About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have taken care of family and friends dogs multiple times and have the care and compassion that is needed to make dogs feel loved. I’m currently doing my internship for my college degree and need some extra compensation to afford the bills and figured walking and looking after dogs is the perfect way to do it since I already love all dogs and this wouldn’t even feel like a job in the first place. I’ve learned every dog is different and they all need different forms of care and will do anything asked or needed to make sure your loved one feels comfortable while you’re away.

THANK YOU, Paige.”
About: I have been dog and cat sitting for 16 years. I have never met an animal that I didn't like or vice versa. I have 2 dogs of my own. I can administer medicine. Rates are negotiable and I suggest doing a meet and greet with me. Also, inquire about MORE. I have plenty of time to entertain and keep your animals safe while you vacation, work, or family emergency. I suggest doing a meet and greet with me EVEN IF you do not have any upcoming travel plans. You never know when you will need a sitter last minute. I have bee pet sitting for 16 years. I I also always take in all of your amazon packages I am fingerprinted by COJ and FINRA.
About: I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, counter surfers, etc. I have a dog park down the street if that is a part of your dogs routine and grooming supplies on hand if you'd like your dog to be clean and smelling fresh the day they're due to go home. I never stop learning about dogs so you can rest assured knowing you have one of the best looking after your pets. I have a wealth of knowledge, experience, tools, and equipment to ensure the best possible stay. I am a stay at home mom and am home everyday. I employ what I describe as the perfect balance of a dog being in a home setting it's used to while also having the security on the individual dog level of a kennel boarding facility. During the day the dogs get as much play time as they prefer and the weather will allow. I wake up early and the first thing I do is take all the dogs out to the backyard. The entire yard is available for any dog once I get familiar with them and their behaviors. My goal is to eliminate as much chance as possible of escaping, fighting, over heating, fence aggression, getting into things commonly found in backyards such as trash cans, etc. while also making sure they are fulfilled mentally and physically each day. For your pets sleeping or daytime napping arrangements I try to mimic their home routine as much as possible. I have one large kennel in my home reserved for dogs that are used to being caged at night or they can stay in bed with me and get all the cuddles. No other dog can try to steal their food, your pet won't eat another pets food which is great for dogs with sensitive stomachs, and it virtually eliminates the possibility for any resource guarding behaviors. The 4 foot by 4 foot space is good for one large or two medium sized dogs or 3-4 of small/tiny breeds. I have one 4 foot wide by 8 foot long kennel for Giant breeds or for two large dogs that sleep together. I also use these kennels if I am stepping out of the house for a short period of time so I can supervise and make sure every pet is safe for the brief time I am away. I go above and beyond to make sure every dog enjoys their stay in the safest possible manner. They have someone who understands their nature and fulfills their needs. I am in the military with a wide open schedule. I absolutely love all pets and have always cared for them. I am open to house sitting, dog walking and drop in visits. I love walking the dogs and getting all their built up energy out. I am amazing at following directions, doing what is asked and needed and going above and beyond.
About: I’ve had all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, lizards, hamsters, and more. I’m not allowed to have any pets where I live now, so I have endless patience for everyone else’s pets. I miss having animals in my life so I’m grateful for the chance to keep your pets happy while you’re away! My schedule is very flexible. I work from home so I can go to clients’ homes and stay with pets for a couple hours or stop by a few times a day. I’m also available most weekends. I’m unable to care for pets in my home but at clients’ homes I plan to follow all their rules and spend as much time playing outside with dogs and playing inside with other animals as possible.
“Donna did a great job taking care of my 55lbs dog for the drop in visits. She played with him, walked him, even did a little over time for him. She also sent detail report, pics and videos. Definitely recommend Donna and her services.”
