Pet Sitting Hadley

“Thank you for taking my Derby last minute. You were professional with my expectations, The times we talked about, Great communication if something came up. Thank you for going the extra step and picking up the mess he made when he got into my basket that had snacks in it. I really appreciated that. The pictures you took of him while taking him out, was super sweet. He’s such a good boy. Recommend you anytime.”

About: Life can be hectic, and we always want what's best for our animals, including a reliable sitter! I have been taking care of dogs most of my adult life, from my own rescue pup to family and friend drop-ins visits with their loveable four-leggeds. I specialize in walks and drop-in visits. I would love to meet your happy pup! I'm currently working seasonally, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pup(s)! I'm available Tues-Fri 11am-6pm, and Sat-Mon during these same hours on occasion. If your pup is in need of a drop-in visit, I will make sure to give them some active play time (weather inside or out), use the potty, and feed if he/she is in need of some kibble. If your pup is in need of some outdoor walk time, just show me the leash and we'll head right out the door with poop bags ready - just in case :)

About: I have loved taking care of dogs my entire life. I am lucky enough to be able to help with my five grand dogs. All very different ages and personalities. I’m currently semi retired and looking forward to doing something that I love. Dogs have always been a part of my life and even when we had five little kids in the house, I knew we still needed a dog to add more love and craziness. Now those kids have dogs and I really enjoy being a big part of their life and care. Best “non paying” job ever. I'd welcome the opportunity to help with you with your pups and make new friends. I would be happy to come to your home and help in any way I can. Anything from sitting with, taking out, walking, running, or just playing playing with your pups. I have experience taking care of multiple dogs at once.

About: My whole life I have been surrounded by animals. I grew up with a Golden and after he passed, my two old girls, a Pyrenees and a Bernese. When these girls were just little pups I fell in love with training and took a few online courses. Now they know how to do a handful of tricks including bowing and jumping through hoops. I even introduced those talking buttons to the Berner when she was about 4 years old! During high school I volunteered at a ranch, which had working dogs like your border collie, and I also worked at a dog ranch. The dog ranch was where I got a lot of experience with dogs really quick. From 3lbs Chihuahuas to 160lbs Great Danes, I’ve managed a lot! Here I would walk the dogs on leash twice daily one at a time. If I wasn’t walking dogs I was either feeding them, giving them their medication, or cleaning. I have also had plenty of experience house sitting. Since I grew up in a small farm town, many of my friends had dogs and cats that needed to be taken care of while they were gone; so I was the lucky one who got to take care of their critters! I grew up in a small town in Alberta (Canada) and just graduated University with a degree in Psychology. I hope to somehow incorporate my love for psychology and my love for animals into a career. I’m not too sure exactly what that would look like, but I am interested in therapy dogs. Currently, however, my goal is to eliminate my student loans. I am working full time but since I am working both day and night shifts I have a lot of days off too. And during those days I hope to take care of some of your pups! My/my parent’s doggos are back in Alberta and I miss them so much. It’s one of the more difficult parts of being away from home. However, I currently live with my brother’s high-energy German shepherd. We play fetch, go on hikes, and if I sit to watch a movie she’ll beg to play but then settle down to cuddle. She’s a great pupper. As for your pups, whatever you and your dog needs I’ll do my very best to accommodate! Walks, cuddles, play time, training routines, etc. you name it.

“Paige was great! Able to check on our dog whenever needed while out of town and was very sweet and helpful!”

About: Common courtesy and communication is paramount. **Willing to travel up to an hour away. Just because Rover says you are outside my service area it does not always mean you are. I have clients an hour North and South of me. **Necessary update as of 6/21/23** I will require current credit card info be on file at your vet or provided for me in your pet write up ONLY in case of emergency. In the event of an emergency and I could not get a hold of the human, puppies have no pockets to hold a card, the vet required me to pay. I have raised 3 separate RESCUE Rottweilers to be exceptional ambassadors of their breed. I currently do not have any pets since my big boy passed away in 2016. I hope to again one day have my own dogs. Until then I will love YOUR pet. **I DO NOT board animals at my home. Only repeat clients would MAYBE be possible for a very short amount of time.** Clients pets have included many breeds, species for days, weeks. Many Golden Retrievers, Doodles, mixes aka Heinz57s, Old English Sheep dog, lots of kitties, a chameleon, turtles, a bearded dragon, a small bird, fish, Rottweilers, a very challenging but lovable English Bulldog and Huskies one of which was very reactive. Oh and a LOT of house plants! PLEASE NOTE: I am deathly allergic to horses which I am very sad about. Any type of animal requiring LARGE amounts of hay would also be a problem i.e, goats, cows, alpacas I am sorry to say. Small rodent animals requiring hay for food or bedding has not been a big deal. My personnel dogs were very public dogs, parks, events etc. With the ever present fact in mind that as good as my animal was it is still an animal. Never purposely putting them in a situation to be loose (unless at home or a fenced park) or get into anything that could harm them. Read quite a few books/manuals by military working dog trainers in hopes of training a service oriented Rottie. Came very close to passing the Good Citizen certification but my dogs never liked the “stay” part when I had to walk away with my back turned. They just had to be next to me. So close. PLEASE NOTE: I have my preferences set to NOT to show any photos of YOUR pet publicly. I would ask permission first to share. Photos only NEVER infomation of course. My schedule allows me to be available to be in YOUR HOME, with your pets all day/night, unless noted ahead of time and of course trips to the store. I have many types of animals that insist on sleeping in bed just like they do when their people are home which in fine by me. Just take some Benadryl and snuggle on in. I try to stick closely to how the home runs normally so the pets do not have any surprises that can make them anxious. Sleep, food, walks, play time etc. I supervise dogs in their own yard fenced or not. I am very organized and like an outlined idea of their schedule to be written down for me to follow as closely as YOU would.

“Victoria is very helpful and responsible. She kept me updated on any issue she saw with my dog during the visit and ensure that my dog has fresh water.”

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets, including my own dog and the pets of friends and neighbors. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel loved. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and providing companionship. As an EMT, I am calm under pressure, attentive to detail, and committed to the safety and well-being of every animal. I currently work part-time as an EMT, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Whether your pet needs regular walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or last-minute assistance, I will do my best to provide dependable and consistent care. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for in my daily routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal as if they were my own and take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs they may have. In your home, I will follow all care instructions carefully and keep your pet’s environment clean, secure, and stress-free.

About: 20 plus years experienced caretaker. I've rescued, fostered and adopted senior pets, pregnant mamas, puppies and the like. I have experience with walks, overnights, administering meds, wound care and of course snuggles. I work a pretty flexible part time schedule of afternoon and early evening hours a few days a week that allows me to schedule visits as needed to accommodate your pets schedule. However I am instructed to do so by the owner. In my home, I have a fenced in yard, there is also a dog park in the community. I have animal crates if needed. Large and small depending upon what is needed. I also have a silly dog of my own at home as a companion.

“Melissa provided pictures, videos, and summaries of her visit every day. She went above and beyond to take care of our cat, and even though we missed her, we never worried about her. She also offered to take care of plants, sweeping the litter, etc, to make our life easier upon our return. Melissa clearly loves animals and I would highly recommend her.”

About: I've been around pets my whole life they are the best thing ever created. I've had a 3 dogs and about probably 13 cats in total growing up. Animals are my passion.

I treat other people's pet like my own.
