About: Lots of experience with senior dogs. I’ve worked in pet stores for many years. I have 3 dogs of my own. I’m very comfortable with dogs that have allergies or have medical needs. Im new to the area and im working as a hairstylist while I build A clientele thought this would be a fun way to spend my time. Follow all care instructions and give plenty of updates. Including adorable photos. Making sure the pet gets plenty of time to potty and stays hydrated and fed if needed.

About: I have trained and taken care of puppies older and younger puppies also have taken care of Senior dogs making sure they get all the nutrients and tender loving care that they deserve I work part time at a job and have most of my days available and work during the nights meaning that I am a night shifter so I am available during days I care for pets how I would care for my children making sure they have plenty of food and water and make sure they feel safe and loved

About: Throughout my life I have cared for two cats and a Bichon-Frise/Poodle Mix. I was involved in caring for my dog from the day he came to us: showing him how to use stairs within those first couple of days and teaching commands for the next couple of years. Inevitably he aged, and over time I developed a familiarity with handling the many facets of caring for an aging dog: arthritis, anxiety, mobility challenges, and mood shifts. I learned the tricks for keeping him calm in the car, and those for getting him to take his medications. In all those years I consistently played with him in our fields, took him for walks, and ignored his grouching when I bumped him in his sleep. I love all animals very much, but as an innately energetic person, and as someone who is convinced (like most) that I had the best dog in the world, I find I bond most quickly and most deeply with dogs. I would be thrilled to meet yours. I am a recent college graduate looking for work while I job search. During the day I apply to jobs on my computer. Then, at night, I apply to jobs on my computer. My schedule is almost entirely open. In general I do my best to follow the pet's pace/lead, prioritizing the animal's comfort whenever possible. I follow provided schedules in a regimented manner, and if a schedule is not provided, then I will develop one myself. I take things like medication management and potty breaks very seriously, aware that when an owner is gone, pets are often stressed, and this stress can exacerbate pain and/or behavioral struggles. Regardless of the weather I am always happy to move and be active, so regular walks/exercise with pets is no trouble. As a pet lover, quality time is never an inconvenience either. I am more than thrilled, if your pet is more of a lounger than a runner, to just sit with them and relax.

“Leaving for any extended amount of time always has me worrying about my fur kids. Morgan has left me at ease, relieved every time I arrive back home. She tends to them, loves them like her own, sends me the greatest updates and photos. 💚💚🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ Highly recommend. 💯”

About: I have always loved taking care of animals of every kind and I have been doing it for forever. If you let me take care of your pet, they will be loved and cherished and you will have a trustworthy and respectful person in your home. I am currently a college student so I am hoping to work with your pets on my breaks at home. On breaks or weekends I will be over to see your pet regularly and I will make sure each pet is well taken care of. That means working them into my daily routine. At your home, I am putting your pet and your house first. I will clean, take care of and watch anything you need me to while you give me permission to be at your home with your pet. No matter what I will make sure your house is taken care of and your pet is comfortable around me.

“Karen did an excellent job letting out dogs out during the day and playing with them so we didn’t have to worry about them. I would 100% recommend her- she was easy to communicate with and did a great job!”

About: I grew up around dogs and have often been tasked with dog sitting, walking, playing, basically anything. Most of my family are dog people, and I was in charge of a lot for my childhood dog. I work nights, so I’m available during those busy days when you can’t find the time! I’m the perfect flexible carer during this hectic summer. I am incredibly respectful in spaces that aren’t my own, and while I can’t currently welcome your fur babies into my home, I’m comfortable in new environments and taking the pups for a walk anywhere!

About: I've worked as a vet assistant, at a pet store, volunteered at a animal shelter and have been dog training, grooming, walking and pet/dog sitting for years. This is what I do for work so I am able to be with your sweeties as much as possible! Feel free to reach out to me! I always monitor and take as best care of them possible. Excercise when they need, rest when they need, potty, food etc. if your pets have a schedule I'll stick to it. If not well then tell me what you'd like and call it done!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, at one point we had 10. I’ve taken dog sat for many people in my church and in our neighborhood. I am currently a freshman at Trine University, so afternoons are best for me! I typically get out of class at 1 pm Monday-Friday. Thursdays I am completely free. I have a wood fenced yard that my two dogs play in and have plenty of space to roam. I can easily care for your dog if they have any special needs that need to be met.

“Thank you so much Michelle! I had a wonderful time on a boat with my family, and the peace of mind knowing our dogs were tended to by such a nice and caring persons!! Your pictures are great, I really appreciate you coming into the campground, I know that is above and beyond!!”

“Chrissy did a wonderful job when she stopped in to take care of Junie while I was out. She gave her all of her pills (which is not always easy) and food, and took her outside to potty. She also sent me pictures. Chrissy is dependable and very nurturing with my elderly dog Junie.”

About: I have taken care of my household dogs, cats, and bird since I was 6 years old. I started watching family members animals when I was about 13 years old, giving me 5 years of experience with pet care. I grew up on a saddlebred farm, so I am very used to taking care of all types of animals. I am also very used to giving medication to dogs. I am a current college student at the University of Alabama and take classes from 10 am to 2 pm. However, I am dedicated to taking care of your animals and will prioritize them after my classes are over. During pet sitting I will walk, feed, and make sure your dog has water before I leave for class, and then come straight back to the house to walk your dog again. When I am pet/house sitting I will follow your guidelines on feeding times and rules. When it comes to walking I will ensure they will get a lot of outside time whether that includes letting them outside to play in the backyard, or taking them on several walks throughout the day. When I am overnight pet sitting I walk them at least once at night.

“Judith did a fantastic job taking care of my cats. She really loves animals and it shows. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her again to watch my cats.”

“Leah did a wonderful job making sure Munchie and Oreo were fed and watered daily per our request. Munchie enjoyed having some extra pets while we were on vacation. Over all we are very pleased with the service Leah provided. We will use again for our next extended vacation”

“Elizabeth stopped by to let my two dogs out while I was traveling for work. They both took to her immediately! I felt so much better knowing they would be able to get some play-time in while my husband was at work and I was gone. The pics she sent during her visits made my day. I wouldn't hesitate to trust her to watch my fur-babies again. Thank you Elizabeth!”

“Barbara was FANTASTIC!! I strongly recommend her. My fiance and I went to Florida for our spring break and I was scrambling to find someone to watch my dog and chickens. When I reached out to Barbara, she was quick to respond and set up a meet and greet right away. She took care of Lester AND my chickens (she let the chickens out in the morning and closed the coop at night). She came to my house twice a day. Her price per visit is very reasonable and she does more than what's expected. Most importantly, she takes a ton of pictures!! Seeing pictures morning and afternoon of my dog and chickens eased my mind and made me happy. She's GREAT with animals and is very experienced. She knows what she's doing and has a kind/loving personality. Next time I go out of the state, I will definitely use her as my sitter. Hands-down. Thanks Barbara!! Hope you'll continue doing this.”

About: I've taken care of 3 golden retrievers, for decades. I have a dog ramp, dog treats, leashes, toys, and like our furry friends to have a very comfortable and fun time. I've taught dogs to hold food on their nose, roll over, play hide and seek. It's been fun. My schedule is quite flexible. Willing to consider anything. I am a musician and as such have open day hours most of the time. Walking dogs, checking on them, letting them out, taking them to the vet, playing with them, it's all good. I have a basement which is uncarpetted and warm, a very big yard with very minimal traffic , a local park, and 2-4 housemates who all like and own dogs.

About: I was born into a family of pet lovers. We have had a wide array of pets in our home-cats, dogs, lizards, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish and more. I have become my church and friends' go-to pet sitter for years. I not only provide the love and care that pets need, I am also a licensed pet massage therapist, so your pet will get extra love! I am self-employed, so my schedule varies and is very open for providing top notch pet care. My day is better when I am able to provide love and care for animals! I provide pet care in your home and am able to work with your pet(s) specific needs and schedules. I want them to feel as unaffected by your absence as possible!
