About: I’ve been trusted with the care of animals since I was very young, from birds, dogs, cats, ferrets, and more. I love every animal! I like focusing on the animals favorite activities and/or special needs so if they have any let me know! I am available whenever you need me! I currently work part time so my schedule is pretty open for any of your pet care needs While I do not offer services in my home, I will be able to care for your fur babies to the fullest extent wherever it may be

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've been taking care of animals most of my life and sitting regular for the last 5 years. I moved to Clovis and want to continue taking care of animals in Clovis and surrounding areas. I look forward to meeting many more animals and families!! Feel free to message me with any questions!! I am not currently working so am able to be very flexible to play with your pets! I can even take last minute requests if your schedule changes. I watch pets at their house so they are comfortable and in their own home. I love walking, playing games, working on training with pets.

About: I have pet sat for family members and coworkers. I’ve also cared for pets while babysitting and/or housesitting. It is so much fun for me!

I am free most days and evenings, so I could send lots of time with your pet! I would prefer to sit in your home to keep your pets comfortable and interrupt their schedule as little as possible! I do have two sweet goldendoodles who love company if your sweetie needs to stay with us, though.

About: I look at each fur baby as a true being with real feelings. They need attention and love and that’s my biggest goal and concern. I want to make sure they can barely notice their parents are gone for a moment. I think their health, safety and happiness are at utmost importance. I am always up early and I enjoy taking walks as well. I also love to stay busy, so even for quick potty breaks it doesn’t stress me in the slightest. I am happy to be of help anytime I am needed! I think providing a safe and comfortable environment for your baby is so important. I will always aim to make sure they have their own space so they can slowly become themselves around me over time.

About: I grew up on a small farm in rural Ohio raising cattle, goats, and chickens, and I always had a four legged companion by my side. My passion for animals began before I learned how to walk. I enjoyed training our dogs before I even knew that it was a job. I spent many days shadowing our local veterinarian just for fun. After separating from the military last year I became a veterinary technician in Clovis but now have big dreams of starting up my own rescue. I have fostered dogs and cats in the area for four years now and would like to extend my experience and care for animals to all those in the area. As long as your pet is in my care I can promise that they are safe, loved, and comfortable! I am available for all offered services weekdays and weekends. This is not only my passion but my number one priority. I am very flexible so don’t hesitate to reach out! I have two extra rooms I use if your pet would prefer to have it’s own space (or even just decompress), a fenced in backyard, a pool if they like swimming, and my own dogs and one cat to play with if they would like! I also have extra crates and plenty of toys and beds/blankets.

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 taken care of and loved dogs since I was very young! With being in the process of getting a zoology degree to someday be a vet I love and take time with every animal I come across! When caring for your pet I will take the time to get to know them more than just feeding, it’s important to me that you pet gets the best care!
