About: I've taken care of pets for over 10 years. Family and friends have trusted me to care for them when they're not around, including feeding, exercising, walks, staying over, etc. I'm currently working full time, but I have set hours and off nights and weekends to be able to visit and spend quality time with your pet! I take care to make sure your pets needs are met and any specific routines/medications are given as required in your stead. My goal is to spend quality time with your pet and bring some brightness to their day.

I am a full time mental health therapist and working with behaviors from humans to animals is something I am passionate about! I have a fenced in yard and a camera in the front. I like to go out with the dogs at first to make sure they get out safely- free of turkeys, coyotes, etc. For walks, I ensure the leash is properly on and the leash is tightly in my hand. I will absolutely abide by owners procedures and what they feel comfortable with!
About: Throughout my life I have always had a dog. I grew up with a black lab, and also currently have two little rat terriers. Growing up with dogs I know how to take care of them and also know how to interact and treat them well. I love taking dogs on walk and playing with them outside. I am a teacher so I am available early in the morning, all afternoon/night, and I am free weekends as well to take care of your pet. I am very loving and caring with animals and will treat your pet like they are my own. If you have any specific requests you would like to give me about your animal I would be more than happy to fulfill. I am a teacher who works from 7:30am to 2:45pm. I am free early in the morning as well as during the afternoon and at night. Weekends are normally free for me to take care of your pet. I love going on walks with dogs as well as popping in for a play date! Making sure your dog or cat has what they need would be a priority for me, and making sure they feel safe and you feel comfortable will be very important to me!
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a baby, and they are a huge part of my family. I also have experience dog and cat sitting for family friends and neighbors, as well as dog walking. I love animals and am looking forward to helping pet owners in my community! I am new to the area and looking for summer work, so I have a very open schedule! I am open all week at various times, so just communicate with me to find a time that works best. I will treat your home with care and take care of your pet like it is my own! I can house an animal at my house for a day, however I do not have a crate or dog bed.
About: Always surrounded by dogs, after asking for owner permission, lovable and playful. Patience with puppies and careful with older dogs. All dogs regardless of size and age are loved I'm am complaining my apprenticeship, being on call every other day. Able to take cats of dogs and cats every other day. Can take care of pets after 5pm I live in an apartment, unfortunately unable to take care at my own place. My dog at my parents home has a big fence in yard, and cats have plenty of towers to climb on top of
About: I have always had pets in the house. I have also worked professionally with animals for about two years. I have doggie day care, grooming, and boarding experience! I have dealt with all sorts of temperaments including aggressive, wild, and loving. I can provide grooming services as well as sitting! I currently work as a pet groomer most days out of the week. I have free time available to be able to give any animal the love it needs when their parents are away! I will not be able to care for an animal in my own home. I will follow anything an owner has expected for me. We will go for daily walks (whether permitting) and spend as much time together as possible!
About: I have had dogs of many breeds my whole life. I have plenty of love and patience to give any animal I take care of. I'm not working, so I have plenty of time to care for someone's furry pet. I love giving animals the love and attention they give us. I keep my dog on a routine. She gets plenty of time for potty and playtime. We spend evenings doing snuggle time, belly rubs, and a snack.
About: My whole life I’ve been around dogs. Practically everyone in my friends and family have a pup of varying sizes. I’ve been trusted to feed and walk their fur babies. My sister adopted a senior dog a couple of years ago, and it has been my biggest pleasure to get to know her better as well as what separates a senior dog from a younger one. I have been trusted to stay with her, take her outside to potty, take her on walks, and feed her whenever my sister is away. Each day is different, so I’ve been able to adapt on the fly to suit her needs for each day best. I have a flexible work schedule, so even though I have more traditional work hours, I can take 30 minutes or an hour to come visit with your pet and let them outside to walk or potty based on their needs. I do not work after 4pm, so if you need me overnight with your pet, they will have my full attention until 8am the next morning when I go to work. I am able to leave work briefly to check up on your pet during the day as well. I am someone who enjoys a clean space. Our furry friends deserve to have a clean space themselves and clean bodies. If there is mud to be wiped off of their paws, I will happily take care of it, and clean up any mud that was tracked inside. Anything that I can do to pamper your pet and make them feel safe around me is the least I can do. I look forward to making new furry friends!

“My family owns a weimarander dog and two cats. While on a week long vacation, I had the joy of having Erin watch over our pets.

She was a friendly caregiver that we will be returning to in the future.”
