“Anne was good with Apache. She accommodated my request despite it being last minute. She was on time and communicated well with me and sent me photos of Apache when she was over. I would definitely recommend Anne to anyone and would absolutely book with her again! Thank you so much Anne :)”

About: I have taken care of all types of animals for ten years and owned them since I can remember. Experienced in all kinds of animals! All the way from horse to snakes I have trained in all aspects of animal care. I am a current stay at home mama so I have all the time for your baby’s needs! I have owned all different kinds of animals through out my life! I have a car so can come to you and more than willing to work with any and all species of animals! I also have training for special needs animals and with rescue animals who need that confidence and help as well. I volunteer with local shelters and other rescues programs for animals so I’m highly experienced with traumatized animals and have ways and even techniques to help so if even your maybe looking for some advice and help I’m then willing to give any guidance I can! I look for to work with everyone on here and I hope I get the chance to meet your amazing baby’s! I hope you have a wonderful day! I currently stay at home and care for my infant daughter so I have plenty of time for all your baby’s needs! Thank you! I have an Australian shepherd at home and live in the woods with an invisible fence for dogs safety as we have a swamp marsh all the other side of the woods and extra collars! I also have plenty of treats and snuggles to go around and way to many pet toys!

About: What sets me aside from the average sitter is I don't just think of your animals as just your pet but as your own human kid. I treat it as it's equal and deserves my eyes and not my phones camera lens. Your pet, and everyone's pet human child deserves a fresh mind. I can help them even achieve any goals/tricks. I'll come with a handful of treats ready to start our day. Pet Care fits in my routine by a breeze. I'm a stay at home mom of 2. I wake up early prepare breakfast, pack lunches, get them ready and off to school they go. I get home do a little morning clean up as I do that I can easily exercise and play with your pet. After the morning clean up (which can always wait till later) I'm ready for your pet and Mine's adventure. At my home I have a fenced in yard, that's a decent size for small or large pets. I am close to dog friendly walking parks/trails. My neighborhood has a sidewalk that wraps around the block so its a nice for morning stroll.

“I highly recommend Veronica as a dog walker and caretaker. Reliability and responsibility are among Veronica‘s greatest strengths. She communicates effectively with pet owners by providing regular updates and photos.”

About: I’m knowledgeable in breed-specific needs and maintain consistency to keep them mentally and physically happy! I have previously taken dog behavior courses and am familiar with dog body language. I have worked with dogs of all sizes and ages! No dog is “too much!” I am comfortable with administering medications and providing grooming for long haired/high maintenance breeds. I have worked with puppies all the way up to senior dogs so I am comfortable handling all ages. I have a full-time job but am more than happy to fit time in to take care of your lovely fur baby. My typical shift is 8:00-4:30pm M-F. I have open availability on weekends to provide housesitting! If you are looking for constant care (pet cannot be left alone for 4 hours or more), I am happy to provide that however, I do charge a constant care rate if during the work week as I will need to take those days off and I will need to recoup lost salary. For constant care pets, I do require at least a month’s notice ahead of time so I can get that time off to accommodate. I will never take a sit if my work schedule cannot accommodate it—your pet’s care and safety is extremely important to me. I will work with you to decide if I am the right fit for your pet’s needs and routine. Nothing is worse than upsetting your pet’s routine and comfortability! I now offer drop-visits as well! This is great for people who might need someone to check in your fur baby a couple times a day but does not need around-the-clock needs. I am happy to drop in before work (8am) and can drop by after work! If you’re someone who works longer shifts, this is perfect for you! I am comfortable crating your pet if requested but they are also more than welcome to share a bed with me if they are used to sleeping with you! If you have an unfenced yard, I will keep them on leash at all times. If you have a fenced yard, I will stay out and monitor them until they are ready to come inside. Doors will be locked at all times whether I am in the home with your pet or if I’m at work. If you have any home-alarm systems, I will use them as well.

About: I can travel. I have dealt with medications. Great at juggling more than one pet! Attentive!! Responsible. Happy pets! Happy owners! You won’t be disappointed! I am working part time. I’m hoping to make pet care a larger part of my occupation. I’m available more than most people with jobs. I ensure they have a healthy routine. Consistency is important to me for walks and meals. And giving them lots of love! Always being cautious!

“Tara is the best! She genuinely enjoys the time she spent with Charlie and he sure loved to have her. Tara was very responsive and made the whole process easy and even sent me pictures! 🥰 I highly recommend Tara!!”

I have had animals all my life, from dog/cat to exotic to farm animals. I love them all and am willing to help with whatever you'll need! Cats, rats, dragons or fish/axolotl's. Ive even fed roaches to a lizard petsitting a neighbors house! That was icky but i did it🤣 I am a stay at home mama, my kids are in school and so when my farm chores are done, Id love to take care of your babies to earn extra mula :) Who wouldnt want to get paid to play with animals?🤣 One of my dogs is super protective so Id have to go to their home, but I could play, throw the ball, go for a hike etc. Whatever the owner tells me the dog likes, we can do! :) I dont mind. Ive had a great dane that fetched three times just wanted to cuddle and Ive had german shepherds who fetched a million times and didnt want cuddles! So whatever the owner tells me, ill respect of them and their furbaby🫶🏼

About: My animal experience began as a child, having MANY cats, dogs of various sizes, bunnies, hamsters, Guinea pigs, turtles, and more as pets! As an adult I now have Siberian Huskies, German Shepherds, and a few large breed mixes. My boyfriend and I also raise Siberian Huskies and GSD’s. I currently have dogs, cats, a tortoise, and a few different wildlife species. In terms of professional experience, I have been working as a veterinary assistant for the past ten years, and am currently a veterinary surgical assistant in Jackson. In my “spare” time, I foster animals for JCAS and do some wildlife rehabilitation work! I am comfortable caring for all species of animals, with any special need! Pet care is literally my entire life. I work ten hour days as a veterinary assistant, and then come home and take care of the animals at my home. It’s my passion and gives me purpose. I care for other peoples pets as if they are my own babies. I follow instructions well, so will be sure to perform appropriate tasks and feedings exactly as the pet parents prefer.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I have helped family and friends by watching their animals while they are gone. I enjoy spending time with animals. I work full time. I am mainly available in the evenings and weekends. My work schedule can vary some days and I may be available during the day. My children love animals, if appropriate I would love to be able to bring them along at times to help teach them responsibility and to give your pet extra attention. Please know if you are not comfortable with my children coming that is perfectly fine and I will come on my own. I am not available to care for pets in my own home. My dog does not always get along with other animals. I can dog sit in your home.

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. I have assisted with obedience, and behavioral trainings. Im a well seasoned handler to all ages, and different breeds. I like to perform a structured walk with them daily because that is one of the most important daily thing in there life. Not only does it give them physical exercise, but mentally to stay with there human. I work part time cleaning in the evening for a few hours. I do already have established clients on my own to take care of there pup while they work long hours. I do want to expand and get more clients and work with other animals as well. I have a full house of animals. I would not be able to take animals home to my home, because that can be stressful for clients dogs or cats. I recommend leaving them in the comfort of there own home. I do have 2 dogs that I have taken on trainings with me and there so great with other dogs and they have learn training techniques so show other dogs to be mindful and respectful. they would be great playdate companions to other dogs

“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Poppy and Iris today! I really appreciate you walking my girls and spending time with them! I know they were happy to see you!”

About: I have had dogs and cats in my home since I was a child. I have always taken the best of care of my pets. I worked for the Humane Society at one time, but my heart almost broke with love for all of those animals. I always wave and speak to animals, a little corny, but true. You will not find someone who cares more about the well being of your pet. I have also welcomed pet visitors into my classroom frequently. I am currently off for the summer because I am a teacher, so I have lots of time to love and devote to your pet! I have a fenced back yard that allows for running and playing. My own children love pets also. I have two dogs and two cats of my own.

About: I've worked as a vet assistant, at a pet store, volunteered at a animal shelter and have been dog training, grooming, walking and pet/dog sitting for years. This is what I do for work so I am able to be with your sweeties as much as possible! Feel free to reach out to me! I always monitor and take as best care of them possible. Excercise when they need, rest when they need, potty, food etc. if your pets have a schedule I'll stick to it. If not well then tell me what you'd like and call it done!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for years doing all responsibilities necessary. I also have a German Shepherd and a cat of my own! I enjoy helping others and being around animals. I love meeting new animals and seeing how different every personality is. I currently am not working, so I have plenty of time to care for furry friends! My pets do not super high maintenance, so it is easy for me to fit in others. Besides taking my dog to the park on the daily :) My dog is crated during the day. I live in a house but it’s partially fenced, so I do let him out on leash currently. I’d always have a dog on leash when out of an un-fenced area.

About: Pet enthusiast looking to share my love and compassion for animals in exchange for fair rates. I have ample room so prolonged pet watching be it overnight or long-term is available. Flexible rates for weekly, biweekly or monthly. Your Fur-baby will be in wonderful loving hands. I am a independent contractor so very flexible schedule to give the care that is needed to your pal(s). Can set aside ample time for him or her. I provide care that is aligned with how a pet owner would want their pet taken care of. I treat pets like the fur mamma I am, with loving compassion and patience knowing that a pet is a part of the family first and an animal second respecting each individual's own set of needs and natural behavior. I am going to school for vet tech so boarding and taking care of pets is not jus a gig it is a passion and a lifelong love.

About: I got my first puppy when I was 7 years old- it taught me responsibility, care, and love for all animals. Knowing how much I loved this cute pup, I expanded my scope of what loving animals means to me. I adopted 2 cats 6 years later, and was in a 4-h club for 7 years and raised over 30 rabbits, along with tending to all the other animals at the fairgrounds. I had 3 cute little hamsters as pets when I was in high school as well. I have also had the pleasure of taking care of other peoples dogs, cats, birds, and many other animals, which I enjoy an immense amount. I am flexible in my schedule and can accommodate to anyones needs. I have a car to get to where I need to go, so I don’t have many things holding me back from giving your pet the care it needs. I have always been very respectful and caring for my animals, and I believe they deserve the utmost care. I care that the pets know my smell and my voice and trust me completely- I do not want any animal to feel as if there is a stranger in their home that they need to be wary of. I will do my very best to provide the most comforting experience for them.

About: I have had cats all of my life, ranging from young kittens to elderly cats (fun fact: my oldest cat lived into her 20’s). I respect their space, play with them, and give them all of the love I can. While I currently don’t own a dog, I am comfortable with them as well. When offering services in home, I am available to grab your packages, do light cleaning, water your plants, and send you cute photos of your babies. I work full time at an 8-4 job. I can come in before or after work plus full availability on the weekends to come care for your pets. I will always respect the animal’s space and make them feel as comfortable as possible. I would wait for them to warm up to me rather than forcing them into an uncomfortable situation.

About: Animals are life! I have been an Animal caretaker since I was 15. I’m the animal guru everyone calls for simple solutions until they can go to the vet. I currently work at a dog resort, I’m very flexible with my hours and have plenty of time to help you out with the animals. It’s all about the safety of the animals. Making sure they have plenty of fresh water and feed properly with no added stress to the animal.
