Ann is super great with my puppies. If they make a mess she cleans it up while I am working. She is super accommodating with my schedule. They love her and she really takes the time to make sure they have all the attention they need. I love the pictures and video she sends me of their time together.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for friends and family. They have relied on me to walk, bathe, feed and care for their pets when they needed the help. I also have pets of my own and cared for senior pets and the youngins. I’m currently not reaching the hours I need at my job and have a flexible schedule. So I can easily fit side quests in and would love to use that spare time to care for some furbabies! I love to be active and get out, so I am able to walk dogs/puppies and play with them. I also have alot of patience for pets who are shy. I love cats so much and understand their boundaries and when they are scared. I am really good with getting pets out of their shells and socializing.

Colton did an excellent job walking my dog Honey both times. The second time he had to straighten out my harness because I messed it up! Honey is a Rhodesian Ridgeback/American Staffordshire and she can be quite a handful to walk. Honey came back tired and ready to relax. Thank you Colton!

About: I’ve had pets my entire life - first cat at 6, many many cats after that. I helped my parents with their 8 dogs (rescues + bonus dogs are always fun!), my aunt with her 7, and at 20 finally decided on a dog of my own! My roommate and I now have 6 pets between the two of us, so I’m more then experienced with them. I’ve always been the one who wants to take them on walks, give them baths, teach them fun tricks, or even just enjoy cuddle time in front of the tv. I usually have availability! If it’s marked as unavailable on my calendar you’re welcome to message me to arrange something on those days. I’m pretty flexible when it comes to pet care. I’m more then willing to comply with anything you need, pet wise! Kennel training if you prefer it, walking them on a harness if they’re not leash trained, supervision with toys and treats. If they’re not particularly people friendly I will happily sit on the floor and let them get used to me too. Safety is very important to me! And I’ll happily take all the time I can to send pet pictures and updates; that’s my favorite part.

About: 🐾 Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by horses, cattle, and chickens—and even lived on a fox farm. One of my most unique companions was Barbara, my pet fox, who won “Most Unusual Pet” at our state fair several years in a row! Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide range of pets including dogs, cats (yes, even the hairless kind!), guinea pigs, fish, toads, and a couple of hermit crabs. I’m experienced in senior pet care and understand the importance of gentle handling and specialized attention, including administering medications both orally and via injection. I’m also well-versed in puppy care and potty training, and I’ll always follow your lead to maintain consistency with your pup’s routine. I have a special place in my heart for animals in need—many of my own pets have been rescues or strays. One unforgettable experience was taking in a pregnant stray cat who gave birth to eight kittens! It was chaotic, heartwarming, and absolutely worth it. I found loving homes for all the kittens, and the mama cat is still with me today. 🌿 For all overnight house-sitting stays, my rate includes a variety of helpful extras to keep your home running smoothly. I’ll check the mail, handle light tidying, water both indoor and outdoor plants, and even move that forgotten laundry from the washer to the dryer. I also provide basic pool upkeep, such as checking skimmers and topping off water levels. Consider it peace of mind while you're away—your pets and your home are in caring, capable hands. 🌟 Life threw me a curveball with an unexpected job loss, but I'm choosing to see it as an opportunity to pursue something I truly love—caring for pets, plants and your home! With a flexible schedule and a passion for animals, I'm available on short notice most days, evenings, weekends, and even holidays. If I'm going to take a pay cut, it’s going to be for something that brings me joy—and helping pet parents is exactly that. I'm excited to start building lasting relationships with clients and their furry companions! 🐾 Every pet is unique, and I tailor each drop-in visit to meet their individual needs. At a minimum, I ensure fresh water and food are provided, and I sanitize bowls daily to keep things clean and safe. I also will poop scoop (weather permitting) and check litter boxes. When it comes to exercise and play, I follow your pet’s favorite routine—whether that’s chasing a stream from the water hose, fetching a ball, soaking up belly rubs, or even going for a joyride. I’m happy to provide visit notes, photos, or any updates you’d like. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're at work, on vacation, or simply away—knowing your furry family member is in loving hands. 🌿 For all overnight house-sitting stays, my rate includes a variety of helpful extras to keep your home running smoothly.
