About: I have had dogs my entire life, and taken care of them in full for my family, friends and neighbors. I love four legged furry friends; giving them walks, playing with them and making them feel comfortable. I have always adopted rescue dogs so have a good sense of how to take care of apprehensive dogs, as well as hyperactive or dogs that need more attention and a patient trainer. I have amateur experience training dogs and have learned tips from my sister who is an experienced dog trainer and dog walker. I have chickens at home and have cared for furry, scaled and feathered friends in the past, I love them all. I am patient and loving when it comes to taking care of animals and hope you will consider me to take care of your best friend(s)! My partner and I have recently lost our best furry friend and I would love a reason to get outside more often with my favorite animal (dogs!) or any animal at all. I currently work full time but am off on Sundays/Mondays as well as evenings. My job allows me to leave midday as needed. If I can plan ahead with a care schedule, I have no issue fitting walks/care as needed. I personally have always had free range dogs, but have experience with free ranging as well as crated dogs. I am comfortable working with contained pets as well; chickens, other birds, snakes, tarantulas etc.
“Stephanie was AMAZING! She was very proactive in setting up a meet and greet beforehand and asked questions that helped us get to know her. She kept us updated the whole time on how he was and sent photos and pictures to us. She even filmed our pup opening his Christmas gift since we were away for the holiday. Went we came back our house was just as we left it and clean. She even put our recycling and trash at the curb for us. She also left a note and cute little chalkboard for when we got home. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Mandy did such a wonderful job taking care of Brownie while we were out of town. It was Brownie’s first stay as an only dog as his sister recently passed the rainbow bridge so we were nervous about leaving him for so many days but Mandy eased the worry. She took many photos and gave regular updates. We will 100 percent use her again.”
About: I have taken care of pets ever since I was young, grew up with more pets then I can count on both hands and they always needed attention. I am free for many hours of the day, and can take care of pets from the crack of dawn till the wee hours of night I can provide your pet with all of the usual pet care help, including walking, sitting, playing, feeding and I can help with some small grooming or bathing if needed.
“Therisa stayed overnight for us to keep an eye on our 3 dogs and 4 cats. Two of the dogs are pretty high maintenance and one of the cats has to take meds. Everyone seemed happy and taken care of when we returned the next day! I also received many pictures which I so appreciate. Therisa has great communication. We will definitely be requesting her for future sits!”
About: With over 12 years of petcare experience and multiple indoor pets myself, I think it's safe to say that I love animals! Situated on a 1 acre property, with a fenced front yard, this could be your pets getaway while you get away! Because I have grooming and training experience, I could be your one stop drop! I am a freelance pet artist, therefore I have plenty of time to have fun and interact with my animals! We enjoy walking in the lovely Baldwin bike trial and playing in the yard! I'm practically available all day any day! I have a fenced front yard and 4 lovely rough coated collies! My dogs are very social and love to play! Fun in the sun during the day and crated at night! For pick ups I currently have a Ruffland intermediate kennel for car rides to keep your dog as safe as possible!
“Sebrina was very responsive and able to set up a last minute meet and greet and help us with our lab when our dog sitter fell through. Our lab Zoey loved her ! She was on time and sent us great updates and pictures would definitely recommend her !”
About: I have tons of experience with animals, some of which have been my own. I currently own a black lab and German shepherd and have owned a Pekinese and tabby cat in the past, meaning I’m comfortable with all sizes of pets! I have pet sat for both family and friends, with no problems each time. I have worked with dog trainers at my previous job as a pet store manager and am aware of dogs’ body language and how to properly interact with them. I am in a very unique position where I work a remote, work-from-home job. This makes me available all days except Wednesdays. This allows me to be able to work around pet parent schedules and stay longer with animals! As already mentioned, I have some dog training knowledge. I have trained both of my dogs and even my horse. I’m comfortable around any size dog and would treat each one as my own. I am well versed in handling multiple situations. I follow directions very well and will do as pet parents wish.
