About: I’ve been around all sizes of dogs since I was born and I only want to give them the very best lives possible. I’ve been training my golden doodle/great pyrenees mix (Oakley) as a therapy dog since I’ve had him but he was recently severely injured, paralyzing the back half of his body, so I did passive range of motion, took him on walks with a harness on the back of his body, stimulated his paw nerves, stretched him out, manually expressed him, and tried my best to give him all the love I could until he eventually was able to walk again. About a month of this and he can now walk and function normally (with a wobble and some additional clumsiness) but I’m thankful for his health every single day and this has helped me become more in tune with what he needs and how best to support and care for dogs. I work at a local coffee shop so my hours are very flexible and I work fairly short hours so there’s always a point in the day when I’m free. I always try to get a certain amount of steps, so walking and taking care of dogs is perfect for me. We have a large yard perfect for running and I take my dogs out on leashes for walks and we have a pond in our backyard to walk around.

“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: 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.

“Brooklyn was flexible and easy to work with. I will certainly look for her again next time. We met prior to her scheduled walking of my Pomsky, Razia to give her access to my apartment and discuss details. She is very nice and professional. Thanks, again!”

“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!

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 had pets all of my life and have taken care of them since I was 8. I love being outside and spending time with animals. I have lots of energy and previous experience with drop in visits! I am a full time online college student at baker college, so I have a very flexible schedule to take care of your pets! I have a reliable vehicle that allows me to check in on your pets when needed. I keep things simple, I follow your pet’s normal routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I stick to your instructions, keep the space clean, and treat your pet like they’re my own. I send updates so you always know they’re doing well!

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

“Breanna was amazing! My dog is a puller & she had no issues walking him! She helped me out last minute & was very communicative. If i wasn’t moving, I’d book her again!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 13. I have a puppy of my own who lovesss to socialize. I love to go on walks and car rides and go the park and can’t forget Starbucks and puppicinos. Taking dog and cat naps are cool too! I currently work 3 days a week so I have a lot of free time . I also am willing to work with pet parents on certain availabilities if needed. I have a fur baby who I usually take to the park , I only have a front yard , so we like to go to nice parks with bigger spaces to walk and run around !

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: 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 love animals! Dogs are my favorite, especially big dogs! Their love is unconditional so I try to match their excitement to meet a new person they wanna love! 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: Over the years of my life I have kept and raised every type of animal you can think of. Animals are a huge passion of mine and I love and adore all types and sizes from a tiny Chihuahua to a great dane. My family also owns and runs a travelling zoo which I help out with here and there so I also have experience from working that also. I love all breeds and I'm not afraid of any of them. I currently myself have 3 dogs and 19 lizards and 2 birds plus fish. I've always wanted to work with animals and I feel this would be a better opportunity than working at the animal shelter because I get more hands on this way. I'm currently not working so that gives me plenty of time to be available to work with your pets and give them what they need. I can not have extra animals in my home but I can definitely care for any animal of any size inside thier own home where they can be comfortable.

“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’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.
