About: I do work a full time job August-May as a cafeteria manager at a school, so please check my calendar for availability. :) I have hands-on experience with puppies, seniors, and reactive dogs. I approach every animal with patience, calm energy, and genuine love. I have two rescues: Athena, an 8-year-old beagle, and Ford, an 8-year-old black lab/German shepherd mix. My daily routine already revolves around playtime, and snuggles so adding more furry friends to the mix is second nature to me. I always aim to keep pets in a stress free and familiar environment, whether that’s in your home or out on a walk. I follow your care instructions and give regular updates so you feel connected while you’re away. I do not offer boarding at this time due to my own dog’s needs, but I’m committed to safe, thoughtful care in your home!
About: A reliable pet sitter with extensive experience, offering personalized care for dogs and cats. I can provide energetic walks, interactive play sessions, cozy cuddles, and careful feeding routines, ensuring your pets feel at home even when you're away. I’m currently working part time and enrolled in college but i typically take online classes. I am typically available whenever needed and can adjust my schedule to whatever is needed. I have a fenced in porch with lots of room for any animals to be able to be outside. Plenty of yard room for them to be able to run around.
“Kyra was great sitter. I would recommend and rebook her again in future.”
About: I've had dogs all of my life aging from newborn puppies to 13 years old. I have trained multiple puppies basic commands like sit, come, speak, and lay down. I can also work on potty training or just play and love your dog. I currently stay at home with my 8 month old baby and the sweetest fur baby. I sometimes have to go to our chicken houses but I can crate your dog for at most an hour or they can venture out with me! I live back off the road on a chicken farm. We have a very long driveway I can take your dog for a walk on. Also, we have a big yard so they will have plenty of room to run and play. I do have the ability to crate your dog if need be.
