Pet Sitting Lexington Hills

About: I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, and other animals all my life! I rescue animals when I can, have fostered, bottle fed, treated injuries, given injections and medications to many animals. Animals are my comfort zone- just being around them is my joy! I can do short walks, herding dog games, feed, or provide overnight care. I especially love herding and other working breed dogs, and typically get along with even difficult animals (feral cats for example!) I would love to meet you and your pets! I am a recently retired high school teacher sill working part time at UCSC, so am available most days to care for your pets. I have 2 dogs and 2 kitties at home, bit can easily help out pet parents who need extra walks, play time, or vacation care! My pets are my family (fur babies!) i will care for your pets like my own! I can care for your pets in your home- the least stressful for them! Or take them to a park, hikes, or a leisurely walk. In your home I will make sure to keep everything tidy, and treat your pets as my family- lots of snuggles and playtime!

About: I have 2 dogs that are the absolute loves of my life. I’ve had dogs my whole life and always watch friends dogs and provide exceptional care! What can I say, I like dogs more than people!! I have a flexible work from home schedule and a large flat fenced yard. I love to take dogs for hikes and walks and provide food, pets and care as needed! I am very attuned and aware of dogs. If something seems off, I will take immediate action. I ensure food and treat schedules are adhered to and overall will just love and cuddle and pet and walk your dog! I’m super kind and believe dogs are the kindest souls on earth.

About: I love all animals and love to interact and care for them. Animals are part of our family and needed to be treated as such. I am currently a stay-at-home homeschooling mom so I could spend almost every minute with your fur baby to make sure they are having a wonderful time. I have a dog as well so your fur baby will have some company. Also my daughter just loves dogs as well and your fur baby will be extra loved.

About: A lifelong love for animals has lead me to professionally working in Veterinary medical centers and Shelters. I am an Adoptions Counselor for the San Diego Humane Society. I am Fear Free Certified, trained in proper husbandry and handling for a range of species, and educate new owners on such. I am available all day Mondays and Tuesdays, Thursday through Sunday mornings and evenings for drops ins and walks. With overnights I am flexible as long as communication and time permit. I adore taking pets on walks or out to play! I am comfortable walking dogs of all sizes. I prefer to pet sit in an animal’s own environment for their same. It is already stressful to be away from their family and staying in their homes is helpful.

“Hannah is great Thank you so much for taking great care of my buddie and being available on short notice”

About: I have two small dogs (maltipoo’s) of my own and have cared for my relatives/family friends furbabies often. I’m most experienced with smaller dogs however I’m willing to learn to care for any type of pet/species. I’m currently home full time and so my schedule is very flexible at the moment! I understand everyone has different concerns so I’m more than happy to accommodate as best I can. I live in a townhome so there’s a small backyard area. The area is safe with lots of families and dog owners in the neighborhood. I’m open to long walks, short walks, sniffari’s, drop ins, etc. Inside of my home, the garbage is enclosed within a pull out trash bin so dogs aren’t likely to get through. Cleaning and vacuuming happens regularly so there are minimal hairballs or choking hazards. The doggie gate is located along the stairs in case we need to keep them in a dedicated area but usually it’s left open for the doggies to roam free (as they are potty trained). Feeding is done in different areas so no resource guarding takes place. We have a large crate that the dogs treat at their personal home, they go in and out as they please. I like to keep their potty breaks on a schedule as well as feeding time and the air purifier runs constant.

“So great! Stephanie and her son came to check on our puppy Charlie. They were very flexible and sent us pictures. Would have them back again for sure.”

About: I grew up with rats, fish, cats, and dogs of all sizes (mostly on the larger side, 75 lbs+). One dog I had had diabetes and cancer and I helped with giving him insulin and providing close care every day. I've repeatedly been asked to walk/pet-sit for family friends and neighbors who have had anything from a chihuahua to huskies. I also attend weekly training classes with my parents' dog so I can apply what I've learned to taking care of pets I meet. I currently have two cats, but I love hanging out with dogs too! I just moved back to the Bay Area after living in Chico, CA for school. I absolutely love animals and since I'm currently looking for a job, I knew it would be fun to help out other pet parents with their furry loved ones in the meantime. I currently live in a house with three cats, who I've had since they were 3 months old, and a large 2-yr old dog who needs walks twice a day. I've raised cats and kittens through foster care since high school and I take the dog to training once a week. If your pet needs medicine, I have experience giving insulin and getting stubborn pets to take pills.

“Jeanne was on time the two mornings to feed our feral cats which are three to four of them, though these cats she will not see since they hide until she leaves our front yard. Yet, we invited her into our front room when she came to our front door and Jeanne has a wonderful spirit who can talk about just about anything plus no shyness is there about her. Jeanne smiles, laughs and keeps eye contact while we all talked also. Lovely personality she has... I'm glad she lives close by us too. Thank you. Sincerely, Mrs. Bonnie Kellerby”

“Elena took great care of my (admittedly difficult and sensitive) cat. She went above and beyond and even watered my tree too! Would definitely use her again ?”

About: Howdy, I'm Persia, and I would love to walk your amazing best friend! I have 10 years of veterinary medicine and animal welfare experience. I am a certified veterinary assistant. I am a fear free / force free trainer. I love working with all kinds of dogs from the young and hyper to the geriotric babies.🤠🐶 Very blessed pet care can be my biggest passion and career. Working in animal welfare for the past 15years has giving me the knowledge and experience to be able to pursue my dreams No matter the service, I am dedicated to providing and following all safety protocols for every house, walks, or bathing service. I never walk a dog without a leash. I advocate for all dogs while on walks for others not to pet or approach with their dogs to keep everyone safe.

About: Hi! My name is Alexa, and I absolutely love animals! I have grown up around pets and currently have a cat and a German Shepherd of my own. I also previously had an English Mastiff, so I’m very comfortable caring for large dogs and understand the extra patience and attention they can sometimes need. I have experience dog walking for many different families, doing drop-in visits for both dogs and cats, and house sitting for dogs, cats, and even chickens! I love getting to know each pet’s individual personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. While I haven’t personally cared for every type of animal, I am responsible, trustworthy, and very willing to carefully follow any instructions you provide. I’m always happy to learn about your pet’s specific routine, needs, and preferences. I recently graduated high school with a 4.67 GPA and will be attending Washington University in St. Louis next year. I’m dependable, organized, and take my responsibilities seriously, but most importantly, I genuinely love animals and would treat your pets as if they were my own. I work a daily job from noon until the evening, so I’m most available in the mornings. I’m able to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care before noon, especially if your pet is sensitive to heat and only takes morning walks! I may not be able to personally stay with a pet 24/7 every day, but I can accommodate pets who are comfortable being alone for part of the day. For boarding, I also have family members in my home who can be with your pet while I’m at work, so your pet will have someone around and will not be left alone for the entire day. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific schedule and needs beforehand to make sure I can provide the right level of care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are extremely important to me. I have experience caring for dogs and cats and understand how important it is to follow each pet’s individual routine, instructions, and boundaries. I have a large, securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely get outside, play, and get some energy out. I also have an older German Shepherd and a cat, so I’m very familiar with having multiple pets in the home and making sure everyone is comfortable. I’m responsible, attentive, and trustworthy, and I will always follow your instructions carefully. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I absolutely love animals! I'd love to take care of your family pet! :) I am a stay at home wife and Momma with time to give your pet. I live with my husband, two children (10 and 7, girls) and seven year old black labrador (our boy loves all animals, he has had exposure to a wide array of pets). If references are needed I have years of experience and would be happy to provide some. Thanks for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you! ~Robyn Pet care fits nicely into our daily and weekly routines. We walk every night before bed as a family and during the day the pet would not be alone because I am in the household daily. I typically walk in the morning as well. However, I’m happy to meet the needs of your pet, all pets have their own routine. Mine is very flexible to their needs. When your pet comes into our home they are instantly part of the family. Loads of love and affection rained down on them from us. It’s very important for me to know exactly what your pet likes and it’s top priority during our time together.
