About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, and ferrets since I was very young. I’m a civil engineer, but I love spending time with and taking care of animals more than anything! I take care of my friends’ and family’s pets all the time! I have a husky mix named Nirvana and a cat named Murphy. My english springer spaniel, Bowie, passed away last year from cancer. I’m experienced with walking dogs that are very strong and pull hard so you don’t have to worry about that being an issue! I’d be honored to be chosen to take care of your pet; I know how much my pets mean to me and I’ll make sure to take care of your pets as if they were my own! I currently don’t have a job, so I’m available to help take care of your pets whenever needed! I’m fine with early morning or late night care, and I can stop by as many times as needed! I’m willing and able to do anything for your pets at your home! My dog is slightly reactive so unfortunately I won’t be able to provide services at my own home.

About: I grew up in a house with up to 14 trained working dogs at a time. I’ve spent years working with and developing the skills needed for them to succeed at trained tasks. I currently have an obedience trained Catahoula Leopard Cur whom I’ve been working with since puppyhood. I’ve boarded and have done drop in pet sitting since age ten. I’ve bred and trained both domestic and working dogs, and have an advanced understanding of dog body language and behavior signs to help the dog communicate. I’ve had years of experience with many different breeds of dogs from terriers, hounds, bulldogs, mastiffs, golden retrievers, doodles, and many more. I’m currently working part time jobs with flexible hours, allowing me to arrange my schedule in a way that suits your needs. A typical day includes people being home almost 24/7, typically no more than 4 hours go by with my dog being alone. I am able to do drop ins when needed, and can work around most requests. I have an unfenced 2.5 acre yard attached to a 80 acre farm. My dogs are allowed to run freely with supervision in the yard. No current barn animals present besides cats and the two indoor dogs. I am also able to provide a small enclosed area to play, with prior notice, and can use different haltering methods to ensure your furry friend will remain in a safe controlled area. In your home I am able to provide any life style you give your dog, whether that be free roaming or supervised on-leash outside time, or any other way to keep your pet safe. I’m always open to different ways to care for dogs because I understand each dog has different needs.

About: I have taken care of family and friends dogs for the past 6 years. I love dogs, and they usually love me! I am great with exercising your furry friend I currently work full-time, but i do get an hour lunch break between 1-2 and get done around 5. I am reliable person to care for your animal. I have my own 6month old puppy to keep your friend company. I am respectful of your space and can help at home as needed

About: I have 4 pets (3 dogs & 1 cat) of my own, so pet care is a daily occurrence in my house. In the past I have cared for neighbors pets on a regular basis. I also, worked at a kennel for one year. Pets are a daily love and life event at my house. I make sure my pets have everything (and more) they need for a happy life. Pets need to trust and be comfortable with people. Pets should not be rushed to know you. If you take the time to let them come to you at their pace the outcome will be better for them and you.

About: My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I have had dogs in my family since I was 10. I have a flexible schedule and work part-time, so I can work with many other time requests and schedules. I can care for your pet on weekends also. I have a very large yard for your dog to play in and I have 2 friendly dogs to keep them company. I can crate your pet also if needed.

About: My first paid gig was babysitting a diabetic cat at age 16. All of my own pets have lived extraordinarily long lives which I credit to my own care and pampering. I have had my own, and dog sat for, Greyhounds, a notoriously high maintenance breed that I adore. I will go out of my way to assure your pet is comfortable and healthy like hand feeding your stressed pup who doesn't like to eat when you are away, cooking up turkey and rice (even though I'm vegetarian) for upset tummies and sleeping on the couch instead of the guest bed because your furry friend won't leave the living room until you get home. I'm comfortable with cats, dogs, small mammals, lizards and fish. Through Rover I have built my experience with chickens, goats and sheep and find I'm really enjoying the hobby farm chores! Drop-in and Dog walking within 10 miles only. I work from home so as long as you have good wifi I can be pretty flexible. I love to walk and hike and can do so during the week in the morning, at lunch and evening. Very flexible on weekends, particularly for furry friends who might want to adventure in the woods with me! I like to do a meet and greet before staying in your home. An introduction to your pet family, a lay of the land and Q&A. I love detailed written instructions so there is no confusion on your preferences and your pets needs. I'm a strict rule follower assuring your pets get the care you expect with the flexibility and experience to adapt to unforseen situations.
