Jacob did an amazing job with our two dogs and home. He came out and met them the night before on short notice. He was a lifesaver and we will be calling him again! Our dogs can be choosy and they hit it off with Jacob right away. Great Experience!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a child. I have experience in puppy and senior care. I spent many years rescuing cats and volunteering in a cat shelter. I currently have two senior dogs and am comfortable in special care and administering medicine. I am home all day so I can offer constant care if needed. I work from home and make my own schedule, so I will be dedicated to caring for your fur baby. I enjoy working with animals. I can care for your animals in my home. I have a large fenced in backyard. I can also come to your home, drop in or walk your fur baby(s). My schedule is flexible.

About: Lifetime of experience, including dogs with behavioral challenges and special needs. I've volunteered at local shelters, and I've fostered rescue dogs in need. I have quite a bit of experience with dogs of every background! I am currently a college student and taking some time off of work to focus on my studies and would like to make some extra cash to help pay my loans/carry some weight at my family's house. My family has quite some land, and although not fenced, I am very active and always run with my own dog on a leash. I do 30 minutes to an hour walk twice a day. Potty breaks are very consistent.

About: Hi there! My name is Laikin. I have experience as a volunteer and foster at the local humane society for 6+ years. I have been dog sitting for over 7 years now, so I have experience with most breeds, sizes, and shapes of dogs. :) I personally own one dog, an australian shepard mix! I love spending time with dogs. I am good at following the directions and spending quality time with your pups! They will be in good hands and you’ll feel safe trusting me. I am responsible and able to stay calm in situations in order to give the best care to your dog! Look forward to meeting your pup :) I have lots of experience balancing my other responsibilities with providing quality pet care! I regularly worked as a sitter throughout my time as a full time college athlete. I have had experience with lots of different dogs with various needs, including various medical conditions. I am very good at following directions and providing loving care!

About: A little bit about me- I grew up on a farm with lots of animals, during my older teen ages I fostered animals with my mom for our local humane society. I have volunteered on farms and even a fox sanctuary so I’m pretty confident with animals! I’m currently working part time so i have a lot of free time to watch or walk any kind of animal! Thursday through Sunday are the best days for me! I have a big yard and a great area to walk dogs. The house is pretty substantial so any animal will be able to run around!

Animals are truly my passion and I cannot wait to meet your pets! I am currently working part-time and furthering my education so I have plenty of time in my week to help you with all of your pet care needs.

About: I have always grown up with pets and farm animals and I have great experience with both. I have great references from friends, family, and even people I have met from dog sitting for them. I am also certified for Pet CPR and First Aid. I am currently employed part-time at Hibbett Sports in Jackson. Currently, I am going to school for my Bachelor’s in Middle Childhood education. This allows me to have a free schedule for pet sitting. I usually stay with the pets so they get the love and attention that they deserve during my time watching them. I try to send updates on the pets every 1-2 days to help the owners feel more comfortable while they are gone from their fur babies!

Allie certainly has a heart for animals and it shows in the way she has cared for ours😊
