About: I've had animals all my life. I worked in a vets office for 5 years and ran my own petsitting business. I am able to care for animals with medical needs. I managed a home for the developmentally delayed for 4 years and have the patience to serve all your needs. Currently I have not been working and can do pet care 100% to others schedules to create my own. I am ready to fill the needs of whoever requires it. I have handled alarms system codes, door codes, garage codes, keys to many houses trusted by the owners. I am thorough in learning about your animals and your preferences for their care. I only want the best for them so you can feel secure while you are away.

About: I was raised with an active Gordon setter. He solidified my love for animals. My responsibilities were to feed, water, and play with him daily (Playing was our daily bonding activity). Over the years I've been hired by multiple families to watch cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and temperaments. Hired experience: Responsibilities include feeding at designated times and amounts, ensuring there is always water, caring for bathroom needs (scooping for cats and walks for dogs), playtime and belly rub time. I have always connected well with animals and always try to understand what they need/want. I have a flexible schedule but am available around mid day to afternoon. I am open to discuss the timing needs for your fur babies. My pets have a daily routine of being fed at specific times and in specific amounts. The two cats are pretty inactive during the day, opting to sleep through it. However, after dinner my wife and I walk the cats (one on leash, other in stroller) for about 30 minutes. They receive a dental treat afterwards and make sure they get lots of love.

About: I will ensure your pet is safe at all times. I have 3 dogs myself and they are all different sizes. I play with them, walk them, they get fresh food and water twice daily. I make sure in this heat that they stay cool. They are never locked outside or tied up. My smallest little girl always sleeps with me. I've never hurt an animal. I've passefmy love for pets onto my kids. One daughter is studying to be a vet. I'll treat yours as my own. I do anything asked of me. If they need meds or baths I can do that as well. Nail trimming I can do if they aren't scared of the clippers. My baby girl is but I still do it.

About: Hello pet parents! I have always had pets around me or in my home. I am the go to sitter for friends and family. I have cared for small, large, elderly, shy and super energetic animals. I have also had a spotted leopard gecko. He lived to be about 10 or so, the previous owner didn’t know his age but I figured has was about that old or older. My cousins always had lizards. Now some of them do rescues for lizards. So if you have an exotic pet, they will receive the same quality care as your furry ones. Medications I can do no problem. You just leave me the meds, instructions, and your vets number in case I need to call them. Your pet has weird quirks, like they need to think their meal is chief quality? I can pretend to whip up their kibble like it’s a 5 star dish. They need to be wrapped like a burrito before they can sleep? Or need me to sing a random song before they can poop? I got it, it’s their world and I’m lucky to be in it. Whatever you or your pet needs I’m up to the task. I can’t wait to meet you and your animal friends! I do have 4 cats of my own so morning and evening I feed, clean litter boxes, and entertain them. I would love for animal care to be my full time job. Right now I will be available evenings and weekends until I can make this more permanent. Your animal/furry babies comfort and safety is my top priority. I will not take any pet outside unless they are leashed, contained, or within my site in a fenced in backyard. Before I leave I will make sure that I have laid my eyes on them and all exits are closed/locked. I will not be offering boarding at my place at this time, in the future I would love to. 3 out of the four cats are dog friendly. The one that isn’t has a room they can go in (which they prefer), I have a large fenced in backyard that they will be 100% supervised. No one is escaping on my watch!

Madilyn was amazing and stayed in constant communication with us throughout her visits. It was obvious that our 3 boys took to her right away and enjoyed her company while we were gone. She was very prompt and thorough with all of her visits, provided detailed notes and adorable pictures of our guys, and put our minds at ease with leaving our dogs home while we traveled. Absolutely recommend and will work with her in the future!

About: My name is Neha, I’m a recent pharmacy graduate who is looking to find some amazing, cute pets to sit! I don’t have any pets, so I am eager to take every opportunity that I can to look after some cute fur babies! I am very kind, responsible, understanding, and will work with you! Although I do not have any pets, my desire is to have my own pet in a few years after I am more settled down! Taking care of your pets would give me the opportunity to experience what having a pet is like and all the responsibilities that come along with it. I love dogs of any shape or size. 🐾 I am currently not working and am just using my time to study for my upcoming pharmacy board exams from home. Pet sitting would give me some excitement to look forward to in my usual day to day routine. I make sure to follow the schedule as laid out by the pets owners. I will also continue to ask questions and provide updates regarding the pets to owners.

About: About Me: Growing up on a farm, I’ve nurtured a lifelong passion for animal care, tending to dogs, cattle, horses, and goats. Instilled with a deep sense of responsibility from a young age, I learned that our animals’ needs come first—feeding and watering them was my dawn ritual. Professional Background: My 18-year tenure as a Paramedic wasn’t just about helping people; it often involved interacting with pets, from the friendly to the feisty. This has equipped me with the skills to handle any situation calmly and ensure a positive outcome. Additionally, my training in K9 first aid as a tactical medic has honed my ability to care for police service dogs in critical situations. My Approach: I bring a calm and collected presence that resonates well with animals, making it easy to bond with new furry friends. I understand the anxiety of leaving pets behind, so I’m here to alleviate your stress. With professionalism and respect, I’ll ensure your pets feel loved and secure in your absence. Personal Touch: At home, I’m a proud pet parent to Archie and Luna, two spirited dogs who love their playtime and are experts at keeping our backyard squirrel-free. They’ve taught me the joy of active companionship and the comfort of quiet snuggles. Thank you for considering me to care for your beloved pets. I’m excited about the opportunity to meet your furry family members and provide them with the same love and attention I give my own. Flexibility for Your Furry Family : My schedule is incredibly flexible, and my primary goal is to ensure quality time for your beloved pets! 🐾❤️ Additionally, I am committed to keeping my availability up-to-date to prevent any scheduling errors. You can rely on me to be punctual and attentive to your pet’s needs. 🕒🐶 Tailored Care for Your Furry Family : As a dedicated pet caregiver, I understand that every furry friend has unique needs. Whether your dog prefers leisurely lounge time or craves energetic walks and ball games, I tailor my care to match their individual requirements. But it doesn’t stop there—I’m also vigilant about weather conditions. I know when it’s too hot or cold for your dog’s comfort, and I adjust activities accordingly to ensure their safety. And speaking of safety, my biggest pet peeve is water. Clean, fresh hydration is essential for your beloved companions, and I make sure they have access to it at all times. Of course, let’s not overlook the importance of a well-balanced meal! 🐾🌟

About: I’ve also had guinea pigs and rabbits and birds and goats. I love all animals and am happy to care for them no matter what shape or size. They all deserve love and attention and as long as I have solid instructions then I got it covered and they’ll feel like they’re my own babies. I’m currently unemployed. I’m getting certified to sell insurance and am home. I have two children in pre school and elementary school and the extra money would help a lot in this transitional period. I can happily come to your home and give your animals all the love they need. I’m in an apartment so coming to my home isn’t available currently but I can do check-ins or extended stays at your home depending on what you need.
