About: Greeting, My name is Helen. I’ve recently completed my contract in the military. During my time in the service I spent time caring for my colleagues dogs (I do love cats, but I’m allergic) and found myself actually branching out to others when they needed someone to watch their babies. I grew up always having a dog in our family, and know how important they are as family members. Their unconditional love is something I’ve always cherished, and it would be my joy and honor to care for your fur babies whenever. My schedule is flexible, and I am available often. It’s really not a hardship spending time with loving pups. I do have experience with pets that have special needs. I look forward to hearing from you and your fur members.

“Communication was great. Did a Great job.”

“Pamela was a great sitter for our sweet kitty, Penny! She sent thoughtful updates each day and always made sure Penny got what she needed (snuggles, play, or some tv time!). She also handled Penny’s complex feeding and made sure she had all her meds completely correct. We’ll be sure to have Pamela back to watch Penny.”

“Super friendly and took great care of my kitties! Flexible and was accommodating, we were very happy we trusted her to care for our cats while we were on a trip. Highly recommend, she was respectful and a pleasure to interact with at every step of the way!”

“Rashell (pronounced Rachel) did a fabulous job! This was my first trip without my 5 yr. old English bulldog "Muriel", and there was considerable separation anxiety. Rashell handled it like a pro, and she and Muriel are now lifelong friends. I'll be using Rashell again during my next trip in April '24, and I encourage all of you to use Rashell as well - you won't be disappointed!”

About: For the past seven years I have been walking and caring for a dog in my community. I do have experience with elderly dog, and animals with special needs. I currently work a full-time job, but I’m free most weekends, evenings, and holidays to care for your fur babies. Of course if you have any questions regarding dates or times, just let me know. Of course whatever the client is looking for or know is best for their pet is what I will do. Safety is my number one priority with your family member.

“Thank you for checking in on my babies. Great job as usual!”

“Nikki stayed with Lucy for several hours and took her on a nice walk. She also provided me with updates and pictures. Lucy can be high energy but Nikki handled her well”

I'm an avid runner and I can keep up with the most active dogs! I know my work schedule about a month in advance so I know ahead of time when I will be available to care for your pet. I can drop in and visit your pet to give them some extra attention and care. I love being outdoors so I would love to take your dog on a walk or even a run if they have some extra energy!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I can remember. I currently have 2 cats and a pup. Friends and family have always relied on me to pet sit, including other animals such as goats, donkeys, and chickens. I work Monday-Thursday, but am always available before and after work (before 7am and after 5pm). I am also available to do drop in visits at my lunch break. I am available all day Friday-Sunday. I have a townhome with a wide field that I take my own puppy out to regularly. I crate train my dog, but do not require if for boarding other dogs. I also have two cats, so I ask for no dogs that are aggressive to kitties. If I am dropping in for visits, I treat your home like my own. I will make sure it is in the same state as it started and will give your pets lots of love!

About: I have been around dogs and cats for a couple years now. I have a dog and have had her for a year now. I understand the importance of going on walks and dedicate some play time! I am very patient and loving when it comes to animals. I’m currently working part time so I have some time to spare. Due to this, my work schedule isn’t always the same each month. But I would love to make some time to help take care of some cute doggies and cats! I have taken care of different kinds of dogs. I rescued a dog from the shelter so I have experience with taking care of animals that can be a bit more difficult. I am willing to clean up messes. I am very patient with animals and I will give them lots of love:)

“Wonderful care and communication each day!”

About: I have grown up with dogs, raising all of them from puppies (starting at 10 weeks). I also worked for four summers at a dog daycare with dogs of all ages and breeds. At work, I learned how to perform basic grooming procedures, worked with many dietary plans and restrictions, and handled medications. I have also volunteered with shelter dogs and cats with various behaviors and needs. I currently work 4 day weeks, but I have ample free time on my days off I have included in my calendar. Let me know how I can best fit your pet’s needs. I have a dog of my own who is very timid and territorial, so I do not offer services in at my own place. However, I will treat your fur babies with the same love as my own.

“Breezy is amazing and so sweet! She is the best with our dogs!!!”

About: (TWO PEOPLE USING ACCOUNT ME AND MY BF) We both been taking care of our own animals and family members since the age of 9, I love animals with a passion and I will spoil them with affection care and maybe a few treats <3 My pet care has seamlessly become an integral part of my daily routine since childhood. As a pet enthusiast, I dedicate ample time and attention to nurture and care for our furry companions. Each morning, I wake up eager to tend to their needs, starting with feeding and providing fresh water. Throughout the day, I incorporate playtime and interactive sessions to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. During midday lulls, I set aside moments to engage in bonding activities, ensuring they feel loved and cherished. Evenings are dedicated to additional play, grooming, and relaxation, allowing our pets to unwind. By creating a structured routine, I maintain consistency in their care, which in turn fosters a strong and trusting relationship with our beloved pets. Without the confines of a job, I cherish the privilege to spend quality time with our furry friends, providing them with all the care and attention they deserve. Morning: - 7:00 AM: Breakfast time with fresh water - 7:30 AM: Independent playtime with toys Midday: - 12:00 PM: Short play session or interactive toy time Afternoon: - 3:00 PM: Nap time or lounging in a sunny spot Evening: - 6:00 PM: Dinner time with fresh water - 6:30 PM: Interactive play session or grooming Night: - 9:00 PM: Evening playtime or interactive toys - 10:00 PM: Calm and relaxing environment before bedtime

About: I currently work at the local veterinarian clinic, so I have the staff there as a resource in case I need them. I have a crazy passion for animals especially dogs! I was raised on a ranch and my grandpa was a horse trainer. I believe it runs in my blood and I’m looking for an opportunity to grow in the pup community! I love dogs and am constantly researching effective ways in training and improving the quality of life in our best friends! I would love nothing other than to work with these amazing animals for the rest of my life. Also making it easier for others to enjoy their lives with their companions as well. I have taught a few pups manners and basic tricks. I’ve also researched a lot of training regimens. I pay attention to detail and behavior and keep an eye on their daily activities with a caring and patient sensibility. I currently work 40 hours at the local veterinary clinic but I made sure to set my schedule to my days off so that I can provide as much time to your fur friend as possible. I’m also willing to be flexible on certain things, basically just message me and we can try to work something out! 😊 I have a fenced yard, access to crates and dog gates. Not to mention the access to the local clinic that I work at in case there are any emergencies. I have and am currently studying Canine body language and have a keen eye for anything that might pose as a threat to our loved ones.
