About: I've taken care of many dogs and cats over the years of all shapes and sizes. Up to 5 animals at one time in the past. I lost my last pet and want to help others while I grieve. I recently returned to Northern Michigan after the passing of my father to help my mother. Had to leave corporate job and looking for a happier pace of life and to give back to animals, who saved my life during a difficult time. I love walks and live right by the bike trails and near several parks. I also love cuddling on the couch and allow animals on the furniture if they're allowed to in their home. I would treat them like my own and follow any and all rules/restrictions to the letter. I always want to meet the pet and the family beforehand so everyone feels comfortable. I'm an open book and just like helping people. Ask any and all questions needed please!
About: I have 2 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, and as a passionate pet lover, I truly enjoy providing them with the best care. My friendly and attentive nature ensures that your pets feel loved and safe while you are away. Whether it is playtime, walks or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own! I currently work in a 5-start hotel resort in Aspen, but my flexible schedule allows me plenty of time to care for pets. As a passionate pet lover, I see pet sitting as more than just a job, it is something I genuinely enjoy. With two years of experience caring for cats and dogs, I bring the same dedication and attentiveness to pets as I do to my primary love. I tailor my care to meet each pets specific needs, whether it is in my home or my clients home. I provide a safe, clean and comfortable environment, ensuring pets feel relaxed and happy. For dogs I offer regular walks, playtime and plenty of attention while cats receive the care and affection they need to feel secure. I follow all feeding, exercise and medication schedule provided by the owner to maintain their routine. My goal is to create a street-free experience for both the pets and their owners.
About: Hello, My name is Faith. I am a recent college graduate with double majors in animal science and animal ecology. I am a lifelong animal lover and have experience fostering puppies and living with/caring for family dogs and cats.

I work a regular 9 to 5, but I am available to work with your schedule. I have free time in the morning and evenings to care for furry friends. I care by feeding the pets and providing enrichment. I can do this by playing with the animal or giving them a puzzle. I like using puzzles with treats to get them more involved in play as well as using scratching pads with catnip for cats.
