Dog Sitting La Plata

“She took excellent care of our chickens while we were away. She was always prompt and on time, and it was clear that she was experienced with chicken care. Our chickens can be easily startled, but she handled them well and everything went smoothly. She did a great job cleaning the coop and kept us updated throughout our trip. She was also quick to respond to any questions we had and communicated very well. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable chicken care, and I will definitely book her again in the future.”

About: I've always loved being around animals and enjoyed making them feel comfortable and safe. People always warn me about their pets before I meet them saying they may do too much of this or that but it truly would never bother me at all. I adore animals, especially dogs, and I've even had my own dog to take of as well. I would be taking classes over the summer, but they're asynchronous so the work load is no rush and because of that I feel like I would have plenty time to take care of any pets if needed. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their usual environment. I follow any instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, and house rules. During visits and walks, I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and make sure they're getting plenty of attention and care. I also make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos whenever possible.

“Leann was great! She was very flexible and worked with our schedule. I felt extremely comfortable having her check in on and take care of our puppy.”

“Needed someone to come do a drop in visit for our 4 month old pup as my husband and I have to return to in office work once a week. Shannon has been a tremendous help and completely understanding with our young puppy still learning social skills.

About: Growing up with dogs all my life along with my animal science major I well versed in medication routines, early morning to late night potty breaks, special dietary needs to the ones who have been loved past their youth and need a little extra care. I’ve been bit, scratched, slobbered and thrown up on and there is nothing too much to handle I’m working part time at a restaurant however I am more than willing to make time during off days for your fur-babies, walks and regular exercise, quick check ins and long stays I will make time to do. Pets are watched closely, mostly nearly medication administration and meal time. If desired I can feed at specific times and can adapt a medication schedule periodically for any and all fur babies.

“Trina helped us check in on our cat, and responded promptly to my request. She’s professional, courteous, and maintained communication throughout the whole process. She gave our cat some treats, food, checked on her water, and most importantly she gave her some love 😻. My cat enjoyed Trina’s company and was PURRRing on the phone !🧡 Trina was kind enough to offer to check in on my backyard hens when I mentioned that I was little worried about them too. We appreciate all your help and the peace of mind you gave us while we’re away. 🙏”

About: I’ve been passionate about animals my entire life, and I’ve had the joy of caring for a wide variety of pets over the years. From my very first fish and family cats to now raising three wonderful dogs and my beloved cat, Willow, I’ve developed a deep love and understanding of animals. With years of hands on experience, I know how to provide pets with the attentive, loving care they deserve. I also have recently started the Vet Assistant program at CSM to help further my career in animal care. Whether it’s feeding, grooming, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own. With an open and flexible schedule, I’m excited to finally pursue my true passion, working with animals. I have over 6–8 years of experience in pet care and pet sitting, and I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, from snakes, rabbits, and newborn kittens and puppies to farm animals like pigs, goats, chickens, ducks, and geese. I am also pursuing a career in veterinary medicine! Whether I’m pet sitting or simply helping an animal in need, I do it out of genuine love and compassion. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands, I’ll treat them like family. All of my pets are fed twice a day with portions based on their weight, and grooming is a regular part of our routine. My biggest dog gets bathed as often as he’ll let me, and the others are brushed regularly because of their long fur. My cat gets her weekly brushing too, and I clip claws as needed! While I don’t need to walk my dogs since we have a fenced yard with a doggy door, I still love taking them on walks around the neighborhood. And of course, playtime is a daily must because let’s be honest, who doesn’t love that?

“Demmi took good care of my two pups. She kept me informed with what was going on with my fur babies. Also, my American pit bull mix was a little shy and she was patient and gentle, helping her to warm up.”

About: If requesting for dog walking services I can provide leash training and basic obediance if requested. I am comfortable with specific schedules and administrating medication. Hello my name is Christa, we are a military family. I was in the Navy for 7 years and my husband is currently stationed in Indian head. In the past we have owned a dachshund and a westie, so they hold a special place in our hearts, but we love all dogs. In our house your dog will be one of the family. We will give them all the love and snuggles! Must be good with children. I have a 1yo and 4yo. They are very gentle with animals but will still get in their face and want to pet them. We only watch one dog at a time. I am a stay at home mom so your pet will get lots of attention and frequent potty breaks. We also like to go on walks when the weather is not too hot. I usually bring a wagon, incase anyone gets tired. My husband is a couch potato. All dogs love him and are usually snuggling up on the couch with him in the evenings. I currently stay home with my daughter full time so we have all the time to give your fur babies the attention and love they deserve with frequent walks and love. We like to go for many walks around our neighborhood. Our neighborhood is quiet and has many walking trails nearby. We do not go out if the weather is too hot.

“Brooke was an angel the entire time we interacted with her, and it was very clear that she loves and cares for animals. She loved our senior deaf dog and our needy kitty as her own, and cared for them exactly as they needed to be cared for. She sent us pictures and videos and we know our animals - they were happy. She even followed up with me the following day after her service was done since I hadn’t yet replied to her final note about our babies, just to make sure we got home safe in case we might ask her to go back to our house. We were gone for 3 days and she was always on time and gave the animals what they needed. We didn’t have to worry at all, which is an amazing feeling as a pet owner (as we all know.) We appreciated her so much and feel a great deal of comfort knowing we can trust our house and our fur babies are incredibly taken care of while we’re away. Thanks Brooke!”

About: With years of experience, I pride myself on being a sitter who listens closely to both you and your pet’s needs, and have an understanding of how dogs behave and communicate. I've had dogs my entire life, and grew up on a farm around all kinds of other animals too. My husband has had similar experiences, as his father was curator at several zoo's from Philadelphia to Seattle. I take the time to understand your preferences and ensure I provide care exactly how you want it. My own fur babies get walked daily and spend a lot of time outdoors, but are also used to staying in and having a chill weekend. I’m responsible, attentive, and detail-oriented, always ensuring your pets needs are handled in whichever way you prefer. I respond promptly to any questions or concerns and maintain open communication throughout. Rest assured, your pet will be treated with the same love and respect you give them, making their time with me both enjoyable and stress-free. I'm available Friday afternoon to Sunday evenings and will pick up and drop off your pet if needed. If your dog can handle being alone for the work day 7am-4pm week I am available to care for your dog during the week as well. I can schedule meet & greets in the afternoons. on most weekdays. I have a fenced in yard, two fur babies for your dog(s) to play with, and a large house for playing in, being crated if necessary or for lounging in our 3 large dog beds. When our queen size bed isn't being used (by humans), I convert it into an extra large dog bed where my pups have plenty of leg room. My husband, Mike, and I, go on walks daily and will visit our neighborhood dog park/beach area if your pooch likes to swim. Mike and I have cared for Miles for the last 11 years, but both have had dogs our entire lives. I have a tub and years of experience bathing large dogs too! Rest assured, when your pets are here, they are the guests of honor.
