get them to a rescue, and helped wild animals with injuries. I am very attentive to the animals moods and behaviors, while also going above and beyond to make sure they feel safe. I have dealt with sick animals, given medications, assisted in giving injections and followed food regimens. I have been bitten by several different kinds of animals, so I know how to deal with being bitten. I have plenty of energy to walk and play, and my own reliable transportation. I've done extensive research on behaviors and relationships of pets and I'm always learning. I would be happy to write daily reports and/or take pictures, whatever makes you feel at ease. Outside of caring for my own animals, I'm not a very busy individual, so if you need a last minute service, I will likely be available. I can transport animals in my car and also have a female German Shepherd who is fixed and is sweet as can be, if your pup would like a play mate! I take care of my animals daily, but have plenty of free time for yours! Morning, afternoon or evening, I'm available for your pet care needs. My pets are well taken care of and honestly a little spoiled 🤭. We have different foods for different cat needs, we don't use cheap food brands in our household. Our dog is walked at least 5 times a week, sometimes more. Each animals gets individual attention and plenty of pets. I make my own treats to give my dog her medicine and also try other pet recipes from time to time. All animals are vaccinated, de-wormed, and get vet check-ins annually.

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, safety and comfort always come first. I make sure the environment is clean, pet-proofed, and stress-free, with plenty of space to relax and play. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, medications, walk times, and any special instructions—to keep things consistent and familiar. In my own home, pets are treated like family. I provide a calm, cozy space with plenty of love, supervision, and enrichment. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain their pet’s normal routine, and keep communication open so they always feel informed and reassured. Above all, I build trust through reliability, attentiveness, and genuine care—because I know pets are more than animals; they’re family.

I have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. Inside, they’ll have a cozy, pet-friendly environment with plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I tailor care to each pet’s personality and routine—whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, giving daily meds, or just making sure they get their favorite toy before bed. I also have two friendly dogs of my own, a senior Lab and a playful Beagle-Hound mix, who love making new friends (but I can easily keep pets separated if needed). When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow instructions closely to maintain consistency and comfort for your pet. My goal is to keep things stress-free—for both you and your furry family member.

Reach out to me today, I can’t wait to meet you! I’m at stay-at-home wife who is currently enrolled in school online. I have the luxury of making my own schedule, so your pets will always be the priority. As stated previously, my schedule will be based around your pet/s. I’ll be at the home promptly for any scheduled walks or potty breaks and will be able to dedicate the necessary time to give your pet/s the attention they deserve. House sitting will consist of myself coming to stay in the home with the pet/s. This will include all of the necessary actions such as walking, potty breaks, and feeding. I also like to get a copy of what the routine normally is for the pet/s, just so we can keep the day as normal as possible for them. Please let me know of any medical conditions ahead of time, such as allergies or illness, and any medication that may be required.

About: Growing up my family has raised and trained many animals; from dogs, cats, rabbits... all the way to chinchillas! I have no problem with size or species. If you have any questions feel free to ask! As a full time student weekends are best, but I am willing to make the trip on weekdays if need be. During vacations my availability is generally open! I love hiking, running and going for walks, and your pet is more than welcome to join! I have experience with raising animals from newborn to senior. My experience as an Eagle Scout has also given me experience with training in many things from home to animal care.

About: Im naturally good with animals. I have volunteered at animal shelters, and in my lifetime, i have owned three dachshunds, a Jack Russell, and a Collie. I would treat anyone's pet as my own and I would love to be a part of your fur babies daily walks! I work but my schedule is flexible. So just check my availability or send me a request. Currently unable to board overnight at my home but I can pet sit at my home for a few hours. I have access to a dog park where I live. I have access to dog park. My home is very pet friendly and safe. There are no other animals in my home at this time.

About: Just like humans, pet’s need exercise and enrichment for their mental and physical well-being. If you don’t have the time or ability to take your dogs out for walks, let me help! I have been in the veterinary field since 2006 and a Licensed Veterinary Technician since 2010. I have experience with all stages of life (puppy/adult/geriatric), medical needs, and behavior. I’m currently working part-time, so I can be flexible to accommodate your schedule. I can either walk in your neighborhood or take your dog to a walking trail. My pets and the pets I care for are a very important part of my life and I connect deeply with animals. I have a reliable vehicle and an excellent driving record and only walk at safe, well-known walking trails (think Creeper Trail, Sugar Hollow). I am sensitive to dog behavior and understand that each animal has unique needs and requirements.
