About: I have had dogs ranging from 5-120 lbs throughout my life. We have fostered shy dogs, energetic dogs, and everything in-between. I am familiar with administering time sensitive medication, and I am perfectly confident with specific instructions for care. I have a dog wash set-up that we utilize for our own furry friends, and I would be happy to extend that to yours as well! I spend intentional, one on one time with every dog that stays here, and I make sure they have plenty of play time, couch time, and playful interaction with other dogs (if they're social!). Your fur baby will feel like they're on a mini vacation. I work from home with a flexible schedule, and am able to give a ton of one on one time to each dog that is in my care. I love taking them on walks, too, so if that is something your pet needs, please let me know! I have a fully brick walled back yard, and 1 dog of my own. He is fixed and gets along very well with the ladies, but he likes to be the only boy. If my services are requested for a male dog, I am able to keep them separated with 100% confidence. If your dog gets along with other dogs, they will absolutely be able to run around in our yard. I have experience with intact males and females as well as spayed/neutered ones, and can and will keep dogs separate if needed/wanted. We have a dog bath, brushes, blankets, toys, and balls, but please feel free to bring your own! While I do have cats, they are kept separate from the dogs, so there is no risk of them interacting. I do not offer drop-in services for dogs.

About: I have 3 dogs of my own right now and I've always loved animals growing up . Family Doggy Day Care offers a welcoming environment where pets are treated like our own. With extensive experience in pet care, I provide personalized and attentive care, I prioritize constant communication and attention to detail. My flexible services, reliability, and genuine love for animals make me a trusted choice as your pet sitter. I prioritize pet care by dedicating specific time slots throughout the day for feeding, walking, playtime, and providing overall attentive care based on the pet's needs and routine. I'm a stay at home mom. I have plenty of time to spend with my pets. I like to stick to routines as much as possible with my animals. I usually wake up around 7am to let my babies go use the bathroom and run around then they come inside and eat their food at their leisure. Safety, trust & environment If your pets tend to be escape artists, we have a seperate room as well as enclosures outside to insure they will not get away. I also have a big yard where they can run around or just lay under a tree. Accomodations are made for them to sleep inside or outside the house, with me and my dogs. You can bring your own doggy bed or they can always borrow one of ours! Pets will have access to a secure, fenced yard for supervised outdoor playtime, with plenty of shade from trees. a comfortable and pet-friendly environment will be provided, including cozy sleeping areas and access to fresh water. We will prioritize the safety and well-being of the pets at all times, closely monitoring their activities and interactions. Adhering to any special instructions or dietary restrictions, I will maintain a clean environment, regularly cleaning up after pets. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

About: I have grown up with numerous pets of different sizes since a child. Having my own dog I understand the essentials of dog care and take pride in the effort I put in to make sure his needs are met. Every pet deserves to be cared for as much as they care for us. I look forward to meeting your amazing pets and doing all I can to ensure they receive every bit of care they deserve! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I have availability in the mornings, some lunches, and afternoons. I prioritize their needs alongside my own commitments, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in their homes, I ensure the pet goes potty as many times instructed or needed, they eat their food with any medications needed, they get plenty of loving, and go on any walks requested.

About: I have been house/pet sitting for about 3 years for a few families in town! I have experience with small dogs, bigger dogs, and special needs dogs. I am prompt to feed them, take them outside, or give them medicine if needed. They are important to me and I will love on them any chance I get! I am a stay at home mom but can always make time for your pets! I have lots of help here in town so I will never need to take my child with me to care for your pet. I don’t have a strict schedule, so I can basically help at anytime of the day except late at night! :) I have always taken care of pets at the owners home. I am very attentive to your animals needs and will love on them as much as they want. The families I pet sit for never have any problems!

About: I have raised all types of animals and I have watched peoples pets for them for over 6 years now. My main dog I watched for a couple years was a 17 year old blind poodle so I have experience with special needs. These are not just pets to me they are family. My own dog I have had since he was born and he will be 12 this January. He is my first born child. I have tons of experience with small animals and cats as well. What sets me apart from other sitters is my compassionate nature and love for animals of all sizes and types. I'm a caring loving mother not just to my children but to all species as well and I can not wait to hear from you!

About: I've always loved and cared for a variety of animals. Even fostered for rescue helping over 13 pets, one year, find their forever homes and not having to stay in the shelter. I arrive at every job with my teen who has been joining me on every job since day ONE in 2021. Doing this has allowed us to be better suited to finding a comfort zone per pet. If they are more comfortable with her, I can sit back and not force your pet to deal with uncomfortable situations in your absence. If they are more rambunctious and need firmer control, I am able to step in and keep everyone safe. But the teen lives for claw tats and is not fearful of animals either. We want to know what makes your pet unique and happy. What comforts them and what to avoid. What is their favorite treat and their biggest fear. Are they ok when thunder happens or do we need to hold their paw? Your pets become our family while you are away and we are happy to send you obsessive amount of pictures, provided the app doesn't freeze up on us, and updates. We're not afraid of asking questions for clarity. We have not met anyone too complicated yet, and we are happy to work with adjusting schedules. Military, medical and work can all change on a dime, and we're here for it. We understand that we live in a spread out area and we can work something out that works for everyone. We generally respond quickly and are open to answering questions. We can't wait to work with you and your family, see you soon!! I am a single mom looking for ways to keep up and still be available for my children. As such I am also very available for your pets needs as well. I am not able to care for pets in my home at this time. I do plan to open these services up when the possibility arises though.

I’m comfortable administering oral medications (including non-chewable pills and syringe liquids) and always handle pets with patience and care. I’m especially great with puppies—whether they’re working on potty training or building confidence through positive reinforcement. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I work on Cannon AFB with a Panama schedule, however, I make sure to have my profile updated weekly for your convenience. Use link: https://www.rover.com/sit/hannam01192 for $20 off your first booking with me! Feel free to send any special instructions for your pet—I’m committed to following them closely. I always prioritize keeping your pet’s routine as consistent and familiar as possible to minimize stress and help them feel comfortable to build trust with me, especially when adjusting to someone new.

About: I've had dogs everyday my whole life growing up, mostly big dogs. I have two large dogs and I help watch my pastors dogs frequently. I am a stay at home husband (temporarily) until my Air Force wife moves us to New Mexico. My schedule is very open and I love dogs, so why not play with dogs for the time being. My dogs are Crate trained, and I respect your dogs and property as if they were my own. Do right by others, even when no one is watching.
