“Dana is a wonderful caring person. Granted she is taking care of my easy, laid back fur baby but he likes her and that’s important. She is dependable and listens to any special instructions I might have. She is also flexible with her calendar and scheduling changes. I would highly recommend Dana and will continue to use her services as needed.”

About: I will take care of any pet, as I love all animals. I rode horses in college, and I volunteer at the humane society on weekends when needed—I’ve spent 150+ hours at humane societies working with dogs and cats!! I will make sure your pets are happiest!! Pet care is one of my main jobs. Feel free to ring me up anytime day or night for your pet care needs. Truly 24 hours for contact. I give fresh water and food every day. I will pet them and play with them if they want, or leave them alone if they want to be left alone.

About: I have 2 cats I've cared for since they were kittens and they are both extremely happy and healthy. I've helped petsit cats with behavioral issues, helped train my roommates dogs, and our old family dog as well. I've also helped neighbors with their pets since I was very young. I'm currently working part time, so I'm available outside of days I work. When I'm at home, I'm usually doing chores around the house or doing some crafts. Of course if my animals want attention, they get it, and so would yours. If I'm coming into your home to take care of your baby, I will treat the animal and environment respectfully. If your pet is shy, I'd take it slow with them until they were comfortable with me.

About: I’ve loved animals ever since I was little. I’ve worked for two dog kennels that have provided me with efficient responsibility for the fur babies of other individuals. I have a dog of my own whom I consider to be my best friend. Any time with a furry friend makes me happy. I have part time availability for the summer. I work a full time job during the year as an educator that has a set weekly schedule. I live in a home with my pets therefore I cannot provide day care. I can offer sitting and drop-in services. I can provide walks locally near your home or at a nearby park. I have plenty of references that will help you feel comfortable with my experience as an animal lover.

About: I got my first dog when I was 11 but as soon as I moved out I got my own fur baby, Jax! He is a black lab, chow chow, and Chinese Shar-pei mix (yes I did the genetics test, I had to!). He is the light of my life. I also have a rescue named Roo who I adore. This is when I realized the value and love pets bring to our life. I have also worked on horse farms and have cared for reptiles! I know how to handle emergencies and dogs with specific needs. I hope to meet your fur baby some time whether it be for a walk or a drop in visit! Hope to hear from you soon! I work from home so I’m very flexible, especially if you’re close, I can come in my lunch break or before or after work. I have my own vehicle as well. I’m going to follow your care plan as you give it to me so I can care for them as close to you as possible. Whether that involves training, crates, whatever it is, I’m here to back up the care you see fit for your fur baby!

About: I have been working with and caring for dogs my whole life. Large working breeds to small breeds. I understand dog psychology. I love to work with them and I am in the process of beginning my own company for behavioral modification and training. Give me a call! I am currently working part time as I build my clientele and will have time in my schedule for weekday appointments, I can also take appointments on Saturdays. I have a skill set for handling dogs with great care and positive reinforcement. I currently have 2 of my own 1 Belgian shepherd mix and 1 maltishu mix. I will eventually take in over night boards once I have my building on my property fitted out for it appropriately.

About: With 17 years of dedicated experience in dog care, I am the proud owner of three canine companions – one over 14 years old and two between 1-2 years old. Specializing in comprehensive care for senior dogs, I prioritize their well-being, and I am equally adept at managing the exuberance of high-energy dogs. Ensuring a hygienic and comfortable environment is a commitment I extend to all dogs in my care, with particular attention to the unique needs of senior dogs, including accidents, diaper changes, and puppy pad adjustments. My comfort level extends to administering medications, accommodating special diets, handling leash-pulling, and caring for larger breeds. I possess valuable knowledge in addressing the specific requirements of elderly dogs, demonstrating proficiency in managing issues like accidents, diaper usage, and the regular changing of puppy pads. I derive immense joy from engaging dogs in activities that balance their mood and energy levels, whether it's long walks, runs, or interactive play. When entrusted with a dog's care, I treat them as if they were my own, prioritizing their comfort, health, and happiness. Confident in my ability to discern any signs of discomfort or distress, I am vigilant as a pet owner and can readily identify when a dog requires assistance. I am fully adaptable and committed to following any special requests or specific needs for the pups under my care. While I may be new to professional dog sitting, my enthusiasm and passion for dogs make me eager to embark on this exciting journey. Rest assured, your furry companions will be in caring and capable hands under my watch. I can tailor the walks or check-ins to accommodate your schedule. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to adjust to the time that suits you best. In my dedicated care environment, safety, trust, and a comfortable setting are paramount for both my canine companions and future clients' dogs. With a senior dog and two energetic youngsters, my fenced-in backyard provides a secure space for them to play and explore. I understand the importance of addressing unique challenges, such as leash aggression, and have diligently worked with my dog to overcome it. I prioritize clear communication, always ensuring others are aware when encountering another dog. This proactive approach reflects my commitment to the safety and well-being of all dogs involved, fostering an environment where trust and harmony thrive.

About: I wholeheartedly cherish and adore pets, as they bring immeasurable joy and companionship into my life. Their unwavering loyalty, affectionate nature, and ability to understand and connect with humans on a profound level make them invaluable members of any family. The unconditional love they provide is unparalleled, and I believe that caring for pets is a truly enriching and rewarding experience, one that brings happiness and fulfillment beyond measure My pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I ensure regular feeding, exercise, and playtime, as well as grooming and health check-ups. I prioritize their well-being, setting aside quality time for bonding and training, which strengthens our relationship and brings us both joy and contentment. As a pet care provider, whether in my own home or my clients', I prioritize the welfare and happiness of the animals entrusted to me. I tailor my services to meet their specific needs, which may include regular feeding, exercise, and play sessions. In-home care involves maintaining a safe and comfortable environment, adhering to their daily routines, and administering any necessary medications. Additionally, I ensure ample companionship and attention to alleviate any anxiety they may experience when separated from their owners. My ultimate goal is to create a nurturing and loving atmosphere for the pets under my care.

About: I've owned, trained and cared for dogs since I was little. I have experience with administering medications and making it as pleasant as possible. I also have some experience with basic grooming and love to brush out long haired dogs to help with shedding. I have a pup of my own that can be high energy but loves other dogs and can’t wait to play with your pup. I work from home so I am free to help out any time of day. I can be flexible on hours and usually I am able to go on short notice. I will spend time with your dog so they get the attention they need. I can take your good girl or boy to the dog park, on runs with me, or anything else that your furry family member enjoys. My dog loves all other dogs and can’t wait to play with yours. I have a large fully fenced backyard that is great to play and have fun.

About: I would say that I’m a fairly laid back person who loves all animals and enjoys getting to know them and discovering their different personalities. They’re kind of like excited toddlers in that way. Each having their own unique personalities and needs. I’d love to have pets of my own one day and until then am excited to help others care for their own 🤍✨ I’m currently working as a baker in one of the local hospitals so my mornings are fairly limited. However I available for some early afternoon or late evening love from your pups! I’m also using this as an opportunity to see if I’ll be ready for a pet companion of my own in the near future as I’m still figuring this life and adulthood thing out! I currently live in a townhome with a small back patio; while I do offer boarding services, I’ve found that pets tend to be more at ease in their own homes more often than not.
