About: *Owner of Branch Pet Care - Look us up on Facebook! I grew up with cats and dogs, but I've always loved all kinds of animals. I worked in a shelter for over 2 years, during which time I was in charge of the enrichment program for dogs and cats, and I obtained certification in Shelter Animal Behavior. I loved working with shy and special-needs dogs the most. (I currently have a rescued snake and ferrets, as well as cats and dogs.) I have some medical knowledge, and I am expanding that by attending school for a vet tech certification. I am on summer break May 14-August 17th with full availability! I am happy to work within your pets' normal schedule. Drop-off, pick-up, or drop-in hours are 7am-7pm I have a fenced in yard and a constant supply of treats and toys. Dogs are allowed on furniture and most areas of the house, excluding the master suite, which is the cats' safe area. When doing drop-ins for cats, I will allow time for the cats to warm up to me, ensuring that they feel safe and are well-cared for. I'm happy to care for other small pets as well.
About: I have been watching dogs/animals for most of my life. I have also had experience breeding dogs and raising puppies. I have been trusted by numerous people with their most beloved pets and homes. I have 3 dogs myself with crates for each one if needed . I can also keep them in separate rooms if needed but hopefully they play well togehter. Each pet has different needs and this will be discussed prior to boarding. I have experience with puppies to older dogs that need medicine. I have experience hosting pets and going to house sit.
About: I grew up with plenty of cats and dogs in and outside the home. At 12, I started a "business" dog walking and learning how to give shots to a diabetic cat. For a few years I also worked with 4Pawed Redemption, a veteran-run non-profit designed to help rehome military family pets. I also successfully trained my own pup to qualify as a service animal to help a friend in need, but care doesn't stop with dogs! I've also helped with ferrets, snakes, tortoises and parakeets before-just please no tarantulas! Hope you find the help you're looking for :) Currently working part-time before going to college in August, but I have plenty of time to work around nearly any schedule within my range, and with most addresses in Batesville I can even visit the local dog park! I always ask up front about any allergies or sensitivities your pet might have, in addition to what training they have gone through and their everyday personality. By knowing how they usually act, I'm better able to help them with any signs of nervousness or anxiety and adjust their care accordingly, so it's not just about food and water with me :)
