About: I would be happy to keep up with your energetic dog or snuggle with your lazy one. Looking forward to helping you care for your dog!

I can help with feeding, walking, playing, giving medicine, and most importantly snuggling.

About: I had a chocolate lab. She passed away in July 2020. She was 16 years old. She was on medicine and had a couple surgeries so I am used to taking care of older dogs with meds, etc. I do have 5 cats and they are very spoiled. They are outdoor/indoor. They range in age from 9 yrs-2 yrs-old. I believe in daily exercise for animals, I even walk the cats! I am available very early mornings 6-7am and in the evening from 7pm on. I am also available on most weekends. I look forward to seeing your pet and helping you out! I have a full time second shift job. I will be available in the mornings before 3:00pm and most weekends all day long if needed. I am currently not boarding any pets due to my cats being very spoiled and particular about who they have around the house. I will give the best care to your pet in your house. I believe in exercise and a good diet for your pet and also the occasional treat.

About: I have experience with a variety of different pets including but not limited to cats, horses, rabbits, dogs. I love loving on my own fur babies as well any others. My place is not yet ready for doggy daycare, but I don’t mind making the trip to care for fur babies ♡ I work a full time job which definitely keeps me busy, but I’m available after work most days. I have a fairly flexible schedule on the weekend. I own a cat, a snake and a horse. I live just outside of Chesaning. I’m very patient and loving with client’s pets and treat them as my own. I also make it a point to stay tidy.

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have taken care of them as well. I’m currently in school to be a vet tech so this is what I’m best at! I’m currently a stay at home mom but I’m available for check ins/walks throughout the week and the weekends. My schedule will be updated often. I prefer to come to your home for check ins and pet care. I feel the pet will feel safer in their own home and environment and won’t be so stressed in a new place with somebody they aren’t familiar with.

About: I have had cats my entire life and have helped care for all of them. I have always loved dogs so much I jump on an opportunity to spend time with them! I work from home, so I will be available all different times of day depending on what is necessary for your fur babies! I am able to work with whatever the animals current schedule is easily. As far as care in a clients home I am able to do whatever is needed to make the animal comfortable and happy. Putting them in their crate, feedings, walks, potty breaks, attention, play time, giving them medicine in pill or food form, etc.

About: I have had pets in my house my whole life. We had cats, dogs, horses, fish, and a mouse over the years. I am a sport dog trainer so I have tons of experience with dogs. I have trained multiple puppies and taken care of many senior dogs. I also exercise my dogs regularly so there is no doubt your pet will be well taken care of. I also offer training services and photography of your pets upon request! I am a college student so I spend most of my time at home plus I have a passion for dog training so I love being able to stay home and do what I love I have a house on a quiet street with a large fenced in yard. I have a whole room dedicated to my dogs. I have large crates so your pet can have tons of room wherever they are. I also have a camera in my dog room so I can see them even when I’m not home. All of my dogs are friendly but can be crated when your dog is out if you prefer! My dogs are also good with cats. I have a van with crash tested crates for traveling If needed.

About: I am now working part time giving me the flexibility to give your dog companionship and exercise while you are away! We can play outside in our large back yard. Our yard is not fenced, however we do have a boundary collar(invisible fence).Our home is in the country near a great dog park and Hartley making walks plesent and fun. I love brushing and bathing dogs so let me know if that something your pet needs. I would love to spend time with your dog. My family would make sure to provide plenty of play time, snooze time, and bathroom breaks. My schedule can be fairly flexible, but I can organize a set schedule for your pet also.

About: Hi, I'm Lexie. I am high-masking autistic, which for me means that I look and sound pretty "normal" but my brain is structured differently. My special interest is dogs! Mainly behavior but also history, breeds, care... Anything dog. I am a dog-trainer-in-training currently pursuing certifications that will help me teach dogs with behavioral issues that the world is ok! I am experienced with multi-dog homes that need "crate and rotate" care, "hands off" care, puppy care, and if you leave instructions I could do just about anything- I am not bothered by reptiles, amphibians, non-flying (pet or feeder) bugs, although I am nervous of birds. I'm very detail oriented. My background in home healthcare ensures that your home and pet(s) will be respected, and I am comfortable administering oral or topical medications. My availability is from 9am-5pm Monday-Thursday, Fridays from 8am-3pm. On Fridays, my 5 year old is home with me and will likely accompany me to drop-ins. She is dog savvy (for her age) and is respectful of dogs and cats, but since she is small I can only visit cats and well-mannered pups! I am a fan of cooperative techniques. I would rather spend 15 minutes strategizing how to entice "Fluffy" back in their crate than try to force them. For potty visits, I prefer to clip a long drag line to the dogs harness or collar- just in case they don't respond to a recall from me, or if there is any chance at all they might make a break for it! That way, we can still play and have fun, but with a safe guard in place. For walks, I will always want to specify if you are wanting a structured walk or a sniffari, or a combination. Structured walking is only available to dogs that already know how to walk on a loose leash. If you are interested in loose leash walking, that is something we can work on! For feeding or medications, I will need exact instructions! How much food, what you use to measure it (example: 1 full scoop with the blue cup on the counter, 8oz raw thawed in fridge, fill up the black kong, etc), and amount of supplements or extras. For oral meds, please specify if it needs to be "hidden" and what to hide it in (wet food, pb, etc.)

About: EMMAL85170 is $20 off your first booking! Open availability, experience with big dogs, I have walked many dogs in different weather conditions and also have had them stay at my house. I would be home or available most of the time to care for your furry friend. I grew up with all different types of dogs and I would treat your dog as if it were my own. I will try to stick to your pets normal routine to make them feel safe and secure. Please let me know if you need anymore information! I know it can be tough going away leaving your animal behind; even if it's just going to work, school, etc. I will do my best to meet the needs of your animal as well as yours! I am currently only dog walking right now for employment. I don't have a set schedule and am very flexible with times, days, weekends, and holidays. I base my care of pets on the service, location, personality, and needs. Every pet is different and I make sure to stick to what they like and their routine if they have one.

About: I’ve helped foster animals of all kinds for the past 10 years. I know basic training for dogs or puppies along with care for scared cats. I can treat sick animals calmly and take care of bathroom issues continuously. I work a part time job only 3 minutes away. I am a home body and like walks with animals. I am in school part time online. I care for every animal with love and generosity. I will be dental and caring for any animal I come across. It’s my goal to let an animal feel save and provided for.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 4 years old. I’ve taken care of many types of animals including, medically disabled, elderly, and infant. I’m currently working 2-4 days a week (part time hrs) at my job as well as going to college twice a week. I’m able to make stops before and after work as well and before and after classes. I can also stay in home if wanted. My main priorities are making animals feel comfortable and loved. I want them to know that I am a safe person to be around. For my animals at home I always make sure they are fed on time and played with to the fullest extent. Sadly animals don’t have the longest lives so I pride myself on making their lives the best possible!
