Pet Sitting Loretto

About: Im an animal science major, I've worked at dog kennels and a dog boarding area since I was little. If you can't tell animals are basically my life. Some special skills are knowing that all dogs are different, I will make sure that I know all the necessities needed for each dog or critter that you will have me watch! If they need special medication I'll make sure that's taken, and anything you do for your dog/critter normally. I'll also make sure will get done as well! Hope this helps explain some more about who I am, if there are any questions don't be afraid to ask! I do work during the day in Lawrenceburg from 7 to 4. I work full time in Winterset, but I'm off by the latest 4 p.m during the week. I'm free on weekends, and can be there anytime then! For service for pets in my home. I apologize, but at the moment I don't bring into my home. For in a client's home, I make sure they have their regular routine they're use to. They don't recieve any extra food that may upset stomachs. I also ensure to follow any rules given or asked by the pet owner.

About: We've lived on a farm most of my life and we've had animals all my life. I currently have 2 pups of my own. A 11 year old English Shepherd Mix (Kai) and a 7 year old Miniature Long-Haired Dachshund (Riley). I lost my childhood dog Max (a Border Collie mix) from old age when he was 16.... I have trained all my dogs and not just the average leashing and commands but tricks too! I have also always done all the bathing, grooming and trimming nails. I absolutely adore dogs. I am hoping to turn this into a full time job. But am willing to start out with what I can get while doing a part time job. I will always try to make sure your fur baby is well taken care of, safe, comfortable and happy. So, there will be no need to worry.

“Presleigh was wonderful! We had last minute change of Thanksgiving plans and she didng hesitate to pick us up and come feed our sweet kitty. She even went the extra mile and fed the strays we take care of that live outside and filled our water bowls that were low when she absolutely did not have to! If you want someone who can be asked to do one thing and she helps out with extra stuff, this is your girl!”

About: I love all animals like they are my own. Your animals will be in the best care possible while you are enjoying your away time. I work from home so watching your animals would be my pleasure. I love sitting around enjoying time with my animals while I work so why not include others. I have friendly dogs of my own that love company and I live out in the country on 5 acres. My dogs love showing off their space.

About: I grew up on a 100-acre farm and have spent my entire life caring for animals of all kinds. My experience includes both everyday and medical care for livestock and household pets, giving me a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and individual needs. I have implemented treat based training as well as clicker training with my own pet. Over the years, my family bred and raised both small and large dog breeds, ranging from Beagles to Great Pyrenees. This hands-on experience has given me confidence working with animals of all temperaments, sizes, and energy levels — from high-energy working dogs to elderly and disabled pets requiring extra patience and specialized care. Animal care has always been a true passion of mine. I believe animals are a gift to everyone they meet, and I am committed to providing compassionate, reliable, and attentive care to every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time profession, allowing me to provide reliable, flexible, and attentive care for every animal I work with. I also attend school virtually while completing my degree in therapy, which gives me the ability to maintain a consistent schedule dedicated to pet care. My long-term goal is to open a therapy practice incorporating equine-assisted therapy to help support and heal others through the connection between humans and animals. I prioritize providing care in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable and able to maintain their normal routines and environment. I believe staying in a familiar space helps reduce stress and anxiety while allowing pets to feel safe and secure. I take the time to follow each owner’s care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication administration, and any special needs. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while treating both your pets and your home with the highest level of respect and professionalism.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and grew up in a house that always had anywhere from three to six dogs running around. Because of that, caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I genuinely love animals and have always treated them with the same kindness and patience I'd want someone to show my own pets. I currently have three dogs of my own, and I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pets with someone else. That's why I make it a priority to treat every dog I care for like they're part of my own family. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just wants someone to sit with them and give them attention, I'm happy to meet their individual needs. I've also raised and trained all three of my dogs from puppies, so I'm comfortable with younger dogs who need a little extra patience, consistency, and supervision. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I currently work PRN, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I also babysit on the side, so I'm always looking to fill open spots in my schedule with something I genuinely enjoy—caring for animals. While weekends tend to be when I have the most availability, I'm open to helping throughout the week as well. Whether you need care planned in advance or last-minute assistance, I'm happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I understand that every pet is different, which is why I always make it a priority to follow your pet's normal routine and any instructions you provide. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home for a drop-in visit, walk, or overnight stay, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their familiar environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and believe in providing plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while you're away. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet, while keeping you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands!

“Hannah has stayed with our pets several times now and whether overnight or just dropping in she is very punctual, communicates proactively, and is a pleasure to work with.”

“Quianna is super nice and really does love pets. My pups liked her on their first meeting. She took pictures and movies for me which made my day. I will absolutely be going to her first next time I need a sitter!”

About: I've been pet sitting for friends and neighbors since around the time I entered by teenage years. I've also worked in two veterinary clinics that offered animal boarding. As such, I'm experienced at caring for a variety of both cats and dogs, as well as administering medication, following strict diets, and cleaning up messes. My coworkers wpuld pften request me by name to help deal with larger or chunkier dogs. I'm currently attending college with classes Monday through Thursday. However, I have no exceptionally early classes, and my school day is always over by 2pm. The rest of my schedule is flexible enough to work around pet sitting with little issue. Friends and neighbors have trusted me in their homes to care for their pets for years, and I've never broken that trust. I always make sure to clean up any messes caused by pets, report strange behavior or possible symptoms of illness to the owner, and lock the doors behind me as I leave. I also make sure every pet gets plenty of attention from me.

About: I have been able to care for dogs from their whelping to their old age and death. I have cared for dogs with hip dysplasia, diabetes, and emotional disorders. I worked at a local animal shelter providing for the grooming, health, and play needs of local dogs. I am not currently working (I am studying for my NCLEX), and have loads of free time to look after and play with your smaller and furrier family members. Building trust is essential when working with animals, and I like to prioritize becoming familiar with the pet. Once that trust is established, I can better ensure the safety, health, and happiness of the animal. Dogs are incredibly smart and understand words and your tone of voice, both of which I am mindful of when interacting to maintain a productive relationship.

“Bre did a fantastic job with our three cats! We have two senior cats who are a bit high maintenance and one younger one who is sweet but energetic, and she didn’t mind the list of details to keep everyone content while we were out of town! Extremely thorough, great communication, would definitely recommend Bre and will use her again!”

About: I have taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes for 20+ years. I was also a groomer for 5 years and vet assistant. I'm quite comfortable with senior and puppy care,, giving medication and cleaning up any messes. I also have training experience with all variety, from basic commands to proper leash walking. Currently self employed, so I have a very open schedule and am able to accommodate quite a wide range of needs, from early morning to late night and weekends. Making your pet feel safe and comfortable while you're away is my number 1 priority. Giving them lots of stimulating play time, with lots of head and belly scratches

About: I am an owner of two Jack Russell Terriers who make my life incredibly entertaining. Both of them are rescue pets. The relationship I've built with them has introduced me to a whole new part of myself. I love to dote on others' fur babies as well. I'm a professional musician who does this as a way of supplementing my income, so my schedule is *usually* accommodating to almost any pet owner's needs. I prefer to do drop ins and some house sitting. I don't typically want to bring my own pups along with me until I know your dog's temperament. Even then, it is rare. They are beginning to show that they’re senior pups. If you think I'll fit your needs, don't hesitate to call. I'f I'm available, your pups will be well cared for and smothered with affection.

About: I have helped my best friend who is a breeder for a couple years take care of her liters of pups and adult dogs. ♥️ I can watch or do drop in in the evenings after my regular job or on weekends. I can also do the same on some holidays. I have a fenced in back yard and a very friendly golden doodle. I am also comfortable in a clients home if that is what they prefer.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, and even the occasional chicken. As a longtime pet owner myself, I understand how much our animals mean to us. I treat every pet I care for like part of the family, with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s a daily walk or a weekend stay, you can count on me to keep your furry (or feathered!) friend safe, happy, and loved. I’m available for midday walks, check-ins, and evening visits. I also offer overnight house sitting if you're looking for someone to keep your pets company overnight. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by sticking to their usual routine, feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I respect each pet’s personality and any specific instructions you provide. If I’m doing overnight care, I maintain a calm and cozy environment, making sure your pet gets attention, companionship, and consistency while you’re away.
