Pet Sitting Olive Branch

About: I have been raised with a pet by side. When I have born we had two brittany spaniels that have since passed on. In 8th grade, after they passed, we adopted another puppy brittany. A year later, we adopted another, to have our current pair of brittanys. So I have experience raising puppies as well. I play with them outdoors and indoors, brush them, clean up their poop, bath them, feed them, and train them. They also get taken on walks at the local forest preserve for stimulation. I have experience in caring for fish and snakes. Between dogs, I had my cat to keep me company. She is solely my cat, so she got the same attention as the dogs, plus I bought her toys, treats, litter, and food. Outside of my dogs I have pet sit goldens labs, goldendoodles, springer spaniels, and many other breeds. As in my headline, I don't think any animal is low maintenance. That just means the pet isn't getting the care it deserves. I had my cat at my dorm first semester, and I fed her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I made sure to play with twice a day and we played birds on the tv for stimulation as well. I had a weekly schedule to brush her twice a week, and clean the litter box every Sunday and Wednesday. At home I would alternate playing with my dogs, training, and brushing them whenever possible. I can play indoors and outdoors. I can take the animal for walks. Clean up any potential messes, such as muddy dogs or if a cat has a hairball. I can accompany senior pets that need help eating. I can brush the animal. And feed them, and do basic training.

“Alison was great with our 2 cats and 1 dog! From the meet and greet she was able to connect with even the sassy cat. Alison took great care of the animals and was even able to medicate one as requested. We would recommend Alison to anyone and hire her again. Thank you Alison!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10 years old. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I truly love animals and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time during the week to care for and play with your pups. Can't wait to become your pet's bestfriend!!!! I’m comfortable going to your home to care for your pet. I always make sure your furry friend feels safe and loved in their own space. I follow instructions carefully and treat every pet like family.

About: I was raised with dogs my whole life. Iv done everything from helping with birthing to providing comfortable space for our fur babies to go to heaven I’m a stay at home dog mom. I enjoy being at home with my fur babies playing outside/enjoying the weather making happy memories and moments I have a fenced yard and two friendly girl fur babies that love to play with other dogs and get zoomies all around my spacious fenced yard.

About: I grew up with having a dog around the house, so I have always loved being around pets. The last two summers I have pet sat for families while they were on vacation. Some of the dogs I have taken care of have had medical needs, so I am able to give dogs medication if needed. I have taken care of big and small dogs. I look forward to working and taking care of your pet! During the summer I have more availability outside of when I am on vacation. For house sitting services, I am happy to provide overnight care for your pet. There will be times I will leave the home to run errands, go to work, family time and etc. But I will make sure that your pet’s routine is kept in tact and that they get all the snuggles and love they need. I am a full time teacher so once the school year starts my availability will change. I will not be able to provide pet care in my home. But I can provide pet care in a clients home. I am able to provide walks, feed your pet, provide snuggles, and medication if needed. I will ensure the client home stays clean if I am booked for overnight pet care. If it is too hot outside I may limit the time for the walk. I will also bring a water bottle with a bowl to make sure your dog does not overheat.

About: With 17 years of dedicated experience in dog care, I am the proud owner of three canine companions – one over 14 years old and two between 1-2 years old. Specializing in comprehensive care for senior dogs, I prioritize their well-being, and I am equally adept at managing the exuberance of high-energy dogs. Ensuring a hygienic and comfortable environment is a commitment I extend to all dogs in my care, with particular attention to the unique needs of senior dogs, including accidents, diaper changes, and puppy pad adjustments. My comfort level extends to administering medications, accommodating special diets, handling leash-pulling, and caring for larger breeds. I possess valuable knowledge in addressing the specific requirements of elderly dogs, demonstrating proficiency in managing issues like accidents, diaper usage, and the regular changing of puppy pads. I derive immense joy from engaging dogs in activities that balance their mood and energy levels, whether it's long walks, runs, or interactive play. When entrusted with a dog's care, I treat them as if they were my own, prioritizing their comfort, health, and happiness. Confident in my ability to discern any signs of discomfort or distress, I am vigilant as a pet owner and can readily identify when a dog requires assistance. I am fully adaptable and committed to following any special requests or specific needs for the pups under my care. While I may be new to professional dog sitting, my enthusiasm and passion for dogs make me eager to embark on this exciting journey. Rest assured, your furry companions will be in caring and capable hands under my watch. I can tailor the walks or check-ins to accommodate your schedule. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to adjust to the time that suits you best. In my dedicated care environment, safety, trust, and a comfortable setting are paramount for both my canine companions and future clients' dogs. With a senior dog and two energetic youngsters, my fenced-in backyard provides a secure space for them to play and explore. I understand the importance of addressing unique challenges, such as leash aggression, and have diligently worked with my dog to overcome it. I prioritize clear communication, always ensuring others are aware when encountering another dog. This proactive approach reflects my commitment to the safety and well-being of all dogs involved, fostering an environment where trust and harmony thrive.

“Kenzie was great. She visited my home daily to care for my 6 cats for a week and did everything I asked. She’s friendly and trustworthy. Most definitely recommend her and would use her again.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience from working at a doggy daycare.

About: I have been working with and caring for dogs my whole life. Large working breeds to small breeds. I understand dog psychology. I love to work with them and I am in the process of beginning my own company for behavioral modification and training. Give me a call! I am currently working part time as I build my clientele and will have time in my schedule for weekday appointments, I can also take appointments on Saturdays. I have a skill set for handling dogs with great care and positive reinforcement. I currently have 2 of my own 1 Belgian shepherd mix and 1 maltishu mix. I will eventually take in over night boards once I have my building on my property fitted out for it appropriately.

About: I'm not one to boast so I'll let one of my recent client reviews speak for me: From the very beginning, it was clear that our dogs were in the best possible hands. They instantly warmed up to her, and she treated them with the kind of love and attention you'd expect from a family member. She kept us updated with thoughtful messages and adorable photos, ensuring their routine was followed perfectly. It wasn't just about checking off tasks-she genuinely loved our dogs aS if they were her own, and that made all the difference. When we came home, the house was spotless, and our dogs were completely content. They adored her, and it is like they are still waiting for her to come back. She made such a lasting impression on all of us, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found someone so special. ------- I currently work remotely part-time so I have the flexibility and freedom to help others. I enjoy animals, but enjoy traveling too much to get one of my own. That's one of the reasons why I love sitting is because I get to help others when they travel with their beloved pets. It's a nice, temporary swap and change. With good instructions, I make a great sitter especially when given a checklist. I also appreciate a simple outline of the animals' routine so that I can keep their schedule and comfort levels high. I want the pet to feel like their owner went to run an errand and will be right back, even if they're actually gone for an extended period of time.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life, so pet care comes naturally to me. Growing up, we always had pets in the home, and I’ve continued that same love and responsibility into adulthood.

In addition to my lifelong experience, I’ve also worked on Rover for three years, providing reliable and loving care to many pets. Your fur baby will always be treated like family with me. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and am home the majority of the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, supervision, and plenty of playtime.

About: I have begged for and cared for animals ever since I was a child. Always the sensitive soul, I tend to be more comfortable with animals and they seem to be quickly comfortable with me. The bigger the better so it seems! As a yoga instructor and former runner, I crave moving around outside. During the week I have plenty of time to get your buds out for potty breaks & attention, the morning being the extended time for play. While Monday & Tuesday are completely full, Friday through Sunday are completely open. Weekends are when if you need me to house sit, that is an option. Obviously, this is guided by any instructions you give. You know your pet and any little eccentricities they may have. I also go by how they are acting after you have been away for a few hours and their experience with absent family members. In bad weather, I'm great with animals that frighten easily. Even if they do not wish to be touched, I calm my tone and talk more so they know they're not alone. Eye contact if that's something they are comfortable with. Ugh, I sound wacky, but it really is vibe check. Be aware, I have a fragrance allergy which would need to be addressed before overnight care.

About: I’ve had pets all my life. Friends and family trust me to care for their pets when help is needed or when they go on vacation. I’m currently working part-time until I’m off to college in a few weeks. I have a good amount of time to take care of people’s loved furry family members. I have lots of playing area, space, and room at my house. Also lots of grass. I can easily crate if needed or directed by owner.
