About: Ive been around dogs a lot. I have 3 of my own. One named Hope. She’s more active, and needs alot of playtime. So I’m definitely good at managing that. One name is Oakley, he likes to be babied and cuddled. Ones name is Hank, and he is just the chillest dog haha. I already have dogs so I work 24/7 with my own. I have a lot of time on my hands so I’m free whenever. Anytime you just need a break I can come help, when you’re gone. I’ll do it. I give baths, I walk them, I play ball/fetch with them. I take them potty, feed them, give them treats. I do all the things it takes to take care of a dog, the same way you would treat a baby.

I have never left my fur babies with anyone other than my daughter before. I couldn’t say enough how great she was. Ollie who is normally shy and takes awhile to warm up to people was sitting on her lap before I hardly got gone. I would not use anyone else.

Megan was wonderful with our two dogs and we would definitely use her services again! She sent pictures throughout her stay and kept us updated. We are confident that our dogs were much more comfortable and less anxious staying at home with Megan, than being boarded.

Jenna stayed at our home for 8 days while we were on vacation. She took excellent care of our pug Cookie and our two chinchillas. She is very conscientious and communicative with any questions. I felt such relief having her take care of things for us while we were away. Thank you Jenna!!!

About: I have worked with just about every type of animal. I worked as a veterinary assistant for five years and fostered for 10+ years. I have always loved animals and always go above and beyond for my furbabies. I often foster animals in need, as well as adopt animals in need. I honestly just have so much love and compassion to give out to all animals. I cant wait to meet your fur babies and get to know them better! Let me know if you have any questions! I am free most days with the ability to tend to your furbaby's needs whenever works best for you, as I am currently self employed and create my own schedule. I have a fenced in yard with lots of toys and room to run. I spend 2-3 hours outside (depending on the weather) with the pups playing fetch or other games.

About: I am a proud mother of a 4yr old son and an 10 yr old daughter.. My daughter is usually at school for most of the day. However, caring for both full time I have come to notice animals stimulate both kids and teach them respect, responsibility and routine. We are excited to em"bark" on this new chapter in life and cant wait to start. Together, I believe all 3 of my family unit would not only love, but sincerely enjoy even the smallest and largest pets while their 'parents' are away or just need some attention. With summer upon us - my schedule (and helping hands) have become more flexible. Currently, I am available every day from 6am to 7pm. Holidays, weekends, and every day that ends in "Y"! With respect to the pet , clients home, and specific care needs, I try to always keep an open mind and heart but keeping respect in the foreground.

About: I currently have two Pekingese pups. They are half siblings (they share the same dad). I have an indoor cat as well. I have also had hairless guinea pigs in the past as well. I've grown up with animals my whole life and I love the energy that they bring, no matter their age. I will take your pets out for potty breaks and walks in a timely manner and make sure that they are fed and well loved while you are away. I will also make sure that they get the utmost attention while I am watching them or walking them (whatever your needs for your dog may be). I would love the opportunity to get to meet your pet because my pets are my world as I know yours are for you. I get up at 5am everyday and walk my dog Reecie. After our walk, I make sure he gets his breakfast and has enough water. I have a fenced in backyard. I have bells on the front and back doors that the dogs ring to let me know when they need to go out.

About: I have had a strong interest in animals since I was around 5 years old. That being animal care and animal medicine, as I’ve gotten older that interest has only grown and turned into love. I truly love what I do so much, there’s something about helping animals or people who can’t help themselves that makes me feel very fulfilled. When it comes to personal experience, I have owned pets since I was toddler age. I have had dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc. I have lived with and taken care of bigger and smaller animals, older and younger animals, animals with different energy levels and temperaments so I have a lot of practice and patience when it comes to the babies and I am always willing to learn more. I currently have 5 pets which conclude one dog and 4 cats. ALL of my animals are from the shelter or were found outside as strays and have been given all of the proper shots and medications since being in my care which I have records of. All of my animals get outside time when weather permits which is always supervised, as well as they must be leashed with a collar or harness, they also get proper medication before going for outside time to prevent fleas or ticks. They have a variety of toys but me and my spouse also give them interactive playtime with us, I regularly groom them which includes being bathed, brushed, teeth cleaned, ears cleaned, nails cut/filed, regular vet check ups, daily/weekly/monthly or yearly medications that are needed and more. I love my animals like they are my children and I would love to treat all of your animals just like I treat mine and gain some professional experience so I can expand myself in the animal care and animal medicine field. I would be more than happy to have potential clients come to my home and make sure it is up to their standards and to see how my animals interact with theirs! Please let me know if there is any further questions. I was working full time but I did decide to resign from my job due to unfairness in the work place from supervisors but I do have managers that I worked under and coworkers whom I worked with that can vouch for me being extremely hardworking, attentive, good with people, reliable, willing to learn and more! I currently am completely free when it comes to my schedule. My schedule currently consists of side gigs like cleaning for extra money and at home duties such as caring for my house and animals! I unfortunately don’t have a fence yard but! My neighborhood is extremely animal friendly. Majority of my neighbors have dogs who interact with my dog and play with my dog when I take him for walks. Everyone always has their animals on leads or fenced in their yards. I personally put on a harness for my dog before every time he goes out even if it’s in the backyard and even though he is trained to stay. Only time my dog is allowed off leash is at the fenced in dog park. If the weather is nice and my cats get outside time it HAS to be supervised and they must be on a lead whether that be a leash I’m holding or a lead attached to our home. As I said all of the dogs in our neighborhood are leased or fenced in but I like to be extra safe when it comes to my fur babies and I’d do the same for yours! My animals also have scheduled feeding times and daily vitamins, daily play/interaction time, 6 different sources of water which are 4 bowls and two water fountains. 3 litter boxes, one is automatic and I have safety tested it plenty, the other two being regular stainless steel boxes that get cleaned twice daily by me and my spouse. I do not crate any of my animals but I do have prior crating experience and will happily do that for clients if that works better for them and their pets! I give my animals top tier care to the point where everyone around me believes I should start creating professional experience for myself in animal care. Me and my 5 fur babies would love to have your fur babies over to care for them or I would love to come to your homes to make sure your pets are getting the proper care while you are away because I personally know that’s something very important to have as a pet owner. If you are interested in getting to know me and my pets don’t hesitate to send a message!

About: My goal in life is to be your pets newest best friend. I have had experience with my very vocal and fat beagle that is 6. As well as a retired belgian malinois bomb dog that is 10. I can play fetch for hours, play games, or sit and cuddle a coach potato. I can be at your door anytime I do not have class at my flight school! I work part time at a coffee shop but my hours are very low because of school. I would really like pet sitting to be my job instead as I transition into this. I am attending a flight school to become a pilot. I am there just for a few hours a day through the week. But any chance I get I will pet sit! Since having experience with dogs and cats. I understand I am a visitor in THEIR home. I will make sure I do not intrude and make each visit a positive time. Walking, crating, potty breaks, a good cuddle and pet are all things I will do 100%. I also am at deep cleaning typical litter boxes, and can clean crates as well. If you have a fenced in yard I will play for hours. I love to walk dogs as long as they can be walked safely! Cats are pretty independent but I would love to come pay them attention!

Madie was amazing. We had a last minute conflict with our dog sitter and she came to the rescue. It was our first time using someone who was not family watching her. She came to our house on Thanksgiving to do a meet and greet which greatly decreased our hesitation about using someone else to watch our fur baby. Madie went above and beyond what we could have asked for. She was professional and extremely kind. She cared for Stella as if she were her own. We will definitely be using her again! Cannot recommend her enough.

About: I have taken care of many animals ranging from puppies/kittens to seniors. I am comfortable with any medication giving (my older boy needs medicine from time to time), as well as any other requirements! I currently work part-time, so I will have a lot of time to take care of your fur babies! I would like to eventually make this my full-time job, but would like to build a client base first with people who trust my care. In my home, I have a fenced in yard with a lot of outside toys meant for playing fetch. In other homes, I am comfortable with whatever the owner requests. I love going on long walks with dogs, especially in nice weather! I also love playing fetch in the yard to get all those zoomies out!
