About: I have had pets and cared for pets my entire life I have spent majority of my adult life in animal welfare such as vet clinics, rescues, boarding and daycare facilities. I have experience caring for animals of all ages and sizes such as cats, dogs, reptiles, rodents, birds, and some live stock. I also have experience with medications, behavioral issues, age and other restrictions. I currently in the off season of my job and I have a very flexible schedule at this moment in time. I can also take last minute bookings. Your pet will have any thing he or she will possibly desire with me. I’m an active person and love to go out for walks but also like a good snuggle on the couch.
About: Dog sitting in my home allows your dog to have daily attention and love. Your dog should be house potty trained. I have a partial fenced in yard which makes potty use very easy for your pet during their stay. I live on a lake so if your dog loves to swim, they will have lots of fun. Please bring your dog’s favorite toys, leash, food, dog bed, and crate if required for night sleeping. I have been around dogs my entire life and absolutely love them. I am looking forward to meeting your loving pet. I work part time at the golf course so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I’m not always available on weekends due to out of town family and friends visiting. I spend most of my time with your dog whether we are inside or outside. My goal is to keep your dog comfortable and happy.
About: Hi there! My name is Jessica Hawkins, (for some reason I can’t change the S in my name) I'm 39 years old and love animals! I know how hard it is to leave your fur baby at home for a long time. So I would love to help ease that stress with walks, feedings, or boardings! I’ve grown up with 2 dogs, a cat, and fish when I was younger. I even had three cats and a dog of my own a few years ago. I have one dog of my own now, a German Shepherd. I also have a 5 year old at home that I do bring with me wherever I go unless he is in school starting September. So I will more then likely ask if your pets gets along with kids. Just a few things I have done: -I've given dogs baths -I've clipped their nails -I go for walks with my dog and son -I've given oral medication before I would love to pet sit for you whether it's just for the day, a week, or a few hours. I’m currently a stay at home mom, so I’m almost always readily available. I do live out in the country and am only about 10min from town. So pet care wouldn’t be difficult for me to do. I have a dog of my own. He is a bit hyper but he loves to play fetch. If I’m at a clients home I’d try to do some outdoor activities, weather permitting. I play fetch with my dog and my son loves to join in, so we often do that.
About: I've taken care of dogs for over 20 years - my own, neighbors, siblings/grand dogs. I feel their energy and love and give it back. I am a retired school social worker so am very flexible with time. I love to walk and be active and if I have a pet to provide care for - my day feels more purposeful. I would care for pets in a client's home by making sure they get at least 2 walks a day and outside time morning and night. If they stayed in my home I live next to a preserve and a state park. They would get lots of outside time - even in the winter - and lots of love.
