About: With over a decade of experience in animal husbandry, I care for pets of all ages and species. Iâve provided reliable pet sitting through college and now as a biology professor, handling everything from daily routines to medications and special needs. My goal is to keep your pets comfortable, happy, and cared for just as if you were home. Flexible for mornings, nights, and extended stays. I teach from morning to midday on weekdays. I usually wake up early to spend time with clientâs pets or my own and have plenty of time to work in enrichment time and meals in the evening. Itâs very important to me to provide a sense of normalcy to your pet. I may start out as a stranger but your pet and I will soon become best buds. I keep a strict schedule for check ins and they very quickly pick up that Iâm keeping with the program and this eliminates a lot of their stress. I prefer to stay in your home and stick to your walk schedule (unless youâd like a field trip to a walking trail) so that the only change they have to deal with is missing you!

âEmmie did a fabulous job watching our two needy dogs while we went on a 7 day cruise. She was very helpful and communicative and even cleaned up our little chiweenieâs potty accidents for us. I feel so lucky we found such a reliable and caring sitter who we can trust with our pets. We definitely recommend and she will be our first choice for future trips!â

âMeredith was great looking after my cat and I could tell she really cared. I was very nervous but she assuaged my fears and followed care instructions to a tee. She was very good about keeping me updated about my cat's well-being and my cat could sense she was there to help. Thanks again!â

âHaley did exactly what she was asked to do and even more. She communicated very well, provided photos and videos, dosed medications, and played with my two German Shepherds. She made me feel at ease and Iâm truly grateful. Codyâ

About: I have three dogs and a cat of my own, all of whom I have personally trained since they were adopted. One of my dogs suffered a spinal injury that resulted in the loss of mobility in her back legs. This has required me to perform regular mobility exercises with her and assist with expressing her bladder. Additionally, I have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, as one of my regular clients is a senior dog who has prepared me for all aspects of senior pet care. Regarding my availability, I schedule my pet care duties around my classes, which vary depending on the day I am needed. My availability will be posted on my profile every two weeks. While I have never boarded another animal in my home, I can provide care in my clients' homes, including feeding, playtime, and cleaning as needed.

âHard to put into words how appreciatetive I am of Christy. With her visits, and care, my Mom can concentrate on getting better and coming home from the hospital.

About: I've taken care of animals for as long as I can remember, but especially during my adult life. Cats and dogs and I even have experiencing in birds! I'm also eager to work with other animals as well (mice, rats, etc.). Your fur babies will be loved and cared for when I'm around, giving them extra love and cuddle time while you're away. Their comfort is very important to me, as is yours. I'm a part-time student at OU (feel free to ask me about my work), so my schedule is extremely flexible for whenever you need me to come over for your babies. Evenings will always be best, and I can come over at least twice a day (or three times, if needed) to check on the clients. I owned dogs for most of my life (with a fenced yard). I took them out on walks, played with them regularly, and let them out as needed. What I specialize in, though, are cats and birds. My cat demands lots of cuddles, so that's what she gets, but she also likes to play a lot. I'll be sure to accommodate whatever your precious pet needs.
