About: I am a huge pet lover! I have 4 cats of all ages & 3 chinchillas.. I take pride in giving a high quality- specific to the cat diet. I am consistently providing all types of enrichment for them & I love being creative in that. My chinchillas require a lot of enrichment & a very specific diet. I enjoy changing their cage layout & receiving love from them. Ages of cats are: 13, 6, 6 & 4. The chinchillas are nearing 4, 5 & 6. My cats are always kept up to date on their vetting & my chinchillas may see their exotic as needed. I have experience with: cats, dogs of all sizes, Guinea pigs, freshwater fish, an assortment of lizards including bearded dragons, rats, chinchillas, hamsters, mice, frogs, & a small amount of experience with bunnies. I am so very eager to always learn more. I enjoy sitting for people with strict routines because I have a routine to follow. I also enjoy laidback pet sitting as then I can get creative within reason to dream up some enrichment for the pets while I am visiting. I also have been doing cat rescue for almost 6 years now & am quite experienced. I am deemed the pet lover in my friend & family circles & am often the go to for pet sitting if I am able. I absolutely love meeting other pets & getting to know their boundaries, preferences & quirks! Taking care of my pets is a huge part of my life that I wouldn’t give up for anything. I believe they enrich our lives more than we do theirs. I work full time salaried from home, Monday through Friday from 8am-5pm. However; the only days I truly find myself busy are Tuesdays and Saturdays at times. Unless I am on travel (it is only mon-Fri), I usually have 6 hours or more of free time during that working period. There should be no problem coordinating dedicated time to your pet(s) as needed. All of my pets are fully indoor. Two of my chinchillas are in their double CN cage where cats can see them, but do not interact with. My other chinchilla is in single tiered ferret nation cage. I am an advocate for keeping pets indoors & problem solving solutions for pets who may want a partially outdoor experience. Example: harness training your cat while keeping them on preventatives & consulting your vet first. My cats have a timed feeding with a diet specific to that cat, twice a day. My chinchillas have a once a day feeding including their pellets, fresh hay & access to water at all times; they require a dust bath every 2-3 days. The cats get approximately 15 minutes of exercise 2x a day & lots of opportunities for cuddling or one on one time as wanted. I routinely trim their nails, clean their ears & bathe every 6-12 months as needed.

About: I've worked at multiple shelter and have over 6 years of professional experience working with animals of all ages and sizes. I can do basic puppy training. I'm also open to bathing pets as well! I have 6 years of medical experience and can care for special needs animals. I am also able to give meds and insulin to both dogs and cats. I have one dog at the moment and I'm in between jobs so I have an open schedule! I'm able to work any days and any time works for me. Dogs will only be let out on leash and will be supervised 24/7. I will have my dog created while pets are here so I can focus on your fur babies!

About: Ive cared for pets since I was 10 years old. Caring for not just my personal pets but as well as family and friends pets. I have experience in caring for dogs, cats, and even other pets as well such as guinea pigs, ferrets, and even reptiles. I have a rescue dog, she is a 6 year old american bully mix, she is so loving and spends most of her time curled up next to my 11 year old autistic son. She loves car rides, going to the park or bike rides on the trails. I also have a male ferett who I swear acts just like a crazy cat. He loves jumping around doing his "war dance", he will steal our shoes and hide them under beds. As well as play hide and pounce with our dog. I am able to care for not just your furry animals but your reptile babies as well. Im currently a stay at home parent so I am available 24/7 to give your pet all the attention that they could possibly need and want. If you have a special circumstance, please don't hesitate to talk to me about it and we can come up with a plan that is fit for your pet. I have a large crate if your dog needs to be crated as well as leashes to go out for a walk or potty break. I also keep extra dog food and cat food here as I frequently care for my families pets when they’re in need. All of my doors have extra safety features on them as to ensure the safety of any animal. I do have children in the home but you can be assured that they are very well behaved eapecially around dogs that do not know them. They know not to just run up to any dog as well as not to be climbing on them or do anything that could provoke the pet. Children are normally upstairs in their rooms other than my youngest.

About: I have done dog sitting for several people for more than 10 years. I am Fear Free Certified and currently in the process of receiving my certification from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT). I’ve worked at a boarding and daycare facility, as well as a vet clinic as an assistant for 3 years. I have worked at an animal shelter, caring for animals, for the last 2 years. I have done multiple private dog training sessions for anything from puppies to behavioral modification. Highly knowledgeable in canine enrichment and care. I have experience in caring for senior dogs and cats and I have taken care of a wide variety of breeds. I am experienced in administering medications of all varieties. I have cared for animals recovering from surgery and animals who need extra levels of care. If you want someone who you can fully trust to care for your pet who requires extra medical attention, I’m one of the best options in our area! I also have done dog bathing and grooming. I currently work part-time. I am available most days during the day and almost always available in the early afternoons (2pm at the earliest). When home, I spend lots of time managing playtimes between boarders at my home, or snuggling with older pups who want more attention. I am always happy to accommodate to my client’s pets however they feel is important to the pet! My yard is a little under a half an acre, fenced in with a vinyl privacy fence. My house is 1500 sq ft which dogs get a free roam of! When it is warm out I have a pool for the dogs, splash pad, outdoor toys, and more! I have 3 dogs, a Border Collie and a Husky. I also recently have added on a foster fail, a black lab mix. All of my pups love meeting new friends! I have several years managing dog play groups and dog daycare, I am extremely knowledgeable in dog body language. My house is well equipped for separating dogs as well if needed. I have what I call the “doggy play room” set up downstairs in my house which has been slowly expanding. As of right now I have foam flooring for padded protection, tons of toys and enrichment options, and large pen-style set ups for kenneling as needed if dogs are too stressed or just need time to rest and nap. When caring for pet’s in people’s homes, I am courteous and compassionate. I follow instructions well and listen to how owners feel their pet would most appreciate my care. I follow feeding schedules exactly and have done many different medications of pets including insulin, liquid medications, capsule pills, and tablets. With several years of experience in veterinary assisting and medical boarding, I am completely comfortable caring for pets with more extensive medical needs!
