About: Your dog(s) will be able to run around and go exploring on 2+ acres of my securely fenced yard or if they prefer to take long naps by the fireplace that can be arranged as well. Your dog's individual needs will come first. I work from home so I am able to monitor them all day/night long. I grew up with a variety of animals and I worked as a vet assistant for small and large animals in the past. Taking care of animals is my passion and I believe each animal senses that and immediately feels at home. I can watch your cat(s) or other exotics as well. Ideally, I would like to help others enjoy their time off knowing their pets are having a great time. If interested, we can set up a booking with a pet photographer. I have a variety of animals on our farm that need care throughout the day. The dogs love to "help out". We stay pretty busy everyday checking on the well being of our pets. My acreage is completely fenced in. The dogs are mainly in the backyard where I can watch them at all times when outside. Inside the dogs have access to all the main rooms. I have crates set up for dogs that like to use them. There are dog beds scattered throughout the first floor so dogs can chose where they want to hang out.
About: I've grown up around animals of all kinds and have also provided care for many of them along the way. I take pride in ensuring any animal in my care is safe, happy and healthy from the day they arrive to the day they leave! (We have a female dog who we'd love to let meet more friends, if possible!) I am currently working a "choose your own shift" schedule, so I can dedicate as little or as much time as possible, to your beloved animal(s)! Schedule open to discussion, dependent on the individuals wants and needs. I have a fenced in dog park and a few walking trails where I reside. I am happy to provide walks and playtime to those in my care!
About: With years of dedicated pet care experience under my belt, I bring a wealth of expertise and a genuine passion for animals to every interaction. What sets me apart from other sitters is my versatile skill set, which encompasses everything from training puppies to providing specialized care for senior pets. I have an innate ability to connect with animals, understanding their unique needs and personalities. Whether it's administering medication with patience and care or engaging in stimulating activities to keep pets mentally and physically active, I approach every task with unwavering dedication and compassion. My extensive background in pet care has equipped me with the knowledge and intuition necessary to ensure the well-being and happiness of every furry friend entrusted to my care. I am currently helping my family take care of our Grandpa so I have plenty of time through out the day/week to help take care of your beloved animals! As a seasoned pet care professional, safety, trust, and creating a nurturing environment are paramount in every aspect of my service, whether in my own home or at a client's residence. I meticulously assess each space to identify potential hazards and implement measures to ensure the safety and well-being of the pets in my care. In my home, I provide a comfortable and secure environment tailored to the specific needs of each pet, offering designated areas for rest, play, and exploration. When caring for pets in a client's home, I maintain open communication and adhere closely to any instructions provided, prioritizing consistency and familiarity to minimize stress for the animals. Additionally, I establish a foundation of trust through attentive care and affection, fostering a positive relationship built on mutual respect and understanding. By maintaining a safe, trustworthy, and nurturing environment, I strive to provide pets with the utmost comfort and happiness during their time under my supervision.
About: I am primarily focused on getting more dog handling experience. I have volunteered at a shelter for 4 years and I have dog training experience as well. I eventually would like to train dogs as a career. I have an empty home with lots of love to give! Happy pets=peace of mind I typically work 4 days out of the week which means I have at least three days available to spend with your furry friends! I typically don’t have anything to do on my off days and I’d love to dedicate my time to your furry companion so they’re never short of love because love is what they deserve!! I currently live in a first floor apartment in the middle of the woods with scenic trails. Which means plenty of sniffs for your furry friends! I am very accommodating to your dogs needs whether that be administering medication, a soothing bath (free of charge), or sleeping with a certain toy/blanket.
About: I grew up with a sweet smooth collie and helped take care of her throughout my childhood. These days I take care of friends and families dogs while they go on vacation or just need a quick sitter for the day/night. I also have a pet chinchilla, Cheaches, that I take care of everyday :) I'm a elementary teacher, so my availability during the summer is very open. I plan to be home full time most days but things do come up. If I need to be away I will always prioritize coming back to care for the pets. I'm very comfortable with all dogs no matter the size or breed. I have handled a variety of dogs from timid to major explorers. Any instructions given to me I will happily follow. I have always had a easy time connecting with dogs! They are truly mans best friend and I understand just how much they mean to their families :)
About: I grew up with pets, and more recently I've enjoyed caring for the pets of others. I don't currently have pets of my own, so I love time with furry and feathery friends. My work is largely online and self-scheduled. That makes it easy for me to schedule my day around your pet's schedule, or spend an entire day with them! I always make sure to respect the homeowner and their process. I do my best to learn everything needed for the job, then carry out instructions to the best of my ability and reach out if I have questions.
“Morgan is great, Gavin likes her and she even walked him if weather wasn't very dry. I share my dog with my ex, so I hope next time he is with me she is available! Thanks, morgan!”
About: I am starting a new chapter in life and now choosing to care for and love on your pets in your home! They have the truest hearts!

“Thank you! Beautiful picture ? glade Bree told you about the ICE!”
About: I have had dogs since I was 10 , and I've always had a passion for them. When I was younger, I would read books about every type of dog I could get my hands on. I'll be good for your pets because I'm able to adjust to every individual need for your animals. I've watched dogs for friends and family for many years while they were on vacation. I have spent the last few years working in commercial pet care at various daycare and boarding facilities. This includes dogs, cats, birds and various small rodents. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make your dogs, and yourself as comfortable as possible. I'm happy to go on frequent walks of any duration or difficulty. I used to take one of my own dogs hiking so I'm willing and able to do whatever they are used to. I'm also happy to be at your home as frequently as you'd prefer, and I'd love to maintain open communication with you while you are away. I have also recently acquired a PACCC certification. I’m freelancing at the moment so I have an open schedule at the moment. I am available Mondays, and Wednesday - Saturday. Sundays are also available upon request. I always prefer to meet with pet parents so I can be aware of any potential safety problems in the home and when walking dogs I like to bring a secondary slip leash to use so that in case anything happens to the first leash/collar, your pet is unable to slip away from me.
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, hamsters, mice, guinea pigs, birds, geckos and more! I currently own 3 little mice, 2 silly cats (11 and 9) and 1 amazing golden retriever (6) who I have owned since she was 8 weeks old. I did all of her training and she's grown into a wonderfully well behaved girl. I am currently looking for new employment so I can completely open to care for your fur babies wether it be taking them for a walk, letting them outside to potty or just playing with them! I will treat your babies like my own! When walking I am very cautious to make sure there's no encounters with other animals. I make sure to stay off my phone and aware of my surroundings to ensure our safety. In home I am on top of keeping things away from my dog that could make her sick. I also am very cautious of allergies as my own dog has a chicken allergy I have to watch out for.
“We starting using Lori about two weeks ago and she has been great. Chelsea, our dog, loves her. The weather had been rainy windy and cold lately but she is still taking great care of her and it truly puts my mind at ease while working knowing Chelsea is in good reliable hands. ”
About: I’ve taken care of many different types of dogs, different ages, and weights! I love making sure the pets receive their best care possible! I love being able to take dogs on walks and make sure all there needs are met! I oftentimes am babysitting but love doing dog watching/sitting OR just taking your dog for a walk whenever I am free! I have quite a bit of free time to help you out with your pets needs! I will make sure that your dog is safe wherever he/she goes! When walking dogs I usually will walk them close to me with the leash being pulled up to my hip (unless requested otherwise). That way I can make sure I have your dog secure and safe!
About: I have years of experience with dogs. I know most breeds and how to train them. I worked with lots of dogs as a camp counselor at camp bow wow. I love dogs and playing with them, they are my entire life. I am available full time when ever needed. I have 3 dogs with my family in Illinois. We have a Australian Shepherd and Australian Shepherd Border Collie mix and a German Shepherd mix. I have trained them myself and I absolutely love them with all my heart. I currently have a Shollie named Puddles. He is a rescue and when I got him he couldn't even meet anyone without trying to bite them now he loves everyone. Dogs are family and you don't want someone who won't treat your dogs like they weren't a member of your family. Dogs and cats are absolutely amazing along with all animals on the planet, I love them all. I am always free at the moment because I am looking for a job. I can come by at anytime and take care of whatever your dog or pet needs! I make sure that all objects that could be a hazard to the dog are cleaned up. Follow all instructions to the tee and always have fun with the dogs!

19. Zachariah Z.
“To whom it may concern, I have never seen someone as passionate about dogs as Zachariah. My family was misinformed about my dog's breed for 11 years, and within minutes he correctly identified the breed. He started to express different character traits of the breed. The characteristics were shockingly true about my dog. He does his research to make sure he can understand everything about dogs from their instincts, character traits, looks, and proper treatment. Zachariah is the type of person that will see a dog, and his face will completely light up. He loves to take time out of his day to go up to owners to compliment their dog. He loves all dogs, and believes that they are all unique and lovable. He has stated to me that his favorite work experience was working at Camp Bow Wow, a doggy day care, due to the fact that each day he got to play and interact with dogs. It was the highlight of his day. Zachariah has three dogs as of now. His favorite activities are to run around the house chasing them, going on walks with them, and having them cuddle up on the couch with him. He had multiple dogs that he grew up with as well. He loves all of his dogs-past and present. He finds the most comfort being with dogs. Zachariah is purely passionate and knowledgeable about canines. He is trustworthy and responsible. He will be a great candidate for you. He wants to take on the opportunity to watch your dogs, and he wants to grow to love them. There's no such thing to him as not enough love to go around for dogs.”

“Audrey is such a responsible care taker of our German Shepard and little Pittie. They loved her so much! We welcome anytime she can care for our dogs again.”
