About: I have had pets my whole life and love them. All fur babies are dear to my heart. I will take care of them just like they were my own. Let me help you take care of them Newly retired and located to Joplin MO. My schedule to open to fit your needs. I am very active so meeting your needs are not a problem for me. Looking forward in speaking with you. Thank you so much. Looking forward in assisting you with your fur babies in your home. Home is where they feel the most comfortable. Let me help you out.
About: I’ve taken care of many of my friends dogs and I recently got a dog of my own. My friends have trusted me to care for their fur babies by walking, feeding and playing with their pets My schedule is completely open at this time. After getting my kids off to school at about 7:30 I have the entire day free to assist with any pet needs. I am always very careful in someone else’s home, I ensure the pets area is tidy before leaving and I like to make sure they are comfortable. When in my home I have designated areas for play and relaxing!
About: I’ve got a house full of pets myself (dogs and cats), so I know how much peace of mind it brings to have someone trustworthy looking after your furry family. Whether your pet is full of zoomies or just wants a cuddle buddy, I’ve got you covered. I’m super easygoing, responsible with animals, and happy to follow whatever routine your pet is used to. I’ll treat them like one of my own — with lots of love, attention, and treats (if allowed, of course). I also love sending photo updates, so you’ll never feel too far away. Let me know what your pet needs.. I’m here to help. I work part-time over the weekends, so I’m available anytime during the weekdays. If an emergency comes up and you need a sitter last minute, I can respond to overnight requests and help out when needed. I’m very flexible and will do my best to accommodate both your and your pet’s needs, ensuring you feel confident and at ease. When caring for pets in their own home, I stick to their regular routine, whether it's feeding, playtime, or naps. I make sure they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar surroundings, offering plenty of attention and affection while respecting their space.
About: I grew up feeding and caring for strays. I've had several "fur babies" since 1987 and have done part time pet sitting professionally since 2006. I am very flexible with scheduling but would prefer reliability in scheduling of clients on my calendar, since I maintain a regular part time job. I would be more than excited to come and care for your fur babies. I've been Mom to an elderly blind dog and am currently Mom of two spoiled felines. I don't charge extra for unconditional love.
About: i love animals so much!! i have had pets every since i was born and was raised to help take care of them! i love both cats and dogs equally (maybe cats a little more lol) i work part time right now so i have a very open schedule. i will have more time open up in the summer as well:) if your animals need certain requirements i’m happy to help! including if they need medications, or have a certain diet! i can walk them and/or take them to dog park.
