“I am always at ease when Karlie takes care of my dogs while I travel for work! She is reliable and leaves a detailed dog report card (: my dogs love her!”
“She did a wonderful job caring for my sick and yet very energetic husky. Super nice woman and a very good caretaker. My husky threw a temper tantrum when she saw me walk through the front door instead of Farra 😂”
“Caitlin did awesome with our boys who are known to be a bit on the wilder side. She took great care of them and updated us lots! I’ll definitely request she watch them again if we need it.”
About: I grew up showing great danes in 4h. I have over 10 years working with a certified animal behaviorist and am certified as a trainer through him. I'm working part time over the summer as I'm home from college and would love to make this my full time deal! I work at farmer's markets Saturday and Sunday but am fully available Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Weekend afternoons are also open for fury fun! I take animal health and wellbeing seriously. If you have specific requirements for your friend, I am more than happy to oblige. Getting every animal the care it needs is my #1.
“Lance was patient and very considerate of our dog Ozzy who was more challenging that our girls Luna and Nova. He communicated very well with us and updated us on how our puppers were doing. Very happy with how he cared for them. Will definitely book him again.”
About: hello! I am an animal enthusiast with a special affinity for training dogs and caring for orphaned animals. i currently have a Rottweiler, 4 cats, and 4 pet mice. I worked as a kennel technician at a veterinary clinic for over a year. later, I got the opportunity to learn to groom dogs and I have fallen in love with the art! I work alongside Kassi Solander at The Paw Spa so you can see me there as well! I would be available anytime you should need me to care for your pet while you're away! I understand the stress of worrying about your pet while on vacation ;) I would like to go above and beyond caring for your pet. with my veterinary clinic experience, I would be able to identify problems quickly.
About: I have owned a dog for as long as I can remember. I’ve had numerous breeds of dogs over my lifetime. I’m new to being a cat owner as I have had a fear of cats since I was a kid. I do work full-time so I would primarily be available on weekends. I could pet sit during the week in the evenings after 5 pm. I have a very large open yard. I prefer to leash a dog and walk them around my yard until they become familiar with it since it’s not fenced in. I have two small dogs that I share custody of but they are friendly and my roommate has a cat that will probably hide while your animal is there lol! My neighbors have a dog but she is in a big dog run. I’m open to pet sitting at my house or your house whichever you and your pet are more comfortable with!
