About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life, so I genuinely understand what it means to care for them as part of the family. My professional background further strengthens this passion: I've worked as a kennel technician, a vet assistant, and I'm currently a vet tech. Plus, I have experience pet sitting, so I'm comfortable stepping into that role. This means I'm not just a dog lover, but also skilled in understanding canine behavior, providing proper care, and recognizing any health needs. Your dog's safety and well-being will always be my top priority. Working in the vet industry as a vet tech allows me to spend 4-5 days a week surrounded by adorable dogs and cats. And when I’m at home, I take great care of my own fur babies too. It's clear that my love and passion for animals shines through in everything I do! Your pets' safety and well-being will always be my top priority. When I'm caring for pets in a client's home, the focus is on maintaining their familiar routine and environment as much as possible. I'll come to your home for scheduled visits or overnight stays, making sure your dogs and cats stick to their usual feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and cuddle time. This minimizes stress for them. I also take care of other household tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and ensuring the house looks lived-in for security. Again, my vet tech experience means I'm adept at spotting any health concerns, administering medications, and providing a high level of observant, compassionate care. In both scenarios, regular communication with you, including updates and photos, is a priority so you always know your furry family members are happy and well cared for.

“Always amazing to work with Deanna! She is so kind to our pets and so thorough with her work and communication.”

About: It's more about the dog than anything else so I do my utmost to make sure the "kid" is taken care of and how you expect me to do as well. I do work a full time job at the moment but I can take care of a handful pets, especially on the weekends or evenings during the week. For when I'm taking care of the pets at a client's home I make sure to follow the instructions I am given and make sure to make the doggo feel comfortable.

About: Grew up with dogs (dachshunds, German Shepard, mutts) . Have 3 grand dogs (Quinn & Archie, Jack Russells, Maggie tree hound), who I love spending time with back in Massachusetts. Unfortunately we recently lost Quinn due to age and illness. I know he is waiting at the Rainbow bridge for us along with Sasha, Truffles, Harry, Solo, Skippy, Maestra, Toi, Chichi, Heathcliff and the other birds, turtle, goldfish that I loved in the past. I miss being with them and would love to spend time with dogs again. For past 24 years have been mother to several cats who are my furry children. I understand that dogs are not just our pets, but family members that you love like children. I am also available for cat sitting, including feeding, brushing, playing, cleaning litter boxes.

About: Also work at Panacea pet resort. Love spending time with all breeds! Can handle any fur baby. Love all of them like they are my own:) Work hours may very.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was 5 years old! I’ve taken my time to learn animal behaviors and I can assure your pet will be in good hands. I have had the chance of taking care of multiple animals! Ranging from dogs, cats, goats, pigs, many kinds of birds, reptiles, amphibians and many more. Ive also taken care of many animals of many ages in life. I am mostly always free! I am a student just earning money and experience to become a future veterinarian. I have a great passion for all things animal related so I hope to have the greatest opportunity to take care of your pets! (Hablo español) (I cannot stay overnight!) I am currently a student just earning money and studying. So I am almost always free! (unless my parents planned something.) If anything comes up I will always let you know!

About: Over the past four years, I've gained extensive experience in caring for dogs. I've successfully rescued and trained Harley and temporarily fostered Snoop until finding him a loving home. It's rare for me to only have one dog in my household, as I'm often looking after a friend's dog when I'm not caring for a Rover dog. Harley and I thoroughly enjoy making new friends, especially when they're furry and four-legged. As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility and time to welcome new furry friends into my life. I am excited to offer my services for pet sitting, whether it's for dogs or cats. Your pets will receive all the attention and affection they deserve while you’re away. I can’t wait to connect with you and ensure that your pets have a fantastic experience. Let’s create some wonderful moments together—we'll have a great time! I have a spacious, fenced-in back patio that offers an inviting environment for dogs to move around freely and engage in playful activities. This area is perfect for them to stretch their legs, chase after toys, or simply relax in the sun. Additionally, there's a large fenced yard located nearby (you can check out the picture in the gallery), along with plenty of open green spaces that are ideal for enjoyable walks and playtime. I understand that each dog has its own preferences, whether they enjoy leisurely strolls around the neighborhood or prefer to stay close to home. I am committed to following your instructions and ensuring that your dog's needs are met. Under my attentive supervision, your furry friend will have the freedom to be active, explore their surroundings, and enjoy the outdoors in a safe and secure environment. For overnight stays, your dog will be accommodated in my cozy second bedroom, which is thoughtfully arranged with a comfortable daybed, a play mat, soft blankets, and a variety of toys to keep them entertained (picture in gallery) If you need any additional items or specific arrangements to make your pup feel at home, please don't hesitate to ask—I have various supplies available to ensure a delightful stay for your furry companion.

About: Hi there! I'm Vely (pronounced vee-lie) a certified positive reinforcement dog trainer and with the help of my dog loving husband Dan, we're here to give you peace of mind with the best care for your pup. We know what it's like when you need to go out of town or on vacation and you want to make an exceptional choice for your 4 legged family member(s). A place where you can ensure, your pup gets adequate exercise, fresh air, and socialization. At our home, your pup will get to roam around (supervised, of course) a 1/4 acre fenced backyard of open space. Your pup will for sure get the zoomies! Your dog will never feel alone as we have 3 dogs of our own. If your pup desires quiet time and wishes to relax away from other dogs, we have puppy gates where they can have part of the house all to themselves. We understand dogs and can accommodate to their needs. As an added bonus, our clients have always mentioned they love the quality of pictures I take for daily updates. See my photo gallery for all the smiling faces. A little about me-- I am also certified in pet first aid/ CPR. I’m currently taking a course to be a certified dog enrichment technician. On my free time I enjoy researching and gaining more knowledge about dog training and behavior. They're my passion and I will care for yours as if they're my own. I started out as a self taught positive reinforcement trick trainer. I've trained my toy Aussie and Border Collie dog sports and stunt tricks. You can see some of my work on Instagram at mr.wilson_toyaussie. As of April 2024, I’m a certified professional dog trainer specializing in puppy training, obedience behaviors, tricks, and mild reactivity. I graduated from Catch Canine Trainers Academy with honors and a mentorship with the owner of Courteous Canine. I also have experience at a grooming salon. My husband is a business owner in the car industry while working out of our home. On his spare time, he loves learning new things and hanging out at home with the dogs. On evenings and weekends you can usually find us either walking our dogs around downtown or at various parks. Bonnet Springs Park is our favorite! Please be aware of the extra charge for the holiday and puppy price. In the Services Box, click on “see additional services and rates.” **All dogs must be friendly. They don't have to engage with other dogs, but must be able to coexist peacefully with others especially large dogs with small dogs. I have separate gated areas in my home and can group dogs together by size, temperament levels, etc. depending on the dog's needs. **Please review the cancellation policy: A full refund is available ONLY if canceled by 12 PM three days before the service begins.** Dan and I are dog lovers with no kids and 3 obedient dogs. I'm usually home and Dan works out of our home so we make a great team taking care of all the pups here. We are flexible and willing to work with your schedule. We have a privacy fenced in 1/4 acre yard for plenty of exercise and room to run and sniff. I love playing fetch if your pup is into that. Your pup will always be supervised and NEVER left unattended outside. I closely monitor dog introductions and take note of their body language. If their energy levels don't match and one becomes overbearing to another, I can keep them separated in a gated area. If a dog plays too rough, I referee accordingly. My goal is to ensure all dogs are happy and comfortable during their stay. Crate trained is preferred for adult dogs, but not required as long as they are completely potty trained (1-2 accidents are fine), isn't destructive, and can stay within a gated area when needed. All puppies less than a year must be crate trained as they will be sleeping in a crate overnight for their safety. All of my dogs are crate trained, so I can put them in off mode if your pup wants his/her individual playtime. If you have any special needs or routines I will be happy to accommodate. Additional services: Dog bath: $25 (under 25 lbs), $35 (25-40 lbs) Nail grind: $15 (small-med dogs), $20 (large dogs) 30 min 'sniff walk' at the park - $10

About: I've owned and cared for all types of dogs. I've walked and cared for large and small. I've experenced easy, well trained to the most challenging. I love them all.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with animals, including training my own four dogs in potty training and basic obedience. Working from home half of the month allows me to provide constant care and attention. My patience and genuine love for animals ensure they receive the utmost care and companionship while under my watch. Whether it's puppies needing training or seniors requiring extra care, I'm equipped to handle various needs with dedication and expertise. Pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it's woven into the fabric of my day because I adore my four furry friends. Every morning starts with wagging tails and wet noses, as I feed them, take them for walks, and shower them with cuddles. Throughout the day, there are endless games of fetch, belly rubs, and treats to keep their tails wagging and their hearts happy. Their well-being is my top priority, and I make sure they feel loved and cared for every step of the way. As a hybrid employee balancing work and pet care, I dedicate 40 hours a week to my job, but my furry friends are always a priority. Fortunately, I'm home every weekend and spend two full weeks each month at home, providing ample time for attentive care and companionship. Whether it's weekdays or weekends, your pets will receive the love and attention they deserve, making them feel right at home. For boarding, your pet will become a part of our family, enjoying cozy accommodations, regular exercise, and plenty of love and attention. During dog walks, your furry friend will explore the neighborhood, stretch their legs, and receive personalized care tailored to their needs. With in-home check-ins, your pet will receive visits filled with playtime, feeding, and companionship to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away.

About: Pet sitters concentrate on the care of the pet. I , however focus on not only care but also pet behavior training , and nutritionists. Pet care is built into my daily schedule with dedicated time each morning and evening for feeding, walks, playtime, and basic care. I plan my workday around these responsibilities to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and supervision. Throughout the week, I schedule additional time for longer walks, grooming, cleaning pet areas, and monitoring overall health and behavior. I stay flexible to accommodate any special needs, medications, or changes in routine. Pet care is a regular and structured part of my routine, not an afterthought. I prioritize reliability, consistency, and the well-being of the animals while balancing other responsibilities. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In my home or a client’s home, I follow all feeding schedules, walking and play routines, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I ensure pets have fresh food and water, regular exercise, and plenty of attention and affection. I maintain a clean and safe environment by keeping pet areas tidy, securing doors and gates, safely storing food and supplies, and using pet-safe products. I closely monitor pets for changes in behavior or health and communicate updates with owners to ensure peace of mind. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, stress-free, and cared for as if they were my own while respecting the client’s home and preferences.
