Pet Sitting in Mount Ayr

“Hannah loves animals and it shows through her services. She kept me up-to-date during the entire duration of my dogs stay and drop ins and even did more than I could ever ask of her. She played and walked with them and my dogs demonstrated an entirely different demeanor when we came home, in a good way :) she is now my forever sitter!”

About: I truly believe pets have the sweetest souls and can form the best bonds with us, which makes them not just our babies, but our best loyal friends. I have had pets in my home my whole life and I can't imagine it any other way. From snuggles to playing or walking your dog ( if hired for dog walking) I will treat them as if they are my own, with love and attention. I love the many personalities of each fury friend and getting to know each one and connect with them. I am currently working part time during the day but can adjust my schedule. To do drop ins in the early morning, afternoon's and evenings! Feel free to message me so we can work something out! I am not currently offering pet care in my home however I am happy to come to your home for drop in visits and dog walking!

About: I've had many years of dog experience. Working in a dog Inn, I've met dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments. From very anxious pups to reactive older dogs, I can garentee your pup will be well loved under my care. I've been doing training for several years, we practice positive reinforcement training in our home. My own pup is special needs, being born with megaesophagus. It is important to me to make sure your pup feels safe and comfortable in my care, and if your pup needs some special attention I will happily help! Im working a part time job, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! Any day of the week, no matter of early or late. If your dog was to stay in our home, we have a lovely half an acre yard for them to play in. I have two friendly pups in my home, but I also have two extra rooms. So if your pup wants to be alone and play, my dogs will be put away in their kennels while your pup is around. If your pup needs to be kenneled, that works too! They would have a quiet room to be kenneled in. Making sure your pup is comfortable is our biggest priority, whether it's in my home or yours!

“Lee did a great job caring for our three cats and guinea pigs. Leaving town is extremely stressful for me given how much I love my animals, and her care made the experience much easier.”

About: I have taken care of all different types of pets, from farm animals, to house pets you name it I can handle it! I am able to care for any type of pet. I currently have a full time schedule available for your needs Starting in September I will be in a full time will still be looking to care for pets. I have a very large fenced in yard with 3 other dogs. 2 Doodles, and a small mixed breed. Rest assure your pet will be treated with love.

About: Ive cared for all different kinds of furry friends, big, small, young and elderly. Each one needed a little different and unique kind of love, but figuring out what make they happy and exhausted is my favorite part. From high energy breeds to cuddly couch potatoes, I enjoy spending time getting to know every single pet the best I can. I primarily work weekends, so I have lots of free time during to week to check on and play with youre doggos. I have limited availability on weekends, but can sometimes work visits in. I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe and loved in their own environments. Each pet has a different routine, whether it's feeding, walking, play time, or taking medication it's important to stay consistent in order to help them feel relaxed. Sometimes dogs can play all day, it's important to take into consideration their health and well being, so even if they still want to keep playing they might need to take a little break sometimes.

“Erika did an amazing job with my dog. It was my first time using Rover and I was hesitate about the process. Erika easily worked me to get both me and my dog comfortable and ready for her drop in visits.I came home to a happy dog! I would highly recommend Erika, I will be using her again! :)”

About: I've taken care of pets since I was about age ten. I see animals as part of the family as my pets have been some of my greatest companions over the years. As an educator, I am home full time for the summer months until early August. Once school begins, I am available late afternoons and evenings. I have two crates, one small for cats and one midsize for dogs. I can crate your dog if needed. I have a small room that they can sleep in to give them privacy. I enjoy walking pets and caring for them daily.

About: I've been taking care of dog for as long as I can remember. I'm able to take care of/ watch dog from puppies to seniors. I've watched dog with and without disabilities, and I know how to administer medications from pills to shots. I also know how to preform cpr and the heimlich if needed. I currently have a part time job where I get to choose when to work. So I'm able to spend time with the fur babies whenever. I'm very respectful of my clients homes, and I follow rules that they set of me. I like to keep my clients updated on what's going on with plenty of photos, and I always try to make sure the fur babies I'm watching have a good time.

About: The care I have for dogs goes above and beyond. Wether it be small dogs, or big dogs, i’m always up for a challenge. I have had experience with both small and bigger dogs. I used to have a pug named Daisy and a bull mastiff named Buddy, just to give notice of the difference in size I have accustomed too. I have since gotten a black female pug named Nova, who will be 7 on July 16. I also have two big breeds, Charlie, who is a german shepard/lab mix, and Daisy, who’s a mutt. I have always had a love for animals, especially dogs, since I was only 6 years old. But then again, what kid hasn’t? Nursing school takes up half of my schedule, so that leaves the other half to love up on my own pups (or even yours!) Owning 3 dogs may seem like a lot of work, but it’s the craziness from it that keeps me sane. Going from owning a lazy, sleepy pug, to an energetic crazed lab, I’ve gotten accustomed to caring for dogs with different needs. I feed my dogs two meals a day, while also maintaining time to make sure they are playing enough to get their energy out. I attempted to crate train my dogs, but at the end of the day, I think they want cuddles more than I do! I can be lenient, but stern when it comes to behavior or needs.

About: I’ve taken care of animals and dogs ever since I was a child from horses, to geese to dogs. I’ve been a dog owner for over 10 years from senior dogs to puppies. I love animals and want to provide their home away from home. I’m a part time nurse. The same care and compassion that I give my patients I will be sure to give your animals.I treat every animal as of their my own and my house is their house. I’m currently employed part time working 1-3 days a week. My hours are flexible and fluctuate leaving valuable time for all pet care needs. My pets and your pets are a priority. I have 2 dogs of my own to keep yours company and have play time. I do not have a fenced in yard however have an acre lot and plenty of area where I may take your fur baby for a walk and potty breaks. I have two children who love dogs as much as I do and can’t wait to love your fur baby like their own. I treat all pets as part of the family and will be loved as such. If my dogs are on the couch yours will be as well!

About: I’ve always grown up with some type of pet being included in the family. In the past I have Owned large & small dogs including some with separation anxiety so I would say I’m decently experienced in caring for animals. My love for animals is extremely large & I’d love the chance to utilize my free time caring for your animals while you temporarily are out of range. Animals are very important & sometimes life can get a little chaotic unexpectedly And you may need an extra hand.. that’s where I come in! I’m fun,loving,caring,patient& understanding. I’m full of energy & spontaneous so play time /walks will be no issue at all. I’m hoping to find a family that will love me and need me regularly to care for their pet(s) I have plenty of lint brushes so hair is no issue at all either! Hope to hear from you soon! I work through out the week but still have plenty of time to take care of & play with all the pets through out the week & weekend I have a big yard for your pups to play in & no animals of my own so the attention is endless for you babies
