About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, and naturally when I was old enough to start working with them I did. From the age of 10 I volunteered with the animal clinics; walking dogs, cleaning up after them, medicating them, feeding them, bathing them, even sometimes having to help restrain them. I started learning how to work with dogs from a young age and when I was 15 I started working as a kennel assistant/worker at a veterinary hospital where I eventually gained more responsibilities and experience in the veterinary field and became a vet tech through experience. Even though I work a full time job M-W, I work from home. I am also a stay-at-home-mom, so I am almost always home. When I am not actively interacting with my dogs I like to give them enrichment toys. If were outside we go out for an hour or so every 2-3 hours. If I know it's a stay in the house kind of day we feed through games. I love taking my girls for "adventures" every chance we get for socialization, even if that means we just go sit at the ball park and sit and watch. I have an unfunded yard, however I have 3 tie outs and a large outdoor dog pen. I have a small house, but I have an attached single car garage that has been converted into an extra room for the dogs. I have 2 friendly dogs that will be able to keep your fur baby company.

I have 2 cats and it was my first vacation in over 7 years. Pete did a wonderful job. Even my neighbors said I made a good choice with him. I installed cameras just to be safe and we all loved how he talked to them and played with them and their toys. I was so relieved I could enjoy my vacation knowing they were taken care of.

Rachel did a great job with drop in visits for our night out of town. She communicated well and has clearly spent a good deal of time around dogs as she knew exactly how to handle our dog that can be intimidating to people. The dogs seemed happy when we got home. We will definitely use Rachel again for future trips!

Was nervous as this was my first time using someone I didn't know to watch my kitties but Alayna was wonderful and made me feel very comfortable to leave them in her hands. She took lots of pictures for me and they had a great time with her, will definitely be a recurring customer!

About: Pet owner for 10+ years Used to farm animals and herding breed dogs! When I was a kid I would walk dogs for our local shelter, handling all kinds of dogs of different sizes and temperaments. I can provide 24/7 attentive care for your pet! I am only home for evenings on Tuesday and Wednesday but my Fiancé is home during the daytime :) I have a very large fenced in yard for your dogs to run and play! My dog Guppy can play with your pet or be kept separate. I can feed your dog in the crate if necessary. Dogs are allowed on the couch as long as they are potty trained. We do have a cat in the home, who can be separated to a different area of the house if necessary.

Lauren came to the rescue during a really chaotic time in my life. I was dealing with a lot of major change and needed to find a sitter ASAP. My dogs can be a handful and I was really worried about a stranger coming in but she blew my expectations out of the water and I'm so grateful for that. They warmed up to her right away, and I knew right from the meet and greet that it was all going to work out. Her schedule was flexible and fit my needs perfectly. She always left me detailed visit notes and updates too which was awesome. I would not hesitate to highly recommend her services to anyone needing a trusted sitter! 😊❤️

About: I have had pets since I was a kid, and all through my life I have had some sort of animal. Big or small, I have tons of experience with all kinds. Now, I have 14 fur/feather/scale babies of my own and I am going to IVCC to getting my associates in science and majoring in wildlife bio. I am out of school for the summer and looking for anything really. Full time or part time. And any time of the night or day is fine with me. I have 14 pets, no dogs or cats, but I did have plenty of them growing up. Right now we have 6 birds, three different kinds, ((3 of them are house ducks)) a snake and the rest are smaller animals rabbit, piggy's, ferret etc. The rabbit is free roam, the birds and other animals all have their own free roam/fly time. Our house is on a set schedule as soon as the sun peeks through, lol, the ducks let us know, it's time to get the day started. Due to us having this many kiddos, we do plan long days ahead of time so everything is adjusted properly so everyone is taken care of. I am no stranger to getting dirty or dealing with any type of mess. Depending on the weather, we are outside as much as possible with a number of them and always trying to find new ways to keep their little minds engaged.

About: I was always the go to person for pet sitting in my family. Growing up, we always had at least one dog in the house. And I was fortunate enough to have had one for 16 years. Her name was Bear. She was the best family dog anyone could ask for and I miss her very much. She is the reason I love taking care of animals so much. Recently, I have become very fond of cats and live with 2 of them. They have stolen my heart and take care of them every day. I also have two reptiles which are my whole world. No matter what animal, I would love to take care of them. I’m the sitter for you! I am in between jobs at the moment so my schedule is very flexible right now. I am very open and honest so I’m very willing to for the schedule that’s best for you and your pet! I am not offering services in my home. As much as I would love to, I rent and cannot have a lot of animals staying with me. I’m sorry for the inconvenience!

About: Ever since I was little, I have loved animals. I grew up with at least one pet in the house since I can remember. Animal care is basically second nature to me now, and I would love to spread that care to other's pets! I currently have a part-time job, so I have plenty of time for your pets! Taking care of pets has always been the norm for me, so adding more pets to my schedule would be so fulfilling! Having my services in your own home is the best way to keep your pets calm, safe and worry-free. Everything your pet needs is right there!
