About: I have experience with all sizes big to little, grumpy to outgoing balls of fur. I respect their energy and keep them safe. Let’s walk a bit and see if we’re friends. I’m available for early mornings, early afternoons to evenings Sunday through Friday. No Saturday availability. I’m willing to make accommodations as schedules permit most days.

About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats! Dogs that are more trained and have troubles with eating during given dinner hours! I have lots of experience with shy cats and anxious dogs, given my cat has been very shy towards others, and my dog is incredibly anxious! While I do have more experience with cats, I am as much of a dog lover as I am a cat lover! Currently also trying to look for a part time job, but my schedule is all around free besides on super early mornings, weekdays are fair game for me as of right now! Same with some weekends if given prior notices! I will follow any given guidelines and rules to anyone I will be having my services given to! I am a very clean person, especially with animals! I will follow any given diets or routines with what ever critter you may have in store for me!
“Liz is kind and caring. Took great care of my boy.”
About: Woof! Meow? Hello? Oh hi, now that I’ve got your attention! My name is Mae. I’ve taken care of animals when I was younger and in college. I stopped due to working a lot. However I have more time for your best friend(s)! I most cater to cats. However that doesn’t mean I haven’t taken care of dogs and one random fish. I know, why pick me? I love animals with everything and treat every animal as if they were my own. Cats care: I will/can spend a lotted amount of time. I will stay at the house for up to 1-2 hours depending on how many visits you want. Am and/or PM. They will get plenty of play time, or alone time depending on preference. Cat litter will be scooped 1-2 times a day (depending on you, amount of cats or if needs) Dogs care: Same as above minus the litter. However they will get the lotted amount of walks depending on again you and puppers needs! They will get plenty of playtime as well. Can do some basic training if requested. Rodents: I have basic knowledge of some rodent care as I have had 2 hamster in the past. Will brush up if rodent care is needed and will follow any care instructions by you! Boarder PLEASE READ! I will be very picky about boarding dogs in home. I have cats at home so if your dog does NOT like cats please do not request in courtesy of my cats. If your dogs have separation anxiety or cannot be left home for 8 hours (my work day) PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST. I do not normally board dogs but I am very happy to discuss with you if you are interest I am happy to work things out. I have a morning to afternoon job. I can visit pet in the morning if needed. Will be able to spend much more time after work. I promise that in the morning they will be well cared for and get the proper care regardless! There will just be extra, extra loving in the afternoon. I have 4 cats at home. 2 are mine and 2 are foster. They get free roam of the house. Access to food at all times and all the attention (or little) they need. This does however mean that no other pets will be at my home unless due to unexpected emergency (natural). If unforeseen emergency does they will be at my home until you’re return home. Your pets safety will be my top concern.
About: I have never not had a dog as far back as I can remember. I love being around them. From puppies to senior dogs also. As of Dec. 27th I will be working full time, however I can still do walks, drop ins and overnight stays. I can still do morning walks and evening walks. Can walk dogs from a small walk to up to several miles if needed, on a hike and just play ball if needed. I currently do not have a yard to be able to have a dog at my home. Hope to change that in the future as needed
About: I started dog sitting when I was 16 for my friends, family, and neighbors. I have been watching my friends’ and family’s dogs every time someone has to leave their dog at home since then. Dogs have always been a part of my life. I’ve been around them and taking care of them for as long as I can remember. I have experience taking care of all kinds of dogs, small or big, young or old, energetic or lazy. People are always surprised by how quickly their dog warms up to me. I simply just love dogs and I like to think that they love me too. I love helping dog-owners feel peace of mind when they can’t be there to take care of their beloved furry friends. As a lifelong dog owner, I always strive to take care of every dog as if they are my own, as I know how important each pet is to their family. I’m a tour manager for a nationally-touring band. I’m currently home in between tours and have total availability while I’m home. Weekdays, weeknights, weekends, whenever. After establishing what your pet’s habits and mannerisms are at home, I’ll do everything I can to make sure your pet’s routine is kept as close to the same as possible.

She is incredibly passionate about pets and has spent much of her time with furry friends as someone who's both a cat & dog owner & from my time spent generally hanging out with Jamie, she puts a lot of heart & care into not only her own pets, but pets of mine & other friends of ours while treating them the same as if they were her own! Her way of handling cats/dogs & amazing patience of making any animal feel comfortable given the time to spend with even the most energetic or anxious of pets. With her experience, Jamie is someone who is right for pet sitting or pet walking.”
