About: Starting at the age of 7, I’ve been tasked with taking care of dogs. From brand new puppies to 12 year old dogs and Toy Poodles to Great Danes, my experience encompasses them all. I have a love and passion for all animals as I grew up on a cattle ranch, but there’s a special place in my heart for dogs. I am currently working part time, usually weekdays before 3 pm I am free to give your pet all the attention they need. Otherwise I’m available for late evenings and morning to early afternoon. Whatever you need, I can accommodate! Because of my varied experiences, I can handle your dog with the care that you see fit, whether they need to be pet all day long or walked for miles, I’ve got you covered!

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life since I was a kid. I even used to show my dog in 4H dog shows! I also showed chickens, goats and horses so I am very experienced with any kind of animal you may want me to look after! I’m currently working part time only so I would love to take care of pets during the day or even over night when I can! I have a pretty big yard and can take dogs on walks when they need. I can let them out/take on walks when they need!

Colton, SD, 57018

About: I have lived with and taken care of numerous animals in my life. Growing up on a farm gave me a love for animals and taught me how to properly care for them. I grew up living with cats, horses, dogs, etc. I currently have one cat named Blaze who is a part of the family. Due to Blaze being intolerant to dogs I will not be offering any in-home dog sitting services. I will be more than happy to take care of your family through drop-in playtime, walks, or overnight stays depending on your needs. I am currently enrolled at the local university pursuing a major in architecture. Through my career of personal aid visiting different families in need, I have become familiar with the neighborhoods around town as well as the parks you may want your pet to visit. I am looking forward to meeting you and your family. I currently work on the weekend, and I also attend college. This frees up a lot of my time during the week. I love helping out others and seeing the animals in our community. As mentioned I have one cat, he loves to engage in chase and will either chase me or a Lazer pointer. I will meet all of you requirements as well as provide cuddles and play.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was young both domestic and street dogs. My neighbors, and family have relied on me to walk, feed their pets. I go above because I love spending time with them as they are our extended family. I am currently working from home, with flexible work schedule. I can be contacted last minute for dog or cat sitting or walking. I am just a phone call away: My apartment is clean and spacious. They will be allowed to run free and walk regularly with love and care. Always available as needed. J

Peyton is great! My cats were totally comfortable with her right away. She was timely and attentive. Her communication was excellent and made me feel so confident about the care my pets would receive with her! I look forward to booking with her again next time I am in need!

About: As far back as I can remember, my family always had at least one dog/cat, each one of them holding a special place in my heart. I, now, am a proud dog parent of two Blue Heelers, Izzy and Brutus. I love every kind of dog and cat. I have experience with elder dog care and puppy care. I have a job where I work Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday. All 12 hour days. So, I would be completely booked up on those days. The other days I would be incredibly happy to spend time with your little loved one! I would make sure to have clear and open conversations with you about your animals throughout the day/night. I can give updates on when they go to the bathroom. I can, also, send pictures of them.
