About: Hi I'm Melissa and I am a 46 mother and homemaker. I am here to make your time away from your pet worry free and accommodate your pet care and/or house sitting needs while you are away. I have plenty of experience over my lifetime and even worked at a veterinary clinic with an assortment of different animals. I have a two month old puppy named Max and he loves other animals. I can provide plenty of references to ease your mind and have a very flexible schedule. I'd be happy to help you through the holidays or any other time of the year you could use an extra hand . Please feel free to contact me at your convenience and I look forward to meeting you and your pets. Thanks for looking and have a great day. I work from home and homeschool my 7 year old, I focus focus on Max's training throughout the day because this is a crucial time in his life where he needs to learn so many things. I make sure my days stay as flexible as they can be so we all get through them as a team and are still laughing at the end of it. With that being said as I am available to board a senior dog or special needs dog but I wouldn't prefer to have one at doggy day care on a regular basis until Max is older and has more training. I have a huge fenced in yard and lots of toys to play with. Max loves it out there and we have a little pool and a doggy house.

About: Calm, relaxing, loving home for your pet! I work from home so am here almost all day and night. Safe and cared for while you’re gone. I have a huge fenced in yard, and additional acres to walk your dog leashed if you’d like me too. It’s quiet here. Your pet will be comfortable in his own space near me. We have no cats living here at this time but they are always welcomed! I will follow whatever walking, and eating instructions that you set for your pet, to keep their schedules as normal as possible to help relieve the stress of being away. Our home is their home! I’m fully insured and able to handle any needs your pet has! I was a certified medical assistant and phlebotomist (blood draws) so healthcare is in my background also. I am self employed and will be home with your pet. Your pet will be well supervised and treated as a part of the family. My home is private, quiet and safe. It is large and has a nice big fenced yard that I will walk your pet in. I will walk your dog every 2 hours and will not let your pet go outside without me. I have two dogs, Latte, a 40lb retriever mix that was a rescue, and is very sweet, but timid around people she doesn’t know, and Gracie Mae, Golden Retriever, that is 6 months old, 50 lbs, and learning to be a gentle not wild sister to Latte! I always safely separate dogs from different families.

“Destiny has been just fantastic. I needed a house sitter to watch over my 10 week old puppy as I could not travel with her. After a meet & greet that went extremely well, Destiny agreed to house sit for the three consecutive days. I could not be happier. Destiny took fantastic care of my puppy, taking her outside for potty breaks as needed, day or night. The regular updates with photos, videos and messages were reassuring and calming for me. Destiny also was so respectful of the house and left it as nice as when she first got here. I could not have been happier with a house sitter for my puppy. Thank you! I know my puppy misses her!”

About: I absolutely love animals! I have 2 dogs of my own and would love to help you with your babies! I have been employed at a dog daycare for over a year now. Most of my job responsibilities are to properly feed, bathe, and clean up after the dogs. I have also been trained to recognize warning signs in dogs behavior such as specific body language! I currently am home from college for the summer. I work a separate job but will update my availability each week with my schedule. My shifts do not take up the entire day so I still have plenty of free time. I will take instructions from you that can cater to your pets needs. I love animals and will ensure they are safe, happy, and taken care of. I have plenty of experience and love for dogs💗

About: I have been dog/cat sitting since I was 11 and its held a place in my heart since. Walking my dog is my absolute favorite past time. Seeing happy animals makes me happy. I bond with every animal that I meet and I hope to meet so many more :) I currently work full time at a sandwich shop and part time and Ace Hardware. I do work a lot, however my real passion is caring for animals. I always make time for my pets, as I would do for yours. I live in a quiet neighborhood, where I go on plenty of walks everyday. I live with my mother who has a 7 month old husky-mix puppy and 3 cats, I have a 2 year old beagle-mix puppy, who is incredibly loving. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

About: Friend to all animals.✨ I have walked and dog-sat two pitbulls (ages: 2 and six months) on a weekly basis since the fall of 2022. My additional clients include mutts, a pug, a belgian shepherd, dobermans, and more, ages ranging 10 weeks - five years. I have stuck with some clients for over a year until their schedules changed or they moved, and with some dogs on a temporary basis. I am intent on working with the owners to adapt to their training methods for their fur-babies and enforcing those gently. Walks are enjoyable for both the dogs and me: I keep it lax and adapt to what they want in that moment. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and fur-babies alike since I was 15, when I would dog-sit and walk for family friends. I’ve had varying dog sitting and cat sitting gigs (both day visits and overnights) since then, some of which included overnight stays. Pet care is great supplemental time with pets and additional income while I full work remotely. I am flexible to work with clients on their schedules/their adorable pets schedules. I am also available some nights and weekends. My top priority besides providing love, fun and stimulation to your pets is their safety: both for their sake and my own. Making sure that we discuss your yard set up especially your fencing, and indoor set up (do you have animal gates/baby gates set up, areas they’re not permitted in), etc. Communication is key and I would love to know what works for your animal: what boundaries are set and what they’re comfortable with.
