About: I've had at least one pet my whole life. I grew up with an older dog that gave me a safe and comforting feeling. I am well experienced with different personalities and ages. I make sure my pets have been taken care of and also played with, that they feel loved and safe as my first dog had made me feel. I wake up fairly early at 6am to 7am. I make sure my animals are let out and fed soon after. I make sure throughout the day they have been given plenty of time to exercise and play before bedtime. The first thing I would do when first meeting a new friend is to not rush into it. I'd get to know them and their routine especially cats because they don't like their routine changed. They would have all their needs met even if it was specific on time and amounts. I would give additional attention and care for your pet because they experience a lot of stress while their owner is away.

About: I’ve had my dogs for four years now. They were shelter dogs so they required extra love and patience. I didn’t know their background so I had to learn them as they adjusted to me. It was trial and error with food, behavior, and temperament. It taught me patience and allowed me to understand animals more. I work full-time, but my best friend and I have extra time since we have weekends off and we love animals a lot. So we always find and make time for our babies. I have a fenced backyard so animals can run free and have their privacy. I have a water bowl outside for them and inside. We have toys and treats. I’d of course respect anyone’s wishes and do my best to meet their needs in their home.

About: I’ve taken care all sorts of animals ever since I was a kid. I also showed goats in 4- H for ten years. I graduated high school in 2024 and during high school I volunteered many hours at the Clinton County Humane Society. In June of 2024 I started pet sitting for local families. Since then I have helped take care of many families furry friends including common house pets such as Dogs, Cats, and even Kinkajous! I am currently trying to branch out and make pet care my main job. Which means my availability is usually always open! Don’t be scared to reach out and ask! BOARDING IN MY HOME: I live with my parents out in the country with two dogs in my home and one cat. I have several rooms, gates, and crates that can be used so my pets never come in contact with yours if that is preferred! There are 9 acres of total land for plenty of exercise, 2 of those acres are fenced off and occupied by two friendly dairy goats and chickens! While you go on vacation so will your furry friend/s !
