17. Sarah B.
About: My name is Sarah Bavoux. I have been working with animals and gathering different work experiences for the majority of my life time. To name a few: Horse barn hand, horseback riding in almost all disciplines, veterinary technician assistant, kennel technician, animal keeper at Knoxville Zoo, Customer Care Representative at the Dubuque Regional Humane Society. I have provided care for almost every kind of pet, small to large. Up to large livestock, like horses, donkies, bison, and elk. I majored and studied Animal Science at State University of New York Cobleskill and the University of Tennessee Knoxville I currently provide regular care for miniature donkies, horses, dogs, cats, bison, elk, and chickens 🐔 I am working towards my dream of becoming a theraputic riding instructor. With the goal of providing equine assisted theraputic services to those who have mental and physical disabilities as well as military veterans. Thank you and I look forward to providing care for your fur baby! My current schedule varies week to week. And often day to day. Please reach out to me with requests as soon as possible, so that I can prioritize your requested needs. Thanks! I currently do not offer doggy daycare at my home. However, I can drop by your home and provide care for all pets and/or walks outside. I can feed, medicate, let out, water, etc.

19. Pam C.
“In a sea of inexperienced teenagers and wannabe dog owners, Pam rises above the rest. I've known and used Pam for years as my dog caregiver simply because she is the absolute best. As a lifelong dog owner, she knows everything when it comes to diet, exercise, discipline, medication, and playtime. I rest easy on vacation knowing that my dog is having her own vaction when she is with Pam. I assure you, you will not find a more loving, responsible, and compassionate caregiver on this site.”
20. Isabella B.
About: I have 24 years of experience taking care of animals. Most of it personal. I do have almost 3 years of professional pet care. I currently work at a grooming assistant/groomer. I am trained in administration of all sorts of medications including administration of insulin. Best number to reach me will be the 505 number. I no longer have the 972 area code in service and I can't remove it for some reason. I am currently a grooming assistant/groomer and currently working friday-tuesday from 9:30-5:30. Occasionally days tend to get canceled, run longer, or even shorter. Most of the times it depends on how the pet does and how many pets there are in a day. For the safety of your pets I would recommend I stay at your home as one of my dogs can be aggressive/reactive with new dogs. Should there be no other options my dog is kennel trained and can be in his kennel and alternate turns getting attention and going outside. I have a fenced backyard but will take pet on leashed walks around the neighborhood or have supervised playtime in the yard.
