Let me help you take care of your babies 🐶♥️ I currently work full time , but I do have my own pet sitting business on the side . I have my own two fur babies who I also spend my free time with , but I can take same day bookings 🐾💕 I have two fur babies .

About: I have experience in a wide variety of animal care including cats, dogs, birds, fish, reptiles, small animals (guinea pigs, hamsters, hedgehogs, and sugar gliders) horses and goats. I am skilled in dispensing oral medications as well as subcutaneous fluids and medications. I also have experience volunteering in animal rescue and animal education groups. I currently work full time at a law firm downtown. If you are located in the Midtown or Downtown areas, I am able to provide services early morning, midday and evening Monday thru Friday. I can service other locations morning and afternoon Monday thru Friday. Weekends I can provide services anytime. I do not provide care in my home as I have my own pets who sometimes do not play well with strangers. I can provide inhome care at the client's home. I can stay overnite or not depending on your pet's needs. I try to stay as close to the pets normal schedule as possible for feeding, walking, and playtime to avoid putting more stress on them while you are away.

About: I’ve taking care of pets my whole life. In High school I wanted to be a veterinarian so I got an internship at a local vet clinic. Did the internship for a couple of months then got a job taking care of the dogs in the kennel for boarding. I did that for about 3 1/2 years. I also have two dogs of my own! I work part time at a restaurant and I don’t really have a set day of when i’ll be available. Every schedule is different but I mostly work nights and available during the day. I have a fenced yard and two pups to keep your dog company. Also have two crates for a small to medium dog. thank you

About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their dogs while they were away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times. I am available weekdays after 2:40 PM and have flexible availability on weekends. I make it a priority to give pets the time, attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. Please note that I am currently unavailable on holidays. I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. I create a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, routines, medications, walks, and playtime to ensure pets remain comfortable and cared for. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of attention I would give my own animals.

“Kaleb has been such a huge help with our 2 labs! He is calm and confident, prompt, knowledgeable and communicates well. He has come up with several helpful suggestions as I work to keep the dogs entertained and mentally stimulated, and has no trouble reinforcing their existing training. After just a few visits, it is clear the dogs recognize he has come to take them for a walk and are happy to see him! Highly recommend Kaleb!”

About: I love animals as if they were my own children. I promise to treat your furbabies as you would want them to be and as if they were my own. I send lots of photos as well, and will keep you updated on everything they're doing while you're away. I am a full time college student, and I work part time. I only work a couple of days a week, and my classes are never longer than an hour and fifteen minutes. My schedule is extremely flexible. I promise to treat your home and furbabies with the upmost respect. Staying in a clients home is a delicate task, which requires respect and trust. Taking care of animals is something that requires the same dedication that I put into my schoolwork, and is a serious responsibility.

“Went above and beyond to help us find out missing pup!!!!”
