I have 3 cats, a dog, and more, that all live in the highest quality conditions. I also have direct experience with all sorts of animals in many different situations. I am extremely dependable and will never leave you hanging! Nothing matters more to me than the health and safety of our little friends I work from home and can keep my schedule completely free to prioritize you and your pets! I am extremely organized and I make a point to meet my animals needs daily without fail. I can meet almost any need for your pets, I can give medications, clean up after, exercise, and interact with your pet. I can adapt to whatever schedule you and your animal need!

“I am delighted to share my experience with Hayden, who took care of my precious furbaby, Bella Blu, while I was away on vacation. During my time away Hayden took the time to send me pictures and frequent updates of Bella Blu on how she was doing. This type of communication gave me a sense of peace and mind and made me still feel connected while I was away. Hayden was very professional and attentive and took the time to understand Bella’s personality and routines. Not only did Hayden feed and walk Bella Blu she took the time to spend quality time and give her extra cuddles. It was very clear to me that Bella felt so loved and comfortable with Hayden and that brought me much relief. When I finally was able to return home to my Bella she was happy and healthy, which for me speaks volumes about the amazing care that was provided. I highly recommend Hayden to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Bella Blu and I look forward to working with her again in the future!”

About: I have a lot of experience caring for my 4 year old dog, Mr. Peanutbutter, and I occasionally look after my mother's 2 year old dog, Smokey. Mr. Peanutbutter requires regular grooming, exercise, and a healthy regular diet. I make sure he receives 2 daily walks, and plenty of play time. I also manage his feeding schedule and monitor his overall well being through regular vet checkups and grooming appointments. When I look after Smokey, I ensure he is well fed, gets plenty of physical activity, and enjoys interactive playtime. Smokey's energetic nature means I focus on providing him with enough exercise and mental challenges to prevent boredom. I'm used to managing the different needs of both dogs, making sure they receive the attention and care they require to stay happy and healthy. I currently stay at home so I have plenty of time to spend on taking care of your dog's needs. I personally take my dog on a walk once when I wake up and again in the evening depending on the weather and have the flexible schedule to adapt to different needs. My home has a fenced yard with plenty of space to run and and play with a patio area and another fenced off pool area.

About: **Pet Care Experience** As a passionate and dedicated pet sitter, my experience is enriched by my love for animals and my commitment to their well-being. What sets me apart from other sitters is my diverse skill set and my attention to the individual needs of each pet. I have experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments, allowing me to tailor my care to suit each animal’s personality. My background includes: - **Training Puppies:** I have successfully trained several puppies in basic obedience commands and socialization techniques, ensuring they develop good behavior and build confidence. I utilize positive reinforcement methods to encourage desired behaviors. - **Senior Pet Care:** I understand the unique requirements of senior pets, such as dietary restrictions, medication management, and gentle exercise routines. I take the time to ensure they are comfortable and provide engaging activities to keep them mentally stimulated. - **First Aid Certification:** I'm certified in pet first aid and CPR, which gives me the ability to handle emergencies effectively and provide immediate care when needed. - **Personalized Care Plans:** I create individualized care plans for each pet, considering their health needs, daily routines, and preferences. This helps foster a sense of security and comfort while their owners are away. With my experience and special skills in pet training and senior care, I strive to provide a nurturing environment that promotes happiness and health for every pet I sit. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, seamlessly blending with my lifestyle and responsibilities. Here’s how I incorporate it: 1. **Morning Routine:** My day starts with a commitment to my own pets or the pets in my care. I ensure they are fed, given fresh water, and taken for a morning walk. This not only helps with their physical health but also establishes a positive start to I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate various pet care needs. Whether it’s visiting pets during the day for walks and playtime or providing overnight stays, I adjust my activities to ensure each pet receives the attention Throughout the day, I check in with the pets I’m caring for, observing behavior and ensuring they are happy and comfortable. This includes play sessions, training exercises, or simply spending quality time together. I prioritize communication with pet owners. I send regular updates and photos, giving them peace of mind while they are away. This helps build trust and keeps everyone informed about how their pets are doing. In the evenings, I often dedicate time to enrichment activities such as training sessions, games, or leisurely walks. This not only helps with physical exercise but also strengthens the bond between pets and myself. On weekends, I like to plan longer outings or visits to local parks, giving pets the chance to explore new environments and socialize with other animals. These outings help keep them engaged and happy. By incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine, I ensure that the pets I look after receive consistent and loving attention, contributing to their overall well-being and happiness. Caring for pets, whether in my home or in my client's home, requires a tailored approach that prioritizes the comfort, safety, and well-being of the animals. Here’s how I manage pet care. My home is equipped with a pet-friendly environment, ensuring that there are no hazards such as toxic plants, small objects, or chemicals within reach. I have designated areas for pets to relax and play. 2. **Daily Routine:** Pets staying with me benefit from a structured routine that includes feeding, exercise, and playtime. I adhere to the feeding schedule provided by the pet owner to foster a loving atmosphere through regular interaction, bonding activities, and enrichment exercises. Whether it's playing fetch, engaging in training sessions, or cuddling, I ensure that pets feel happy and secure. 4. **Health Monitoring:** I keep a close eye on the pets for any signs of discomfort or health issues. Regular check-ins and playtime help me I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine in their familiar surroundings. I follow the client’s specified feeding, walking, and play schedules to provide consistency and comfort. 2. **Safety Protocols:** I ensure that the home is secure, checking that doors and windows are locked and that pets are provided with a safe area to relax. If applicable, I also supervise interactions with other pets or children.

“Katelyn is absolutely amazing! She’s watched my cats a couple of times, and has gone above and beyond. One of my cats is diabetic and she gives him his shots on time and sends me cute videos of them interacting with her when I’m gone. I will 100% be using her again and again 🩷 I can’t recommend her enough.”

“Samantha is amazing with animals. She treats your pets like they are part of the family. Sam has a heart of gold and very knowledgeable on animal care.”

“Best possible care I could ask for. 🤍 I have several cats, one of which has had ongoing medical issues for years. They’re all pretty skittish but absolutely love staying with Hannah—even if they hate the car ride! They’re always happy to visit her and you can tell she really loves each of them and is passionate about what she does. I’m very nervous leaving my cats, especially since they have a good deal of separation anxiety. Always feel much better knowing they’re with someone I can trust who has had so many years of experience caring for and fostering so many pets. Hannah is attentive and communicative, not at all afraid to ask questions and really has your pets best interests at heart. When one of my cats displayed signs of illness I didn’t notice, she quickly did research, made me aware, and assisted in providing the treatment he needed. She’s also absolutely hilarious and protective, and someone I would readily consider a friend even outside working hours. I’m so glad to have found her, and I know my thoroughly spoiled furry friends are glad too.”

“Amanda is an exceptional, loving person who has taken care of my 3 Australian Shepherds for over 5 years. Her customer service is exceptional.

I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is pretty convenient, anytime I’m not at work I’m at home with my animals.. constantly taking them out to Pee, and feeding when needed Im quite the furry friend, I will find ways to keep your pup entertained and loved! Also if there is any other activity your pup loves to do, lmk!

“Alli is reliable, kind, and knows her dog breeds. I have a high energy/ quirky Aussie and he took to Alli immediately! She has such a calming energ and clearly is very comfortable with animals. Even better, she’s great at communicating and sending updates. Highly recommend Alli”

About: I’d be more than happy to welcome your baby into my home! They will have as many potty breaks as needed ,they will be fed, and they will have fun. I aim to give your fur baby the best experience available. I’m sure your baby would fit right in. I offer special treatment/services if needed for your fur baby also! I look forward to hearing from you and I’m usually quick to reply back. If you have any questions or concerns, I’m just one message away. Thank you so much and I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I tend to form around most fur babies schedules. Some may sleep perfectly during the night and others may not. So my schedule really depends on your fur babies schedules. I typically like to ask for your fur babies favorite toy or snack this way each pet has a part of home with them. I like to get information on each baby about their typical day at home so that I can try my best to replicate that and keep them comfortable.

“Prompt, easy to deal with, and clearly a dog person. Cassie liked her!”

About: I grew up with dogs- Huskies and German Shepard. Also grew up with cats- mostly Siamese. I’m very active and love running and long walks if you’re pup is for it! I have an eager almost six year old son who loves to help out and is very gentle with pets. I’m a teacher, so I’m available weekends, all the long holiday breaks, and all summer. I can do during the work week as well, but am gone 7.5 hours! My son is wanting a dog and I’m looking for any excuse to get outdoors and moving as much as possible, so I figured dog walking and sitting would be perfect for our little family. We have some big goals for our little family as well and would love the opportunity to earn your business and help us accomplish those :) We don’t discriminate against cats and would love to watch them as well. I live in a pet friendly community and can sit in my all hardwood floor three bedroom townhome that has a dog park on site. During the school year, I am gone for 7.5 hours during the day, so please keep that in mind if you need boarding on weekdays when school is in session :) A few musta for doggies in our home- they must be house trained, they must be okay home alone for the workday (unless during a holiday week or summer), in which case they must be okay independently for up to 5 hours. Dogs cannot be temperamental or whine/bark when left alone out of respect for neighbors and their own well being :)

“Maddison was flexible with time and worked around my schedule. The dogs gravitated towards her right away and looked so happy in the pictures I was sent. We went home and they slept the whole night. It was a very good walk.”

“Victoria has pet sitted for me for many years and is very trusted with my fur babies! Is responsible and always attentive to their needs”
