House Sitting in Jasper

About: I’ve worked in a veterinary clinic for 7 years and have lived with animals my entire life. I work with cats and small to medium dogs but I’m not opposed to bigger dogs. All ages are accepted. I have experience in grooming/bathing, administering oral and injection medications, and wound care/bandaging. I have a part-time job but I make sure your pets take priority. I’m currently working part time and taking online college classes, however my schedule is always flexible for your pets. I keep my calendar updated regularly for your convenience. While I have a concrete schedule for my animals, I am very flexible and will never do anything regarding your pets without asking you first. I will ask you questions before starting services and will keep you updated throughout the entire process. While I am at your home, I am happy to take your pets on walks, pick up mail, water plants, and I will always pick up after myself. I will not go anywhere that is not permitted and will care for your pets like they are my own.

“Shania was great! She sent me pictures everyday and told me how Leia was doing. She seemed to have a great time with Shania and her daughter. If I need a sitter again, she is my choice! Thanks so much”

About: I have cared for and had pups and cats since I started elementary school, but I picked up the bigger responsibilities with caring for critters around age 15. I have three labs, (ages four, three and two), one cat and a fish. My two females have each had a healthy litter of ten puppies that I cared and found homes for! I am very attentive to my animals and their needs and even more so to other creatures. I currently work as a dog groomer and boarding technician which has given me knowledge on many different temperaments of pups and techniques on how to uniquely tend to them while having safety and care as top priority. Caring for my animals is weaved into my daily routine. I wake up early enough to tend to my pups before my kids wake up to ensure everyone’s needed are met. Depending on the weather we typically have afternoon playtimes or walkies or we will have some water play to end a hot day. Checking water/feed, refreshing water and feed, bath and brushing, and administering medications are all just a part our normal routine list at home for our critters. for in-home visits I am prepared to accompany your animal in any weather and follow through with what your pet is accustomed to. The comfort and safety of your animal is most important. I have emergency numbers for vets and contacts to assist me in an emergency situation (choking, wound, any current illnesses like seizures, etc). Saying that I am NOT a licensed veterinarian.

“Tausha stayed five nights with my dogs. She sent pictures several times and assured me they were doing well. She also did laundry, loaded and ran the dishwasher! The house was neat and orderly when I returned.”

About: I have owned dogs before I could even read. I have always loved dogs and have cared for a large variety of dogs, whether that be age, size, gender, or breed. I have such a love for dogs, I’ve considered becoming a dog trainer ever since I was a child. I’m not currently working, so I’m very flexible with reservations. Just let me know ahead of time and I can be very flexible with you! I remain consistent in their daily routines, especially for potty breaks. I am a huge advocate for positive reinforcement training, so I will make sure the dogs are recognized for doing good.

“Makayla communicated quickly and sent pics/videos of my girls while treating them with kindness. We will definitely be using her services in the future.”

About: I love have had pets all my life. From living on a farm when I was younger with cows, dogs, cats, and chickens to now where I have 2 wonderful fur babies. I've been in healthcare for over 20yrs. I enjoy taking care of others, and giving piece of mind. I know how anxious I am when I can't be there for my doggies, so I wold definitely keep that in mind with your animals in my care. I work 3 days a week, so I have plenty of spare time to spend with your fur babies . I have a flexible schedule, but I know my schedule weeks in advance. I have lots of room in my home, and there is no place my dogs CANT go. They are allowed on the furniture, and so would your pets. If I am watching your pets in your home then I would treat your home as if it was my own.

About: Not only have I taken care of my fur pups, I frequently watch my family & friends pets when needed. I love meeting new fur babies and would love to help you! I have a very flexible schedule! I am always willing to make time to help! I currently make my own hours at my regular job. I have a energetic husky who loves to play! He thinks everyone is is his friend(: Me and ziggy live a very active life but we also love to just relax at home!

“Destanee was super kind and communicated with us while watching our anxious doggo, Ollie. She sent us updates and asked questions when needed!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 5 and I’ve loved it ever since. I’ve had owned many dogs and cats. I’ve helped with pets of all ages, from tiny babies to sweet seniors. I’m going to school for animal behavior and care because animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I love making sure they’re happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Right now, I am going to school online for my bachelors while working! Pet care is the perfect way for me to stay busy doing something I love while also helping people out. It fits into my routine really well right now because I have the time and flexibility, and it gives me experience for my future career with animals. It’s a win-win, I get to be around pets and give them the love and care they deserve while I’m in this in-between stage. When I’m caring for pets in someone’s home, I treat it like my own, with a lot of respect and care. I always follow your instructions closely because every pet has their own routine and comfort zone. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s sticking to their feeding schedule, giving meds, or just keeping them company, I focus on creating a calm and happy environment. I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home, and I don’t take that lightly.

“Layne did an amazing job watching my fur babies! She communicated with me regularly and sent pictures! I will definitely use her again!!!!”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a kid! I absolutely love pets and have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I can help with potty training, crate training, and obedience training. I will also send pictures and videos for peace of mind because everyone deserves that! I treat everyone’s animals like I would treat my own. I can’t wait to help you all with your pets. I currently clean homes for a living. I’m home a lot and could watch anyone’s pets whenever. I also have a husband who can help and a 7 year old kiddo who loves pets and would love your animals like her own. I have a fenced in yard and 2 fur babies to keep your animals company. We can also crate your fur baby if needed or ours no problem.

About: I’ve taken care of not only pets but animals that needed help since I was little. I no longer have pets but I’d love yours!! I have a very flexible schedule! I’m open any day of the week at any time, just need to know in advance!! Let me know! I love animals and respect! (Also a big car to fit lots of fur babies for fun adventures! 😉) You, your animals, and items are safe with me! I value safety and fun, I will do everything in my power to make sure your babies are not only enjoying their time in my care but are also safe and sound!

About: I’m an animal science major with lots of different animal experience! I foster with local shelters, extern at a local veterinary office, and pride myself in research/care I’ve taken with my own animals and others. I’m currently a full time student MSU. Most of my classes are first thing in the morning, then I’m available for the rest of the day. I have a completely fenced 1 acre yard with 3 personal dogs who are completely used to new interesting dogs from previous fosters. I kennel all of my dogs and all meals are given separated. No animal in my house is left alone together unsupervised.
