About: I have had dogs since I was 8 years old and I truly enjoy all the warmth and love a dog brings into a home. I have taken in senior dogs (10+) over the years and had extensive experience with blind, and deaf senior dogs. I have experience with incontinence, mobility issues, special dietary needs, medication injections, and palliative care. I also have experience with young puppies (under 6 months) along with experience doing dog training with my own dogs throughout my life. Both me and my husband have transitioned to remote work so we are home throughout the day, which is excellent for senior dogs who need extra care. I have a partially fenced in yard and live close to several hiking trails. Depending on your dogs needs, the amount of time between potty breaks can be adjusted as well as the amount of exercise given throughout the day. Dogs are all fed separately while water is available at all times. I do have a 3 year old rat terrier (19 pounds) who loves any and all dogs she meets - she has been around many senior dogs.
About: I've been rescuing animals, caring for friends PETS and I have my own pets for years. I love all animals and I love to help others care for theirs. I am off Tuesdays, I'm free after 5 pm most evenings and I'm free most weekends. Flexible as long as it's in or around the neighborhood. I have experience house sitting/pet sitting in my friends homes for years. I'm comfortable feeding pets and giving medications if necessary. Also fine with cleaning up messes.
“Olivia gave outstanding care to my dogs, treating them as if they were her own. She was also an excellent communicator, making sure to send me updates and photos. I highly recommend her.”
About: I absolutely love animals. I have had quite a few animals throughout my lifetime, and I have always cared for them whether it was volunteering, farms, House/petting sitting. I volunteered for an animal shelter for a couple of years, and that was a dedication and joy. I currently work and house sit on a farm with all sorts of animals that I personally would do for the rest of my life. I enjoy going for hikes and being very active, so if your pet(s) is full of energy then that's a plus. I have a flexible schedule and I'm really nice and easy to work with. I'm available any day anytime after 8 am and available for overnight, and house sitting if it is needed.

About: I’ve done rescue work on the side for a cat shelter, including medical fostering. I’ve worked for an emergency/specialty vet as a technician assistant. I have several reoccurring clients on & off of here. Love all pets! I have a 3 legged kitten and have done specialized care for kittens with eye issues and bottle fed kittens.

Everyone is always leashed and I take my time depending on the animals abilities/etc when walking or playing. I’m more than familiar with litter boxes and etc and don’t mind spending time with pets. We always have time for socialization and visiting with people- I frequent some businesses that LOVE to see dogs!

10. Nicole R.
“Nicole loves animals. She helped me learn to give cats medicine at the cat shelter we both volunteered at, and showed great compassion and care towards these sick little ones. I honestly believe she will go above and beyond in caring for your dogs. Be it walking them, and/or caring for them in your home. Her compassion towards animals shows not only in her care, but also in how animals respond to her. She has a fantastic work ethic, never slacking, always putting the animals first. Her care and attention to detail saved two very sick kittens, who are now my daughter's wonderful companions.”
