Care For Your Pet Like It’s My Own
Pet care experience
With over 13 years of experience caring for different animals, I want to extend that to other pet parents and fur babies who need an extra hand. I’ve cared for cats, dogs giant and itty bitty, hamsters, bunnies, fish, etc. many of them being my own. From fostering a Great Pyrenees with separation anxiety, now babysitting him when his adoptive parents are away to prepping veggies for a bunny and cleaning kitty’s litter boxes, all animals are important in my eyes. I know from experience how hard it can be knowing your baby might be alone for awhile and how that can weigh on you! I’m here as a communicative, caring, and animal-loving person to carry ease your mind and care for your pet in the way that’s most conducive to them so they can thrive until you’re home again!

Hayley was great!
I have known Hayley for many years. She is one of the most kind and caring humans I've ever met. This woman loves animals too! Hayley helped take care of two cats as she was growing up. When she was in college she had a beautiful hamster named Honey. Hayley researched what hamsters needed and showered Honey with affection. Then came Doug, her rabbit. Doug was a rescue and because of Hayley, he lived a good long life. Hayley made sure he had everything he needed, making sure he had the right food and environment and taking him to the vet when he was sick. Hayley has also taken care of my kitty, Howard many times. Even though he's now 18 years old and deaf, she understands his needs and goes slowly with him when necessary. Last fall, Hayley and her husband, lovingly fostered a 1 year old Great Pyrenees. They took care of him for 5 weeks taking him for multiple walks a day and giving him care until he was placed in his forever home. Hayley is so conscientious, reliable and caring. She will be a great caregiver for your pet!
I can not recommend Hayley enough. She has been a wonderful foster parent and babysitter for our Great Pyrenees, Banks. He can be a handful but Hayley is so attentive and trustworthy that I am totally at ease knowing Banks is in her care. She is a great communicator and was exceptionally accommodating when I asked for updates while we were gone. Anyone would be lucky to have her watch their pets while they are away.

Safety, trust & environment
I’m there to look after your pet in the environment it’s most familiar with. I respect your space the way you want me to. I’m comfortable crating your pet, handling feedings, ensuring they have enough water, safely taking them out for potty breaks, supervising their outside time leashes or unleashed, taking them on walks with attentiveness and awareness (never on my phone or with headphones - I like to be alert and engaged), and showing them lots of love, cuddles (or space), pets and scritches, verbal encouragement, and positive reinforcement.
Information Hayley V. would like to know about your pet
I’d love to know your animal’s likes/dislike, preferred schedule, favorite comforts (toys, blankets, stuffies, etc.), any commands/training you’re working on, any allergies they might have, or meds that need to be administered. Do they have any fears or things we need to cautious of? How can I best support your pup in your absence?
A typical day
I’d love to provide enrichment for all animals. Whether it’s a treat puzzle or hand feeding for dogs, to waving a feather wand or throwing a toy for a kitty, I like to engage with the animal and make sure they’re getting the attention and play they deserve. We will go for walks, play in the snow (if that’s their thing), or take a loose lead walk to get all those extra sniffs in. I typically walk pups on a path through a beautiful wooded area near my house or play with them with a favorite toy in a fenced area.

Availability
I have some remote work days during my week and I can work from just about anyway during those days. I want to offer care to someone who maybe doesn’t have the privilege of being at home with their fur-baby.
