Dog Sitting in Minoa

About: My journey in animal care began in 2017 as a kennel technician, and over the past 8 years, I’ve grown into a skilled veterinary assistant with extensive experience caring for dogs, cats and exotic pets of all breeds and temperaments. When I go home, I hug my 2 cats and 2 dogs after a long days work. I also have owned a hedgehog who is now in heaven, and I had the pleasure of growing with and caring for my childhood dog who is also in heaven with my hedgie. From daily walks and enrichment to assisting in exams and treatments, I’ve had the privilege of supporting our furry friends through every stage of life. I’m trained in administering medications—whether it’s a pill, injection, or special diet—and I always prioritize comfort, safety, and trust. Whether your fur baby is playful, shy, or needs a little extra TLC, I bring patience, experience, and a whole lot of love to every visit. I work weekdays 7a-3p, so I am available M-F after 3-3:30p. Saturdays and Sundays I am usually away. I can answer any questions on availability and openings for walks and drop ins! I fully acknowledge that I am entering into your home and that alone is the biggest reason I go above and beyond on building trust with you and fur babies. Safety is my highest priority — I want everyone to feel safe before I ever step foot into your home. I require a meet and greet to start the process; this is to make sure your pet(s) get familiarized with my presence, then I assess compatibility after 1-2 bookings. If I’m concerned about temperament, we will next steps and gauge whether or not we can move forward with future bookings. There are times when pets display signs of stress or protective/territorial behaviors when a stranger enters their home, especially if it’s for the first time. While I’m comfortable caring for an array of temperaments, the last thing I want is your pet to be stressed and unhappy. I am transparent about this process upfront as I prioritize safety for all parties. Upon meeting you and your pet for the first time, I will ask you (many) questions and write all information provided down and go over everything with you before ending the meet and greet session. This will include questions regarding specialized care, diet, temperament, etc. I will also ask for an emergency contact and veterinarian information in the case there is an emergency while you’re not home. For all of my services I make sure to accurately follow all instructions provided with consistent text and picture updates. I NEVER touch anything in your home besides pet-related items disclosed at our meet and greet unless I have permission. After services are completed, I refill all food/water bowls, put back all pet related items such as food and toys where they belong, tidy up if permitted, and give your pets some extra TLC before leaving!

“Kendra did a great job caring for our dog and communicating with us. This allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying about our dog. We will definitely book with her again!”

About: While growing up, there were always 6 dogs in the house ranging from chow chows to a small morkie. With my friends and family, I’m the first one on-call to watch their furry friends. I’ve taken care of a Great Pyrenees puppy all the way to a 15 yr old chihuahua. I’m open to overnight pet sitting or even a simple walk :) I typically work Tuesday through Saturday during the day. So I’d be available for morning walks, morning and afternoon potty breaks, or even overnight stays! Sundays and Mondays I have open availability! Since every dog is different, I try to gauge the typical day based on the information provided. If your pup is very social and loves to explore, I’ll bring them on a scenic walk. If you have couch potato, that’s no problem at all!

About: I have helped take care of the pets in my family since I was little! I love the distinct personalities and quirks that different animals have. Spending time with animals is good for the soul and I would love to help take care of them in my free time! I am currently working part time, and need to be in Oswego on Wednesdays and Fridays until 4. I particularly enjoy going for walks on these days to move after a drive. I am free the rest of the week and available on weekends! I follow the directions given to me for petcare, and make sure animals get plenty of attention and play time while their owners are gone while being respectful to their space.

About: Growing up I have always had pet including dogs, cats, and birds. I have loved taking care of pet since I was little and now own 2 pets of my own. I have worked in a pet shop helping puppies find great loving homes and I have experience walking and grooming dogs for about 2 years. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs and cats and with puppies due to my past job and my pups now. I am currently working full time, but I do have Wednesday and Sundays off. I am available every Monday, Tuesday. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 5am-12pm. Im available all day on Wednesdays and Sundays I don’t have a fenced in yard but I am able to take your fur babies for walks and take them out of a leash. I also have 2 very friendly fur babies myself that will keep your pup company. I also am able to crate the babies if needed or as a safer option

About: I have taken care of my girlfriend’s dog during my visit to her house including feeding the dog and walking the dog around the block. I’m actively looking to walk dogs as I enjoy walking them during the evening time. I’m a teacher so during school year, lm available 3 pm and onwards I am only offering dog walking service since I live in an apartment, it will be very difficult to take care of the dog here.

“Anne did a great job taking care of our two kittens while we were away for the weekend. The kittens are very, very shy around other people, so we really appreciated the effort she put into getting to know them despite that. We came back from our trip to two very happy and well-fed kittens. We couldn’t ask for more.”

I hope that she will be available in the future! Thanks Nora!”

About: I started pet sitting for neighbors when I was 16 years old and have been pet sitting for over 10 years! I was raised with every animal under the sun and have so much empathy and love when it comes to animals. I had an active profile on Rover for several years and am now getting back on to reconnect with past clients and make new connections! I love staying in communication and sending photos of your pets to give you that peace of mind. It’s my goal to make sure you’re 100% confident and comfortable and know your pets are in the best hands. ❤️ I work full time but I am available in the evenings and weekends for walks and drop in visits. I am also available for house sitting and staying with your pets and making sure they get all of their care before and after my day job. I like to make sure my clients provide me with any and all information regarding the care of their pets. I will make sure to come in and do exactly as instructed to ensure my client, the pets, and myself are all well informed and comfortable.

About: Your pets will be well taken care of under my supervision. I love to run and walk so your dog will have lots of exercise. I am willing to give medications if needed, I have experience from working at ASPCA. I also love to groom and give baths so your dog will never come home dirty, and nails can be trimmed as needed. Animals are my main priority, and I am currently apprenticing to become a full-time groomer. So this is exceptional experience for my resume. My clients shouldn't have any doubt that their pup/fur baby is not taken care of, and I will only be a phone call away if needed. I have a very flexible schedule, and will always put my clients and their animals first. I currently have an open schedule and a house to care for your pets if needed. I'm available anytime and would love to take the time to care for your fur babies! I have a yard with a long runner for pets that need the extra running space. I also provide long walks and minimal training and grooming. I have 6 years experience grooming dogs.
