About: I have taken care of people's furry friends for around three years! I have experience with dogs, cats, geese, chickens, and goats! Also, grew up with two needy pups, so I understand the strict schedules our animals need! Let's make sure your animals get the care they deserve! As of right now, I have a lot of free time during my day! I can let the animals out, feed them, walk them, or play with them. I will make sure your pet is loved like it is my own! Any furry friend automatically has my heart. I want to make sure I enter the home with love! Our animals can sense negativity and hesitation.
About: I've owned pets all of my life from reptiles (bearded dragons and turtles), to dogs (big and small), cats of all personality types, and many different rodents (rabbits, Guinea pigs, mice). I love caring for pets and giving them whatever they need to feel happy and comfortable. I have been taking care of pets in a professional setting for 10 years and even worked as a veterinary assistant for 5 years so I know how to administer many types of pet medications. I am also a certified dog trainer, so I know how to care for dogs of all energy levels and temperaments! I know that every pet has different needs and personalities and I can meet those needs! I work full time, but have spurts of time where I can stop in to care for a pet, take a dog on a walk, or spend some time cuddling with a pet. I can pick dogs up for walks at your home and take them on a local hike or a walk around the neighborhood or local park. I can stop by to let puppies (or dogs of any age) out to potty and give them some love and affection as well! I often care for cats where I stop into the home one a day or once every other day (depending on the owners preference) and make sure your cat has food, fresh water, and clean litter box. I also water house plants as needed if requested:)

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of hands-on animal care experience and a genuine passion for animals. While attending college, I worked as a veterinary technician in both general practice and emergency care settings. Although this experience was several years ago, it provided me with valuable knowledge of animal behavior, safe handling techniques, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention or care. In addition to my veterinary experience, I have spent years caring for pets belonging to family and friends. My experience extends beyond dogs and cats to include horses, pet birds, chickens, and reptiles. At home, we have a spirited Silver Labrador, a Cavapoo who is my son's best friend, a cat, a horse, and a gecko that spends school breaks with us. Being surrounded by animals every day has helped me develop a strong understanding of their unique personalities, needs, and routines. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a senior needing extra patience and attention, or somewhere in between, I am committed to providing dependable, loving care tailored to their individual needs. I understand that pets are family, and I will treat your furry, feathered, or scaled family members with the same care and attention I give my own. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine. As a teacher currently on summer break, I have open availability and a flexible schedule to provide reliable care and attention for your pets. During the school year, I am available on weekends, school breaks, holidays, and evenings. I am committed to ensuring pets receive consistent, loving care and maintaining their routines while their owners are away. I believe pets are often happiest and most comfortable in their own home, where they can maintain their normal routines and familiar surroundings. For that reason, I prefer to provide care in my clients' homes whenever possible. I take the time to follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, medications, and plenty of attention and affection. If boarding in my home is needed, I have a securely fenced yard and a pet-friendly environment. My household includes two friendly dogs, a cat, and a classroom pet gecko. I carefully consider each pet's temperament and needs to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while in my home. My goal is always to provide a loving, low-stress experience that helps pets feel secure while their owners are away.
