About: Hi there! My name’s Jordan, and animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently share my home (and couch!) with 2 energetic dogs and 3 hilarious, personality filled cats. They’re not just pets to me, they’re family. Growing up with animals taught me the importance of patience, playtime, and knowing when a belly rub or a quiet cuddle is exactly what they need. Whether your pet is high-energy and loves fetch or a shy cuddle bug who just wants some company, I take the time to understand their unique personality and needs. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, so I do everything I can to make the experience stress free for both you and them. I treat every animal I care for like one of my own, because I know how much love they bring into our lives. Let’s make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away! I'm fortunate enough to work from home so i'm always available and easy to contact. I will be 110% devoted to your animals and I will make my schedule fit around your needs. I do not offer boarding because i'm currently living on the Warren Airforce Base BUT, I can assure you that your home, dogs, and belongings will be protected and taken care of.

About: I have taken care of so many different dogs and cats and other pets since I was 10 years old. I have watched for friends and family and really enjoy spending time with pets. I work on reduced time at amazon so I work on Sundays, Monday and Tuesdays and then on thursdays and fridays I work at a dog boarding facility. I take care of pets in the clients home just because my dogs don't get along with other pets. But I give the pets 24 hour love and attention. I love taking dogs on walks and playing fetch with them. I also love when the dogs sleep with me at night. I can also take care of pets that have medications too.

About: I currently have 2 dogs and have had dogs my whole life. Both of my dogs are very high energy so I am used to keeping them busy. My male dog is 3 years old and he requires a lot of love and attention. He is great with kids and other animals. My female dog is 6 years old and she's a very anxious girl. She prefers to be the only pet but is extremely affectionate with people. I have experience with small and large dogs from puppy to elderly. I am comfortable feeding, grooming, walking, and caring for your pets. My availability is flexible. I am willing to stay at the owners home so the dogs feel safe in a familiar area. I am available for daily walks or extended stays. I have experience with special feeding and medication routines for pets if needed. I also have experience caring for more than one pet in the same home that are on different schedules or need to be kept away from another pet in the home. I will treat you fur baby like my own and they will be well cared for! I'm currently in the process of going back to school so I am not working a scheduled job right now. My availability is flexible. I'm available for daily check ins and walks. I'm also available for extended or overnight care throughout the week and all weekend. I will do all of my care at the client's home per the client's instructions on their pets needs and will provide care in the way the client specifically wants their pet cared for.

I always keep notes with your normal routine with your pet as well as any other information I need to know while caring for them. Before caring for your pet(s) I like to spend some time with them during a meet and greet because it is extremely important to see how your dog or cat responds to me before I am hired to care for them. Being a dog mom myself I would want to see how my dog responds to someone before I made the decision to hire them. Your pet(s) safety, comfort and wellbeing are my top priority when caring for them!

Originally I had Jordan walk my husband's dog a few times a week. But after seeing how happy the dog was when he played with him I decided to ask if he would be kind enough to watch them for a few days while we traveled. He said he would love to and the rest was history! My husband's dog has never bonded with someone so quickly, I highly recommend Jordan for any services he offers on here, he's such a sweet & thoughtful young man.

Without a doubt, Katie is the greatest pet sitter you could find. She is compassionate, trustworthy, knowledgeable and has an amazing bond with every dog she comes in contact with, instantly. She is the only person I trust with my fur baby and I would recommend her to anyone. May this testimony bring you the peace of mind and comfort you were seeking in regards to choosing the right fit for your family. With Katie, you’ll be able to relax knowing that there is someone to care for / love / of your fur babies when you are unable.

About: I have experience with all kinds of pets. From reptiles, felines, and mixed breed pups, to Pit Bulls and German Shepherds. I love them all 🫶🏾 I work from home for a minimal contact tech company. After my little ones leave for school at 8:30 AM, my schedule is completely flexible. We miss having fur babies around and will treat them as part of our family. I have mild mannered boys 8 and 6 that love nature and animals.

Jason is a good friend and has been incredible with my partner and mine two dogs Milo and Coco. Jason has a real beautiful soul and the dogs totally see it too. He is patient and gives each one the care that they need while he entertains them cheerfully. He's taken care of them on multiple occasions and we plan on having him take care of them while we are gone for a whole month. We have no doubt with his capabilities and you should not doubt it too.

You are getting the best care possible for your fur babies with Shelbie! I was so nervous to leave our three dogs, 2 cats, fish and chickens for our honeymoon but Shelbie took care of everything! She is caring and professional at the same time! We had her stay at our house for 12 days and the house was spotless and I don’t think my pets even missed me! She is the BEST!

About: I am a responsible and dependable 25 year old and I have cared for all sorts of animals; like rabbits, gerbils, birds, dogs and cats. I am a huge animal lover! To me they aren't just pets they are family. I have cared for family members fur babies and love doing it! I'd love to have the opportunity to care for your fur baby! I am currently working part time. I only work Thursday evening and Saturday mornings. I will have plenty of time to love and care for your little pup! I live in a camper with my husband and 2 dogs on my parents property in a quiet subdivision with 2 acres of land that all 4 of our dogs love to play on. There is even a park about 5 minutes from my house. Our home is a great place to let your dog be a dog. Our dogs are very friendly dogs. They may bark a bit at first, but once they settle down they become fast friends with everyone. When we introduce other dogs to our dogs we always make sure that they all are secured with a leash to prevent any possibilities of harm to any of our fur babies.

Kevin has taken care of our pitty mix several times. She is crazy about him and always wants to go with him when she sees him. She loves to go for walks and/or rides with him. He treats her as part of the family. We will always feel comfortable allowing him to watch her.
