About: I've taken care of a variety of my own pets since I was 6 years old--dogs, cats, fish, turtles, chickens, ducks, even sugar gliders! Sliding into the role of a pet-caretaker is a role that I am confident in, and my neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me many times to fulfill this roll. I am a full-time student, which has allowed me to develop an excellent sense of time management. Your pet will be my priority during the duration of their care, whether that be one day or one week. Care for each pet depends on your wants and needs for your furry friend. I am able to take pets to field trips to ideal outdoor walking spaces, travel to and from your home based on the needs of your pet, and am comfortable providing overnight care.

About: I have taken care of multiple types of dogs for many years. I absolutely love dogs of all types but have a personal passion for bully breeds. Good with dogs ranging from seniors to puppies. I work full time but from home so I can fit just about any needs into my schedule. Animals are my passion so they will be taken care of, couldn't imagine treating yours worse than I would treat mine. I can make sure I am spending time with your animal in whatever capacity you need, providing entertainment and positive enforcement of the most desirable behaviors.

About: I’ve loved and cared for a variety of animals throughout my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, a parakeet, hamsters, gerbils, rats, ferrets, fish, a bearded dragon, and a red tail boa. I LOVE animals.

I am a mother of two teenagers, and have been a small business owner, so I am extremely responsible, reliable, caring, attentive to detail, and have the skills to do anything necessary to care for your pets. I am available most of the time, and my time is flexible. I recently sold my half of my small business and am now taking some time for myself (that I want to fill with animals!), so I am almost always available and flexible. We have a fenced in yard, but we also live in a beautiful historic neighborhood and love taking walks around the neighborhood and to the park as often as possible.

About: Growing up from an early age my family and I have always had dogs and cats. The first dog I was around consistently was my grandmothers, Buddy. I loved her with all my heart as a child and followed her around constantly. When I was young I got my first cat Oscar. He was a calm but talkative orange tabby. My mother then got Adam to give Oscar a friend. My first dog I got from a local shelter, Lulu. Over the years I had a few more. A newfoundland Bernie who would wait patiently at the water bowl for the cats to be done. Norman, a black cat who had an old man meow. A German Shepard mix, Guthrie who was a ball of energy from day one, and 2 dachshund mixes, Joe and Axle who look completely different from each other but follow each other everywhere. After moving out of my mother's house eight years ago I slowly kept taking in cats, currently with four, Charles, Maddie, Dexter, and Luna. I firmly believe having pets to love is one of the best parts in life. I currently work full time on a split second/third shift job but am looking at schooling for a trade. I have three days off a week where I do most around the house and garden. Mornings and early afternoons are always available for me. I have a four foot high fenced in yard, chain link with a latch for any dogs I may be watching as well as tons of cat toys and a new 6 foot cat tree.

We are available to pickup your pets as well. I have a fenced in back yard with three dogs and a dog friendly cat to keep your pet company. We were very picky on who we let take care of our pets and into our home and will treat your pets with the same care, responsibility and respect we expect from our dog sitters when we take a long weekend.
