About: I started taking care of the family dog a few years ago. With him, I administered medication in a positive way and helped train him. I am comfortable using a harness and a regular collar. I also helped train my senior dog on his reactivity with positive reinforcement. Currently, I am on summer break. I work as a teacher during the school year, so my availability for the next few months is open. At my apartment, my roommate’s dog I take out every 2-3 hours and I give him lots of cuddles. I keep an eye out for anything around me to make sure it is safe.
About: Hi there- I have been fostering pets for the local animal shelter and discovered that integrating new human friends into our home environment was a breeze. Like children, our animal friends need love, reasonable boundaries, set routines, and good nutrition, not to mention a 1/2 acre fenced yard that provides plenty of room to roam. My family and I have worked together to ensure that the pets we foster develop the habits necessary for adoption. As pet owners of our Havanese mix, Maggie, we know how frustrating and stressful last-minute travel can be. We stand ready to make your life easier by treating your family member like one of our own. We will take good care of your pet, and we hope they will want to come back.
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals~ domestic and farm animals. My pets are like family to me and I will give yours the same love and care. I work a full-time job as an elementary school principal, but enjoy spending time caring for animals on the weekends or evening hours. I am available for holidays and/or long weekends. I have a fenced in yard and live in a neighborhood with sidewalks and walking trails. I am willing to walk dogs and/or let them run around the fenced in yard with supervision.
“Meghan did an amazing job caring for my two guinea pigs! She was attentive, reliable, and made sure my pigs were well-fed, clean, and happy while I was away. I appreciated the updates and photos too. Highly recommend her services!”
About: I have several years of experience caring for cats, dogs, and birds, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I'm comfortable with a variety of breeds, including larger dogs like German Shepherds and Great Pyrenees. I'm happy to feed them, play with them, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved while their family is away or busy. Whether it's going for a walk, keeping them company, or following their routine, I always treat pets like part of the family. I’m available during most of the day and evenings, making it easy to accommodate a variety of pet care needs and schedules. I'm flexible and happy to work with you to find times that are most convenient. I'm comfortable with crating and uncrating dogs, as well as leash walking. I understand the importance of safety and routine, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions to ensure your pet feels secure and cared for.
About: I’m comfortable with any age, weeks old to senior, including special needs. Puppy training to geriatric pet care. I’m a nurse at my day job so I’m pretty savvy on medication administration, keeping my best pals fed and comfortable. Meeting needs of pet owners and their loved one. I’m a nurse at my day job, but I’m available for all weekend’s and holidays. For one time pet sitting, walks and play time, or vacation stays in home or house sitting. I have an open home for pets to come for sitting, with plenty of outdoor space for long walks. Or I’d be comfortable house sitting and animal sitting for clients as well.
