“Tasha was super communicative and did a fantastic job sending pics/videos of our dogs!”
“Kaylee has started doing weekly walks with our dog and she has been great to work with! She's quick to respond to messages, flexible, and fun to chat with at pick-ups/drop-offs. We are looking forward to continuing to use her for walks, doggy daycare, and boarding in the future!”
About: My family and I have just moved to the Kalamazoo area from Tampa, FL, where I worked as a full-time veterinary assistant for several years. Additionally, I have accumulated hundreds of hours volunteering at animal shelters. Between these two, I have developed skills that allow me to be comfortable caring for all kinds of animals, and allow me to help those with specific needs, such as medication/fluid administration, first-aid, aggression/anxiousness, puppy/senior care, etc. Feel free to reach out with any questions! :) I am currently working part-time as a vet assistant. I have wide-open availability Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, and I'm available Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays after 5pm. Long walks, extra love, and positive "good boys/girls" all around. It's important to me to be patient and understanding with any animal, and really listen to what it is that they need. I have no issue interacting with animals who may be reactive, anxious, aggressive, or all of the above.
“Hunter was great with Dot. Very patient and loving. With no fault of his… the snow storm prevented him from doing his walk visit on the 5th. However, We will have and look forward to using Hunter again. Very happy with his communication and commitment.”
About: I have watched a multitude of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, lizards and even alpacas. I love training dogs and would gladly help train puppies and even older dogs. I am also experienced in giving medication to dogs and cats. I am on call for a doggy daycare so my schedule is completely free to pet sit any day other then Tuesdays from 3 until 6. Unfortunately I can't watch pets in my own home because I personally have a few pets of my own. I walk my dog every other day and bring him to the dog park on the opposite days and I will gladly walk your dogs every day or bring them to the dog park to play. I also have a cat of my own. My cat has a very sensitive stomach so I am used to cleaning messes and giving medication.

I own a dog so I know the importance of fitting their care into my daily life. My dog is allowed on our furniture and is crated at night due to his snoopy nature when no one is looking... I make sure to have play time with the animals as well as lots of cuddle time!
About: I have been taking care of animals for quite some time now! I have pet sat for neighbors, friends and family while also having pets of my own.

I am available Thursday - Sunday during the day from 7am-3pm. However some weekends I am unavailable. I prefer walks that are 20 - 45 minutes but am willing to accommodate. Pet care is my number one priority. Keeping your animal safe and following any directions, you as the owner provide, are very important. However, it’s also important to recognize what your animal may need and do what is best for them.
