“Nora Sheehan is a responsible and caring individual. She has a lot of personal experience caring for and working with pets ranging from dogs, cats gerbils etc. She has an ability to make pets comfortable and at ease. I have observed her dedication to the pets and their needs for basic and emotional care as she has watched animals for other people in her life. Customers can depend upon her to show up when they are away to provide home care. Nora has the skills to watch in her home or the customers by the hour or the day. She has the added ability to offer boardingand care as well.”

“Our dog Bella is quite the handful, and we are so lucky to have found Delilah. She is super flexible with scheduling and has been able to stay with Bella in our home when we were away. Bella is still in her puppy years. She can be very energetic so we are happy that Delilah can keep up with her. We always get plenty of updates and pictures, Bella seems to love her company.”

About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds since I was 10 years old. I have had a farm with horses, dogs, ferrets, and cats. I also have experience with training, service dogs, and birds. I'm a teacher and trainer. I do not work summers. I am available anytime any day of the week. I love animals. Thank you for considering me. I have a fenced in yard. I love taking walks and throwing a ball or frisbee etc. Animals make me happy so of course they will be loved and be a part of the family.

“Matt did a great job with my girls. Walking two dogs at a time can be difficult, but he was super with them. Good communication, timely, and I’d book with him again.”

“Sierra has always gone above and beyond for me. She drove 45 minutes out of her way to pick up my dog for his grooming appointment. She comes over to let him out at the drop of a hat. She works on holidays. She really does it for the love of the pets.”

About: I have had animals.my whole life. I have been a dog owner for the last 15 years and love them. I hope to be able to care for your fur baby like I do my own. I understand your pet is a valued member of your household and needs to be treated with care and love. I will pet and play with your pet. I will feed them and give them the love they need while you are away. I will take them on walks. I love dogs and the energy they bring. My dogs are like my children and can only imagine what your dog or dogs means to you. I hope you will allow me to be a great friend to your fur baby. I am currently on a leave from work so I am currently available pretty much anytime you need me. I am available for daily letting outs or pet sitting for the holidays I would love to come to your home where your fur babies live and play with them in their own environment causing less stress on your baby or babies

About: I’ve had 3+ years in professional dog training as well as kennel care. I have whelped litters of puppies and am well rounded for any level of dog. I currently train dogs in general obedience and give riding lessons part-time. I do this all from my home so I would be accessible at any time to your pets needs. My farm is over four acres and is surrounded by corn fields. I have two very well trained dogs that help me socialize client dogs. In the evenings I do crate all dogs.

“Jessica is a fantastic, kind, and down-to-earth person. She is trustworthy and will love and take care of your pups as if they are her own. My four pups love Jessica; she walked and played with them while we were on vacation and took them out for walks while we had a long day at work! She was a lifesaver, and we adore her! You would be lucky to have Jessica as your pet caregiver.”

About: I’ve never met anyone as passionate about living creatures or life in general as I am. Working with living things also makes me feel alive. I’m a college student with basically no job so I have all the time in the world for animals and their owners alike. Hoping to get a job at the dog shelter near me! Dogs require a special type of love that isn’t always given to them by any random stranger. Cats even more so. The goal is to build a trust with the animal in a way that they can recognize a mutual respect. I’ve had many cats that aren’t “people cats” love me and not be able to leave me alone.

About: I have had the joy of being surrounded by pets my entire life. I have been caring for my own pets (family pets included) and also my friends pets. I have pet sit for my parents cats and I have also pet sit for my friends goats and chickens on many different occasions. I have also had the pleasure of taking my friends dogs on multiple walks. I enjoy every minute I am surrounded by animals of many different shapes and sizes. I currently work from home and have the opportunity to have an open schedule during the week. I am available Monday through Friday from 6am - 10pm. Please make appointments at least a day in advance and cancel three days before scheduled appointment, if need be. I provide the best care for every and any animal I come across. For my own cats specifically, I make sure that they have access to fresh water and dry food daily. I also feed them wet food with the cleanest ingredients, 3 times a day. I also make sure to scoop their litter box multiple times a day and change it out every other day. I will transfer this personal experience of mine to your pets by providing them with the best care while also respecting my clients rules and wishes.

“Shannon does excellent work and I recommend her anytime someone talks about their dogs! We were having issues after introducing a new dog into our home. She quickly surmised what the problem was and worked with us on a solution. Shannon did a heck of a job training us and our dogs. She has also become our go to dog sitter which leads to much less stress when we go on vacation!”

About: I have cared for all types of domesticated pets professionally since July 2018. I love what I do and never work a day in my life. The best part is assisting the owner by giving them peace of mind that their pet is well cared for and safe while having fun while they're away. My life revolves around the pets: pets I care for and my own four fur loves. I occasionally step out for an event or appointment, or to check on another pet. I never leave the pets alone for more than the allotted and appropriate time. I rotate the person by family pets, unless I have regulars who I absolutely know get along. Your pet will have a few hours out to roam the house and yard. Then I will put them in a decent sized room to rest, drink water, play with their toys, eat, etc. I then rotate the pets all day within the time I am awake. I feed and potty them on the same schedule as at home. They will get tons of attention and human interaction. I don't kennel unless owner would like.

“Julia Lehnen is one of the most loving and caring people I know and I highly recommend her to be a caregiver for anyone's dog. She has excellent communication skills, shows pride and enthusiasm for everything she does on a daily basis. Julia is trustworthy and will show respect and love for anyone's dog. Julia has been raised with Great Dane's and a Morkie growing up and has good control over any large breed dog as well as small breeds. She enjoys walking, playing and snuggly dogs. Julia is a college athlete and will be able to walk your dog any distance necessary. She will make sure that your dog is treated with respect and kindness. Julia is a highly organized person and manages time efficiently. If you want someone to care for your dog when you are away, Julia is the person that will put your mind at ease. I highly recommend Julia Lehnen to be a pet caregiver.”

About: I have had and cared for pets my entire life. Ever since I was 10, family and friends have always had me walk, feed, bathe and even train their pets. I am currently working part time and doing school online. I have a lot a free time to care for pets and would love to meet yours! I have a dog and 2 cats at home. I love to meet new pets and go for walks in new neighborhoods. I am very responsible and caring especially when it comes to animals!

“Lexi is one of the best people I know. Both in terms of a friend and a pet owner. Her pets (dogs, rats, and a bunny) are very well taken care of and so loved. She is caring and compassionate to both the humans and animals in her life. She is one of the only people I trust with my pets when I am gone. I know that they not only will be spoiled in my absence, but loved as well.”
