“So thankful for Jeanie! She accepted a last minute walk on Friday evening of a holiday weekend. She also took care of some packages that had been delivered to our porch. A lifesaver for me! And my pup looked like she was enjoying her walk. I’m a happy customer. :)”
About: I have spent my entire life with animals as part of my family! My experience includes dogs of all breeds and temperaments, from the most relaxed lab to the highest energy pair of cattle dogs. I’ve now also experienced the joys of cats, with my own little kitten! I am ready to be as active or relaxed with your pet as you need. I work part time and have my 3-year-old daughter with me after school hours. I am available for drop ins regularly, and house-sitting/boarding during periods with more availability. In a client’s home, I respect the limits of where you choose to allow your pet and am happy to take dogs on walks or facilitate outdoor time as needed. I have a fenced yard in my home and keep doors to most rooms closed. My home is toddler-proof, so also largely pet proof!

About: As a child, my siblings and I raised dogs and cats at our country house. Therein, I spent a large portion of my childhood with animals, where I learned to respect them and appreciate how unique and loveable they can be. I am working part-time, which gives me plenty of time to either check in on your pets, walk them, or spend time with them. I love cats and dogs equally. I have three dogs at home, two of them are big dogs and one of them is small. The first two I mentioned, were rescued as puppies-and so I have a deep appreciation for all types of dogs and cats, despite their pasts. I also have a history with cats, the number of them I cannot say, but I love taking care of them too.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters? My commitment to provide the best possible care for each and every pet that comes my way. I understand that each pet is unique and has different needs, and I take the time to get to know each one in order to provide the best possible care. I work from home so my eyes are always on. This makes early mornings and late evenings available Monday through Friday and all weekends open for more flexible hours. Let me take the work out of “pet care” so you can just CARE! I can come to you so your baby feels safe and knows their surroundings. Taking on the “work” part for you, like walking at 6am or staying in my clients home for the weekend while they enjoy time away! Enjoy your time w/your baby and I’ll do the rest!
About: I’ve grown up around many different breed of dogs, and many different kinds of animals. I have watched animals for family and friends for years, whether they’re puppies or senior. I figured it was time to extend my services as it’s something I really enjoy. I am very attentive and treat every animal like they’re my own! I am in my first trimester of pregnancy and recently had to step away from my job, so I am home all day, and always looking for something to do. This means I have all the time in the world to give your fur baby all of the love and attention they deserve! I have a fenced in yard and one little dog named Peanut, who just loves other animals! We go out in the yard for a bit every morning and after breakfast and then go for our morning walk around our very dog friendly neighborhood, and repeat again in the afternoon after dinner! There is also a large dog park that is typically unoccupied that Peanut loves to run around and play at!

About: I have cared for different breeds, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring special attention. My responsibilities included daily walks, feeding, grooming, and administering medication when needed. Pet care is an essential part of my daily and weekly routine. Each morning starts with feeding my pets, followed by their daily walk or playtime. This helps them get the exercise they need and gives me a chance to enjoy some bonding time. Throughout the week, I make it a point to spend quality time with them, whether it’s playing, training, or just cuddling on the couch. Grooming is another key aspect; I set aside time each week to brush them and check for any signs of health issues. Caring for pets at home and for clients involves a mix of attention and routine. In my home, I maintain a structured schedule for feeding, exercise, and playtime while keeping their living space clean and safe. Regular grooming and vet check-ups are important too. For clients’ pets, I follow their specific instructions, ensuring I meet each pet’s needs through proper feeding, exercise, and play. I also monitor their behavior and health, reporting any concerns. Overall, I focus on creating a loving and safe environment for both my pets and my clients' pets.
