“I'm felt very comfortable with Kim from the moment I met her at the Meet & Greet. I knew she would be perfect for the drop in visits. I had two scheduled on the same afternoon/evening. Kim was punctual, sent pictures of Charlie and let me know what they had been doing. Charlie looked active and happy in the pictures. Overall, a great experience and I will definitely schedule Kim again.”
About: As an animal person since birth I work hard to understand the specific needs and wants of each animal family member. I have worked with a wide variety of animals my whole life, in vet clinics, animal rehabs, farms, and homes. I can provide walks, hikes, senior care, interactive play time, personal attention, socialization, and general bathing and maintenance. I am incredibly intuitive and patient and pride myself in providing unique adaptive care to each pet. No pet is too big or small; too young or old! I care for all species as well. (dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, etc.) All animals deserve love and care! My work schedule is currently very flexible so most days are available at any time. I make sure to keep my calendar up to date. The safety of your pet is number one. I am more then happy to put in time to build trust with your pet. I even have a very patient dog of my own who can provide a friend to your dog or cat and help with socializing young or nervous animals. I not only care for your pet but your home. Any mess made by me or your pet I make sure to clean!
About: Lifetime of experience, including dogs with behavioral challenges and special needs. I've volunteered at local shelters, and I've fostered rescue dogs in need. I have quite a bit of experience with dogs of every background! I am currently a college student and taking some time off of work to focus on my studies and would like to make some extra cash to help pay my loans/carry some weight at my family's house. My family has quite some land, and although not fenced, I am very active and always run with my own dog on a leash. I do 30 minutes to an hour walk twice a day. Potty breaks are very consistent.
“First time using this app and was very happy with Laikin. Arrived on time, gave her her medicine and spent time with her so I could enjoy my vacation. Would definitely use again. Thank you!”
About: I have been regularly pet sitting for the past three years, and have sat for various friends' pets in the past. I have cared for senior pets and administered medication. I understand that having the "parents" away can be a stressful time for a pet, and I do my part to ensure that the pets are as comfortable as possible while under my care. I am an artist/freelance designer and side gig virtuoso (that's a fancy way of saying I make my own schedule). I keep things flexible to adapt to different environments. I believe that animals are healers and that we get back the care that we give to them. I am deeply grateful that I get to have the freedom that this and my other gig/freelance work allows me. I hope that is reflected in my care and respect of the clients' home.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was a child. Neighbors, friends and family frequently ask me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I enjoy all dogs. I work part time so, I have plenty of time to love on and play with your pups! I’m also available for boarding. I live close to a dog park and have yard for outside play time. I can also crate your dog if needed. Dogs are allowed on furniture.
About: I have always grown up with pets and farm animals and I have great experience with both. I have great references from friends, family, and even people I have met from dog sitting for them. I am also certified for Pet CPR and First Aid. I am currently employed part-time at Hibbett Sports in Jackson. Currently, I am going to school for my Bachelor’s in Middle Childhood education. This allows me to have a free schedule for pet sitting. I usually stay with the pets so they get the love and attention that they deserve during my time watching them. I try to send updates on the pets every 1-2 days to help the owners feel more comfortable while they are gone from their fur babies!
About: Over the years, I have built a reputation as a reliable and caring dog walker and pet sitter, looking after both small and big dogs for multiple friends and neighbors. My experience spans various breeds and temperaments, ensuring that each pet receives personalized attention and care. Whether it's a quick walk around the block or extended pet sitting services, I provide peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their furry friends are in good hands! As a nursing student and extern, I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate any pet parent's needs with proper notice. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, and I take pride in being able to balance my responsibilities while providing exceptional care for your furry friends. My reliability and dedication ensure that your pets receive the attention and love they need, no matter how busy life gets! When taking care of a client's pet in their home, I make sure to follow their rules and wishes to the letter. I understand that every pet has its own routine and preferences, and I am committed to maintaining that consistency. From feeding schedules and walking routines to playtime and specific care instructions, I ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure while you're away. Your peace of mind is my top priority, knowing your furry friend is in familiar surroundings and well cared for.
