About: I have been a Petco certified dog trainer since I was 18 and have dog/house sat many times since! I treat your dog like family and your home with respect! I am flexible! I am available Mondays and Thursdays all day. Saturdays I get off work at 2:00pm I work 9-5 during the rest of the days of the week. But I always need an excuse to use PTO so watching your fur baby won’t be problem! I just need a two week notice Quality time will be spent with your fur baby to make sure they keep busy. Plenty of playtime and mental stimulation. I love using puzzle toys, snuffles and other things to get a dogs mind working!
About: Hello, my name is Ayla. I have been taking care of a variety of pets my entire life. Whether that be my own, my families, or my neighbors. I started working in the pet industry when I was 17. I have worked at stores like Petco and Petsmart. I take a great interest in POSITIVE dog training, and grainfree dog food and treats. I believe our loved ones deserve the best we can offer. My pets are my family and I will always treat other animals the way I treat my own. With love, compassion and patience. I have never been a groomer but I love giving pets a good brushing to keep their coat clean and tangle free. Currently my family consists of three large dogs and two kittens we rescued from the side of the road. I currently am a stay at home dog mom so I can easily adjust plans and care for your pets. I would love for you to consider hiring me. Please note, for house sittings I am willing and prefer to stay at your house. I believe this helps reduce stress and anxiety. I aim to replicate the care and companionship you would give your fur baby. Available every day and any time, I typically have appointments in the afternoon. I take care of my 4 animals while my husband works and study herbalism in my free time. Whenever I take care of another pet I treat them as my own. With tons of pets and love! I will respect your home and leave it as I found it or better. I like to give dogs walk and play with them while I am visiting.
“Janella was so great with my Colby Jack boy. Upon the first meeting, he loved her. Reliable and timely. One day i forgot to put the keys out and she still found a main ten entrance person and got in to walk Colby Jack! Definitely really loves pets!”
About: My love for and connection with animals runs deep from my farm roots and always having a furry friend to care for growing up. I've always had a soft spot for dogs but love all animals. I provide top notch service, making sure your pet gets the mental and physical stimulation they need and showing love and compassion in my services. I have dealt with all dog ages, trained 3 puppies to adulthood and am experienced with most breeds. I'm currently in graduate school and have a flexible schedule working around class and internships. During the week I have several free days and am open to most weekends. I have a crate if needed and a fenced yard. I can cars for your pet at your home or we can arrange to have it in mine.

“Gwendolyn went above and beyond to help us in a bind with our best boy! She gave him a good walk, refilled his bowl with fresh water and even gave him some snackies to hold him over until we got home. On top of that she spent time after the walk to love on him for a while! 10/10 and will be using her again!!”

About: When it comes to your pets, you want them to have the best care there is. My animals are my children. So, I understand the need to feel secure and confident when choosing a pet-sitter. I will treat your pet(s) as if they are my own and give them as much attention and love as they rightfully deserve. You can rest assured they will be in safe, trustworthy and above all, loving hands while you are away. I am competent working with large and small breeds of dogs ,cats (all temperaments), and exotics. Given my veterinary training, I am proficient in identifying emergencies and critical situations that may require veterinary attention should they arise. I'm comfortable with administering medications, following strict feeding/health regiments, and caring for senior, special-needs animals and animals/currently undergoing strict medical regiments. I pride myself in my promptness and ability to strictly adhere to any and all instructions provided. Playtime and walks are an important part of your animal's daily routine and enrichment. During your pet's time with me, I will ensure they receive adequate stimulation and the same quality of care you provide them at home. You can also expect daily pictures and updates of your pet while you are away. A few facts about me and my qualifications: Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. Growing up, I've had several dogs, cats, birds and other various exotics. Currently, I am lucky to be the proud parent of 4 cats. They are my world!! I recently moved to the area from Bonita Springs, FL, where I was a full time vet tech of several years. Veterinary medicine and caring for animals is my calling in life, and I cannot imagine doing anything else. I love being able to help the members of my community and their fur babies! I also volunteered at a wolf sanctuary for 10 years where I was heavily involved with animal husbandry and medication administration. I am available weekdays and weekends to provide your pet(s) the ultimate care. I am detail oriented and am used to caring for multiple animals at once (including sick or recovering). When staying at a client's home or dropping in for a visit/walk I am respectful of your space first and foremost. I am also extremely cautious when entering a home so as not to let animals out as that is my #1 worry with my own animals. I am also a neat freak and will leave your space as you found it.

“There is not much that can be said bad about Shay. My hard to deal with strong pup loves her. If we dont see Shay at least once a week my girl will mope. She gives each dog she interacts with their own time. Her training is spot on. If she can help train my baby she can train anything. She specialized her training to keep my girl engaged and happy as well as learning. She kept at it with me and helped me with my girl. Now we are Star Puppy CGC and working on CGCU and CGCC”

“Whether big or small, a handful or a sweetheart- Ayla proves time and time again that she loves all animals! I think the best part about her is she works hard to earn your pets respect allowing them to be excited whenever she arrives. All of my cats, (who are super shy), adore her while my dog jumps in joy when she visits!

I watched as she worked with her own dog as well and she spent a lot of time training him and working with him. She was reliable and trustworthy and did a great job with Auggie. She is a dog lover and I would recommend her to to anyone. She will build a rapport with your dog and you will like her as a person also. Highly recommended.”

Katherine H.
“I have worked with Kat at Shy Wolf Sanctuary for almost 5 years. She is an experienced and talented animal handler who primarily works with wolves and wolf-dogs at the sanctuary, some with significant behavioral issues. If she can handle then, she can definitely handle your chihuahua or terrier. I would feel good about leaving my own animals in her care and those are exotics as well.”
