About: Just starting my experience taking care of animals. I love animals and pets and have a cat and dog of my own. I am very responsible and patient and ready for any challenge. It will be just me attending to the pets. I work in retail but have many free days and half days off due to recently graduating. Many mornings or nights work for me if they align with my schedule. I have a dog who I take care of with my mom, we take him out multiple times daily and also have a grass pad for him inside just incase, we also have a cat we take care of who has a litter box that I clean daily and both pets get wet food and dry food everyday and water. We spend plenty of time daily with each pet and play with them plenty aswell. I’m very patient and don’t mind cleaning up any messes.

About: I have taken care of dogs from puppies to seniors my whole life. I love playing with them and treating them as my own you can never get enough of those puppy eyes. Each day begins with a morning routine that includes feeding, providing fresh water, and a brief health check to ensure the pets are in good condition. This is followed by exercise sessions, such as walks or playtime, tailored to each pet's energy level and requirements. Throughout the day, I allocate specific times for additional activities like grooming, training, or socialization, depending on the pet's needs. I also maintain a detailed schedule to track feeding times, medication administration if necessary, and any special instructions provided by the pet owners. Weekly routines include more thorough cleaning of living spaces, restocking supplies, and reviewing any changes in the pet's behavior or health that may require adjustments in care. By maintaining open communication with pet owners, I ensure that their expectations are met and that their pets receive the highest standard of care. This organized approach allows me to balance pet care responsibilities effectively within my overall schedule. Before sitting, I always have a long conversation with the owners to find out everything their furry pet needs. then I make sure they have exercise or good food medication’s if needed if crate training is needed as well and more.

About: I have such a love for animals. I speak to them at all times, even when they’re passing by with their humans and I just tell the animal to have a great day. They make me so very happy, and I love to make them happy. I have 2 cats of my own and 5 niece and nephew dogs I have cared for and spoiled rotten for many years. I don’t get tired of playing, feeding, singing, or walking animals. I have just left a very emotionally draining job, caring for elderly humans and ensuring their happiness is always met. Now I’m ready to start fresh and have free time to care for your (furry) loved ones and ensure they are happy and healthy. I am comfortable caring for pets however they (and you) are comfortable with our visits. Their wants and needs is what’s important to me, and I will do my best to do what is needed.

About: Animals have been my love since a young age. Most of my career and volunteer work have been revolving around animals of different species. I've worked for several years in this field group to learn and understand animals along with their different needs. I know how to read body language and what signs to look for if sick. I've worked at a pet store for a few years and a shelter, I as well have some experience at vet clinics. I also have experience with professional dog bathing. I myself have an assortment of different animals I take care of daily; ranging from cats, dogs, reptiles, and small animals. My goal is to help and educate pet parents when I can while making sure they're animals get the best care. Safety will always be my first priority every time. The well-being of your pet is very important to me. Knowledge about your pet, medicine and/or behavior wise, is a great way for me to stay alert on those certain concerns. Your pet will always be taken care of properly and made sure to stay in a safe happy environment.
