About: I have been pet sitting for neighbors and family friends over the summer for years now. I love pets of all sizes and breeds and I’ll treat them like my own. I am home for the summer looking for a way to make money for school and what better way than being surrounded by the cutest fur babies! I have morning and midday availability throughout the week, but I am available on Sunday mornings or Mondays. I work nights for a prospect league baseball team while I’m home but aside from that my top priority will be your companions! I have two sweet pups of my own that I take for walks, feed, and cuddle with. I am willing to do lots of services and will keep them entertained.
About: I have always been super passionate about animals and am in the process of making it my career. Working towards a certification in Veterinary assistance, I am dedicated to making sure your furry friends are in the best care! I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I worked with puppies at one of my previous jobs and used to volunteer to take care of senior dogs. I am great with cats, being a cat mom myself. My cat, Niko is my pride and joy I’m currently working part-time and can work very easily around my job to make sure your pet gets what they need. My managers are very considerate, and if booked well in advance, they will work around what I need to! Caring for pets in my clients home means taking them for walks or playing with them outside. Making sure their area is clean and their toys are cleaned up before I leave, and picking up after them when they do their business outside! Growing up with animals, I am confident in my ability to stop a dog fight or keep them from happening at all. Making sure that if needed, dogs are separated when feeding and that the home stays as safe as hoomanly possible!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my attention to detail, calm demeanor, and experience with a wide range of pet needs—including puppy training, senior pet care, and administering medication. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and specific care requirements, which helps them feel safe and at ease while their owners are away. I’ve worked with pets of all ages and temperaments, including shy rescues and high-energy breeds, and I adapt my approach to suit their individual needs. For senior pets, I provide gentle care, monitor mobility, and ensure they’re comfortable at all times. For puppies, I reinforce basic training, encourage positive behaviors, and provide consistent structure. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, compassion, and professionalism—and I always keep open communication with pet parents for peace of mind. Pet care is a consistent part of my daily and weekly routine. I ensure pets are fed on schedule, have access to clean water, and receive attention through walks, playtime, or grooming, depending on their needs. I prioritize their well-being by observing their behavior and health regularly. Weekly, I handle deeper tasks like cleaning living areas, restocking supplies, and grooming. Caring for animals is second nature to me, and I incorporate it into my routine with the same importance as any other essential responsibility. It reflects my commitment to their health, comfort, and happiness. I have 3 dogs of my own so I understand needing a break! I’m here to do my best and support you at the same time. My dogs each have their own schedules, giving their differences. We make sure they have regular doctor appointments, We walk everyday, We practice socializing and being around other fur babies to practice desensitizing. We follow certain diets and procedures to maintain proper health. And last but not least we take a bath every sunday go maintain our hygiene ❤️
About: I’ve owned dogs all my life and have been a hands on caretaker for about 6-7 years. I’ve also got a certificate from the American Red Cross in Cat and Dog First Aid. I’m available all day Monday through Thursday and periodically throughout the weekend. I’m also available to do overnights Monday through Thursday. I’m available to do short walks, feedings, and potty breaks on the Weekends. I brush my dog once a day and take her outside into the back yard for fresh air. I want potential clients to know that I am prepared for anything. I have a First Aid Kit for Dogs and Cats.
About: I would love to take care of your fur babies! I have always grown up around animals and always took in sick animals in need of care. Our house was never a stranger to any animal, so I have a lot of experience on animal needs and animal body language! My Fiancé and I have a cat named Marty and a dog named Pumpkin! Pumpkin is a 100lb puppy, so you can be absolutely sure I can walk your large fur babies with no problem! I have also grown up with a lot of dogs under 30lbs, so walking smaller dogs is no issue either. I carry with me poop baggies, treats, and a portable water bowl on dog walks. They will be well taken care of and made sure they can enjoy their walk without being bored or thirsty! I hope to meet you and your fur babies soon! I would love to take them on a walk or just provide general care to them, and I am sure they will appreciate it too! I am available all through the week and work weekends. I can take your baby(s) on a walk any time needed. I would love to spend more time getting out into nature and let your baby do the same! I plan to walk your dogs at a park or somewhere dog friendly and safe! If there is a certain place they love to walk above all the rest, I can take them there too!
