About: I have taken a wide variety of dogs from a Chihuahua to a German shepherd. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, give medications and play with their dogs. I have also stayed overnight servers different times. This has given a wide variety of experience with different cares and types of dogs. I am currently looking for part time summer jobs. I am fairly flexible and could work a variety of days and hours. I am able to pick up jobs at a short notice. I have a two weeks I would not be able to work but am free the rest of the summer. I am not currently in an apartment that would not suite dogs. I am comfortable and have experience with pet care in the home. I would be able to stay or night or visit throughout the day. I can walk, play and crate dogs if needed.
About: Since I was a child, animals have been a part of my life. In the summer when I was not in school, I would bathe, walk, and feed pets in my neighborhood as a hobby. And now that I am older, I have applied that enthusiasm to my current career. Hello! My name is Grace, and I am an extremely outgoing person who is always eager to meet new people and animals. I have a lovely cat named Jasper and a loving dog named Maze. In addition, I have worked for two years at the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo, where I care for a variety of species such as birds, lizards, and aquatic animals. There I have the joy of meeting animals all day, so I hope I will be able to see yours too very soon! I am working part-time at my current job so I can spend time with your animals Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday all day cat sitting, overnight sitting, and drop-ins. It's crucial to respect and adhere to my client's privacy, house rules, and especially their pet security requirements no matter what my opinions are. I always think it is a great idea to ask before taking action.
About: Our family has taken care of friends’ dogs and cats for four years or more. We are now offering our pet services to more ‘07 neighbors. During summers we are available at all waking hours of any days we’re not on a family vacation. During the school year we lose family pet minders during the school day but are available after school and on weekends. We have experience letting ourselves into owners’ homes while they are away to feed, walk, and let pets out for bathroom breaks. We also have a large fenced in yard occupied by our very friendly golden retriever to share with dogs who will treat him well.
“Lydia did a great job watching Fiona! She was flexible and helped me adjust the time that I needed her services and guided me through the steps to extend her services which was very helpful!! She took care of our dog just like it was her own dog and we really appreciate that!!!”
About: Through and through Hoosier here. I am originally from Decatur, IN but relocated to the beautiful '07 of Fort Wayne! I went to college at IUFW for Medical Imaging and completed my Bachelor's degree. I am pursuing this opportunity to explore and familiarize myself more with the community - as well as all the amazing pups! I grew up with 3 dogs and a cat, so I am well versed in the fur baby community! I currently have a full time job Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday so I am looking to pick up some pet care work on Tuesdays and the weekends! I have a fenced in back yard as well and a large basement suited for caring for animals in an overnight manner. I do have a cat that lives in the house who will be on the second story.
“My 2 cats were nervous and hid under the bed when she came to visit. She worked with them and spent time earning their trust. She sent pictures each day. and her communication relieved much stress from leaving my cats for a week.”
“Brittany was great with our dogs!”
About: I grew up with always at least six dogs in our care and two cats. I also have had experience rehabbing orphaned puppies and kittens, as well as some wildlife. I used to be a senior foster for hospice care, so I’m used to going above and beyond for comfort and high needs for animals! No request is too much for the good of the animals :) Because I’m a teacher, I’m especially looking for summer availability right now, as I’m typically wide open during this period. During the school year, I have varied availability. I have two friendly dogs and four friendly cats. My backyard is fenced, and my neighborhood is wonderful for walking with many winding sidewalks and beautiful trees.
About: I have been pet sitting and caring for my own pets and family/friends pets for about 8 years now. I can walk, feed, bathe, administer medication, and play with your furry friends of all kinds. I am a school teacher on summer break so my daily/weekly routine is very open to care for your pets. I am free almost every day! If coming to your house to take care of your pets, I will make sure to keep your furry friend feeling as safe and comfortable as possible. Whether through use of a crate, harness, leash, etc, I will make sure they are well cared for.
