About: A lifelong animal lover, I enjoy romping through the woods with dogs, as well as sharing their company by a burning fire. I'm a freelance writer working from my home, so your hound has a constant companion in my care. The walks help me think while letting the dog burn off some energy. I'm also willing to travel to let your best friend out on a day-to-day basis, or overnights as necessary. Your cat, should he or she stay overnight, would receive lots of attention from two teenagers and a first-grader (even if the cat is indifferent to it). Our dogs have always been part of our family, and we'll treat your pet like one of our own. We look forward to meeting you and yours.

About: Ever since being a young little girl, I have cared for dogs and they have a special place in my heart. I grew up with a yellow lab and took great care of her. As an adult I am the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends. I have watched small family farm taking care of goats, horses, dogs, and outdoor cats too. I have more experience with mid to older dogs than puppies, but I have also helped take care of puppies too. I am currently searching for a full-time position; therefore, I have flexibility for during the day for potty breaks or walks, evening care, and overnight stay at your house. I am unfortunately renting currently and have a no pet policy so I cannot board at this time. Your pet is to be treated like my own. I follow the owners lead but I love playtime, indoor or outdoor, walks by leash and harness, and cuddles and loves. I only give treats if that is what the household wants. I wish to keep the routine as similar to what the animal is used to.

About: As a seasoned Chihuahua mom and experienced dog fosterer, I have cared for over 30+ Chihuahuas (four being my own) and have been passionate about their well-being since I adopted my first Chihuahua at 19. I have a deep understanding of their unique personalities and needs, and I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional care for your furry friends. Is your pet anxious? Do they need their food bowl held while they eat? Do they prefer it heated up with a lil sprinkle of parmesan? I know a thing or two because I've seen a thing or two. My work schedule is flexible, so I'm around more than I'm not. If you choose to board while I am working, your pet will be safely secure in your chosen method (crate, play yard, bathroom etc). All come with access to food, water and a potty pad as well as any lovies or toys. Vacationers have the option to mingle with the locals or stay in their own gated suite. Meals are based on each pup's personal preferences. Hand fed, heated up, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese are just some of the perks that come with staying at Aunt Shelli's AirBnB

About: I am not your typical pet-sitter. I have spent my entire life caring for all types of animals. My first job was at a pet store learning the skills of working with animals and their people. After college I worked as a zookeeper where I cared for everything from mealworms all the way to rhinos. Specialized care was the name of the game there and I was able to recognize the smallest details on how to improve my work with exotics. Then I was led into the world of shelter work. Where I studied pet behavior and early signs of stress and how enrichment can help save lives. Many animals coming into the shelter would need some form of medication as well. I have a skillset of administering medications and making sure the animals actually receive their meds. Lastly, I was a dog training apprentice. I was able to form bonds with dogs that most people wouldn't come near. I can read body language well and know how to show dogs respect. I aim to be your go-to pet-sitter where you can actually enjoy your trip. I will make your pet my priority. I have an excellent ability to find balance in my schedule. You can trust that your pet is cared for how you want them to be. I have quite a few pets in my home and all are well cared for. I will offer the same care to the animals you care for. I will ask for detailed instructions and follow your schedule as closely as I can.

“Molly is wonderful with our Newfoundland! She sends us pictures, updates, and makes us feel comfortable. She has worked at a vet clinic and has a wealth of knowledge on all breeds. We highly recommend her!”

“I went out of town to visit my granddaughter and Beth stopped by to take care of my chickens, dogs and cats. I got her name and number from a family friend and I’m so glad I did.
