Pet Sitting in Paxton

About: Hi there! Pet lover of all types here 👋❤️ My own diverse animal family includes a chihuahua, a cat, a green cheek conure, and backyard ducks. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats, and some more exotic animals–just ask! As an added bonus, I offer a complimentary service to ensure your pet returns home refreshed! Dogs who enjoy bathing will receive a complimentary bath. For cats and dogs who prefer or require it (such as long-haired breeds or those who dislike baths), I will still provide a complimentary brushing session! As an online master's student and stay at home parent, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate pletentiful time and attention to your pet's needs. My days are structured to accommodate frequent check-ins, playtime, walks, and feeding schedules–ensuring your pet receives consistent care and companionship. My home provides a comfortable and stimulating environment for your pet. I have a large yard where dogs can enjoy plenty of playtime and exercise. I also live in a friendly neighborhood with safe and scenic walking routes. My own friendly chihuahua provides companionship, but he can also be crated for dogs who prefer their own space or need to be separated. I am very aware of dog dynamics, and will keep all dogs safe and happy. I follow your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, playtime preferences, and any specific instructions you provide.

“We were happy to find the cats and chickens all well when we returned. Thank you, Stephanie.”

About: All my life I’ve grown up with a variety of different pets, from cats named “Refrigerator”, an Iguana named “Dude-Man”, and your average Joe of a dog. During these years, I’ve learned that each dog, cat, and iguana has specific needs unlike any other of its kind - whether that’s extra love, time to be an introvert, or health care. I have skills to do basic trainings with dogs, as well as a strong skill in consistency to make sure your pet’s training you’ve worked so hard on continues to be worked for under my care. I’m a college student located at Indiana State University. I’m free nearly every evening and have a very flexible schedule to leave campus and ensure your pet can get the attention it deserves. I enjoy a written list of what your specific pet needs- just to make sure I hit every mark. I grew up with my grandmother, so I know how to respect a home!

“Cathlene came to our rescue when we needed someone to do a couple drop ins on our pets! She was punctual and did great with communicating back and forth.”

About: I’m usually the first person my family calls when they need someone to care for their cutie pets while they’re away. As a grad student and pet owner myself, I understand the emotional support that animals can provide! Pets are family members and I understand what it takes to look after family. I send daily photo updates and report back any information requested. I have experience maintaining training schedules for puppies. I’m diligent at following care plans and requests. Overall, I truly to enjoy connecting with animals and their owners alike! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and considering me. I’m currently working towards my graduate degree and have a flexible daily schedule. I am able to stop by routinely (in between classes or internship commitments) to take care of your pet! I am available most weekends and weekdays. My schedule is subject to change in a few weeks with the start of a new semester. My goal is to continue the quality of care that your pet is used to. I want to reduce the amount of stress they might experience in the absence of their loving owner(s)! Keeping their routine as similar as possible is key. Meal times, walk times, crate/no crate, on/off furniture, treats, etc. are all things I try to attend to. I am open to specific requests your pet might need!

About: I am a mother of 4 with lots of animals. We have 4 cats, 4 dogs and 6 chickens. I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 8 years old. I love animals of all kinds and have helped train several rescues. I am a stay at home mom. I don't have many set plans and can take breaks to do whatever is needed. I love animals and love spending time with all types. I am able to walk or feed and love on dogs or cats whenever needed. I am open to any type of animal and can accommodate for most things.

About: I have watched beloved family pets for many friends and family during my life time. Being an animal lover myself, I know that your pets are family and I make sure to treat them as such! Growing up with family dogs and cats, and currently our funky boxer dog Rufus, I know what it takes to be a successful animal sitter and how much love they need. I work a full time job, from 9-4:30 pm Monday-Friday with the exception of one remote day on Wednesdays. Most pets are used to this schedule. I will ensure they will have potty breaks first thing in the morning, during my lunch break at 1, and then once I return to the home at 5. And then several throughout the evening and before bed. I will care for your pet in the environment they feel the safest in… your home. By allowing your animal to remain at home, it eases their stress and anxiety and gives them a comforting feel of familiarity. No need to pack up enough food and treats for the week. I will be happy to follow your thorough instructions on how to care for your pet.

“Super super sweet young lady!! Very easy to get along with. She’s extremely flexible and most understanding. Great communication too. Gonna hire her again because both her snd Zeus adore each other! She really likes to have conversation with you over texts. She is a caring person. Love her!”

“Rebekah was prompt, responsive, responsible, resourceful, so caring, considerate, proactive, took pictures to give us updates, & called us with questions. She helped figure out a solution when our puppies had escaped their pen while we were out of town. What a relief to have her there!”

About: I've taken care of dogs for years in all stage of life. I'm not afraid do give them medicine if they need it. I love walking so it's always nice to have buddy with me. I also have experience with senior dog. I get up do around check for my own fur babies. Refill they bowls and give them one of their berry biscuits then I will take them out for a walk before I leave for work. I go by what the clients want, if they have specific routine for their pets I follow it to the letter. I always carry my own doggie water bottle when I take them on walks to make sure they don't over heat. Plus I try my best to walk them under a shady route in the summer so they're paws do get burned on hot concrete

“Deborah took care of Buddy at my home, she sent pictures and played with him every visit. I have used her twice so far and will in the future.”

About: I have 15 years experience pet sitting. My previous employer had five dogs that I loved dearly. I would stay with them when she was out of town, take them to vet appointments, walk and tend to any special needs they may have. I also volunteered at shelter. Helped with socializing cats and dogs, feeding, cleaning cages and walking dogs. I recently bought a home, relocated to Dugger,IN. I'm now available to pet/house sit for clients, near my new home. I'm available, to work full time, house/pet sitting. Availability open & flexible. I will be pet sitting in the clients home, each clients specific care instructions for their pets will be followed. I find it important and helpful to talk with each client, to fully understand the needs of each pet, clients expectations. My goal is to have all pet owners feel at peace, while they are gone, pets get to stay in their own home and receive loving care they deserve.

About: Hi! My name is Desi. I want to tell you a little about myself so you know who is caring for your fur kids. It is my passion to work with dogs, cats and all creatures. My career started 20 years ago at a Humane Society who I was with for eight years. I worked as a vet assistant for several years and then went on to manage at a canine campus. Now I’m working for myself in caring for animals. I have worked with most medical conditions that dogs, carts and other creatures may have. I have experience with dogs who have special behavior or temperaments. If your animal has special needs or temperament, I have the time and patience to get to know your pets needs. I love all animals and have no discriminations. I look forward to meeting your fur baby(s) and building a wonderful friendship. My schedule varies so I’m open to discussing this information when I’m contacted in regards to the dates someone may need a pet sitter for. I house sit, I don’t do in home sitting in my house currently. But always ok with discussing further information. Iv done in home pet sitting for several years.

About: Trustworthy and reliable! I’ve always been someone that my friends and neighbors could leave their pets with and expect them to be properly taken care of. I own two dogs, Bear and Elli, that I travel full with full time. We have landed back in Bend in search of a more permanent home. Elli is a firecracker of force when it comes to chasing down and catching a frisbee! She has a huge personality and huge tongue!! Bear is a “tug-a-holic” that would pull me into next week if given the opportunity! We usually will take the dogs on walks and perform some kind of training criteria at least twice a day. As I am eager to dive fully into dog training, I felt it necessary to get my hands on more dogs to better understand the needs and interests of each dog in my care. I am looking forward to being of service to you and your beloved pets! I currently have two dogs, a 4yr old German Shepherd and a 2yr old Belgian Malinois, so dog care and advanced training is a daily activity. Playtime and training look very similar in our life. My dogs are fully house and crate trained with stellar recall and obedience skills. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, routine, and well-being. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs, from feeding schedules to favorite activities, ensuring they feel safe and secure while their owner is away. I maintain a calm and structured environment, providing enrichment, playtime, and plenty of affection (if they enjoy it!). I also have experience with training reinforcement, medication administration, and managing multiple pets in a household. Cleanliness and respect for my client’s home are equally important to me—I always leave things as I found them. My goal is to make each pet’s time with me stress-free and enjoyable so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away!

About: I have had the privilege of having / taking care of animals since I was about 5 years old. I have taken care of many different types from horses and cattle to dogs, cats and birds. I love the many personalities and it is rewarding to have a new fur friend. I currently have flexibility with my work. This means I have availability to care for your fur babies during the week days. I may have possible availability during the weekends. I have an outside fenced in pin for your fur baby to enjoy some alone time in the sun. I can also crate the dog if needed. I have two friendly dogs that I can have play to help keep them company.

About: I'm patient and love animals. I have a Mini Aussie so I can handle animals with lots of energy. Cats are welcome too of course. I'm currently in between careers. Have plenty of time for wonderful pets. I love animals and enjoy learning from them. 1 dog, 4 cats home. Unfenced yard plenty of room to play in. Very careful watcher. I pay great attention. Have 1 dog and 4 cats. Not directly in town.

About: I love all animals. I especially love dogs and cats. I have worked with animal rescue groups and I volunteer my time to help shelters and their efforts. I have had dogs and cats all of my life. Mostly large breeds. I am comfortable with any large breed. I am also very patient with dogs that are still learning. When I am walking a dog I am fully focused on them and do not try to rush them. I help reassure them if they feel anxious or unsure of their surroundings. It should be an enjoyable and healthy experience for the dog and for me as well! I would like to have several regulars that know me and are excited to get a routine going. Having a relationship with the dog and owners is important to me so everyone can feel comfortable.

“Alanna was really professional and did w really good job with scrappy. Showed up on time and went above and beyond what was asked of her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needed services on here.. shes one of my dogs new sitters for sure.”
