About: I raised a stray German Shepherd/Akita pup from 3 months to 13 years. She taught me many lessons in behavior, training, food restrictions, special food regimines, medicinal application, and specific routines. I also understand giving someone mulitple pages of instructions when leaving my animal in someone's care. I aim to create a connection with the animal and make it as if they are home with their loved ones. I work in the schools on a hybrid schedule so I am out of town one week every month. I am also starting at a new district this year so am still learning what my day to day schedule looks like. Whether it be in my own home with a fenced in backyard or at your house, I will be sure to care for your pet in the way that you desire.
“Love the photo updates of our pups. I really appreciate Alexx not only checking on my dogs but also spending some time with them! I could tell they were well taken care of and they both really like Alexx! :)”
“Payten was amazing with my five month old kitten! I was nervous about leaving him for 8 days over the holiday but he seemed to do just fine from the messages and photos Payten sent me while she was house sitting. I will defiantly utilize her again if the opportunity comes up!”
“Annabelle was on time, very thorough, and very communicative. I will use her again if the opportunity arises (and if she is available 😉). Not to mention she allowed me to book her almost last minute. My cats and I are very pleased with her.”
“Sarah has dropped in to care for our two kitties a few times now, and always does an excellent job! She sends us cute photos of them, communicates very well, and we can tell they are very well taken care of.”
“Dee is THE most WONDERFUL pet sitter EVER!!! The care, attention to detail, follow up, professionalism, communication and the love she has for her job and her furry clients. The daily photos and updates kept me totally relaxed while we were away. Thank you Dee!”
About: I love animals! I am not a dog parent myself, but I have lived with several different dogs and cats. I often spend time with and take care of the pets of my family and friends. I dog sit for my cousins often. They have 2 dogs: an black lab and a Australian shepherd mix. I love animals but unfortunately I cant afford to have a dog of my own and can't have them in the house i live in currently. I can walk, play with and drop in to feed your dogs, or watch them in your house. I will love and cherish your dogs as much as you do. I would love the opportunity to help care for your dog. Thanks for taking the time to consider me.
About: I have worked at stables, vet clinics and volunteered with rescues. I'm a "human" Nurse, but my skill set transfers easily to animals. Care, patience and tons of love. I am capable of administering medications, and skilled at special needs for dogs. I work M-Th 6-4. I am available for overnight stays, primarily on weekends! Overnights on weekdays are for animals that can be home alone during my work hours. I have lots of energy to engage and play! I do need to be able to leave periodically to check on my doggo at my own home and go out to eat, so no separation anxiety pets please. I have an escape artist dog at home. My senses are keen. I am always aware and would be the same for your pet/pets at your home. A watchful eye!
About: Been a dog person since birth! I’m happy to tailor walks and check ins to your dog’s specific needs and conditions. If your dog is older we’ll take strolls at a “sniffing the flowers” pace. If your dog is fast and energetic, I would love to take them out on a jog or up some local trails. I’m in school currently and typically have to leave the house once a day for a 3-5hr block. I find out what that block of time is at 3pm the day prior. However if your pets are on a strict routine or need meds at specific time intervals I can block those times off on my schedule to keep it consistent for your loved ones. I am comfortable with all dog sizes. With that being said, I would like to follow whatever habits you have been trying to establish with your dogs at home. Some things I would like to know: Are your pets allowed on furniture? Does they have any allergies or medical conditions? How do they react to other pets? Other people? These are just some of the things I like to take into consideration when taking caring for your pets. I am happy to take your dog on a walk, a jog, or perhaps even rip around on a skateboard with them if they're comfortable with it!
About: I worked as a vet tech for two years and am currently a conservation scientist. I have owned and cared for my own dogs for 15 years and had many pets growing up. I have also been a pet sitter on and off for four years, including horses, chickens, and other farm animals. Finally, I fostered pets through college for two years! Photos include pictures of my foster pups! I prefer to bring my friendly, non aggressive and non shedding pup Zola with me! She’s very used to dog sitting with me :) I work M-F 8-4pm, so could not be with your pet weekdays during those times. I am available most weekends and will update my calendar accordingly. I can walk your pets, take them into the yard, or take them to the dog park. As a prior vet tech, I am comfortable with elderly pets and pets that need medication/injections as well.
“Janis was amazing with our cat Em. She had Em sitting on the sofa with her within minutes of arriving at our home....a true cat whisperer. It was also nice to receive photos of Em, while we were gone. When we returned home, the house was tidy and all linens washed, which was very thoughtful of Janis. We will definately use Janis for our catsitting needs in the future. Thank you Janis!”
About: I've taken care of animals over the last 20 years. I currently have 3 cats and a Rottie puppy. My animal companions are my world, so I understand the importance of finding a trusted person to provide your animals the love and attention they deserve. I'm happy to be that person. * I do not have a fenced yard, but I do have a 20x20' dog run area on a 2 acre lot.* I'm currently home full-time. I spend a lot of time outside with my dog, caring for my chickens, gardening and DIY home improvements. I have a relatively open schedule to incorporate a routine that fits your needs. For check in visits, it will depend on your pet's needs. I'm a versatile person, so if you have a low energy dog that just wants love and attention, I'm happy to do so. If your pet is more high energy, I can spend time playing. I do have a rottweiler, so I am comfortable with larger dogs.
About: I’ve been pet sitting and doing check in’s for neighbors, employees, customers and the community for almost 5 years now. They rely on me to care from their pets as my own. I currently work full time 6-2:30 during the week. I am not able to leave to fun breaks. After work I usually spend the rest of the day with the animals. I am able to give medication, I’ve had a few experiences giving shots, I can make homemade foods and also have experience with older pets.
