About: Growing up my family has always had dogs from seniors to full litters of puppies. Hiking and exercise have always been vital in our dogs care. Dogs who are house trained are free to roam in and out of the house during the day with use of a dog door and fully fenced 6ft fence outside with 0.5 acres to run around. I take my dogs on walks everyday and would love to include yours as well! Weekends work best for me. Home during the day for the summer months so I have plenty of time to love on your pup. I have a large fenced yard with two dogs who love to be active and play well with others of all sizes both inside and outside as they want.
About: I love all animals and have spent a lot of time learning how to adapt to the different needs of each animal that I watch. I am currently working full time so I can watch your animal in the mornings and afternoons - and can leave work on my lunch to take them out if needed! Weekends are typically completely free, so I can be there for them all day! When I am in a client's home, I respect how they want their animals to be taken care of! I want to make sure that their animal is taken care of in their comfort and am careful to follow all of the directions that are given to me to ensure that their pet is safe. It takes a lot of trust to leave your animal with someone and I want to make sure that I can create that safe environment!
About: I’ve had my rescued dog for 8 years and a rescued cat for 3 years. I love animals and treat my fur babies like family with all my love and company. I currently work from home, so I have lots of flexibilities to accommodate your fur family. I'm usually home with my pets except a few hours at a time to run errands. I have a medium sized dog and a cat at home. They are friendly to new friends. The backyard is unfenced, my dog enjoys running and sniffing around. Your fur-baby will have potty breaks in the backyard supervised and will have so much play time there.
About: Hey! An animal lover since day 1. I've cared for animals of all shapes and sizes, ranging from geckos to horses. I'm an avid horseback rider and am majoring in animal science, at this point, I don't think anything can scare me and I'm capable of giving pills or shots. I've cared for various pets for over a decade so your fuzzy felines will find fabulous care with me and your cute canines will receive all the cuddles too:) I work part time currently and have very available mornings, my work schedule is fairly flexible and I can fit my time to fit your schedule, especially if you are looking for something permanent. In my own home, my cat takes priority, and I work to keep her as comfortable as possible, (I've gone so far as to stop wearing heavily fragranced lotions since it bothers her!) I maintain structured meal times and try to incorporate lots of activity that the animal enjoys. I try my very best to be a source of solace and comfort to the animal especially when having new people come over, or having owners leave can be quite stressful for our friends.
“Pamela was awesome! She helped me out last minute when my other sitter had to cancel. She watched my cat for a week and I could tell he was very well-cared-for. She sent me updates throughout my trip and gave me peace of mind while I was gone. I will definitely be using her again :)”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have grown up caring for them, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m currently a part time nail tech and want to fill my time doing something I love. And if I can fill my spare time by spending it with animals I think my life would be complete. In a client’s home, I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, and play to keep pets happy and stress-free. Either way, I give each pet my full attention and care as if they were my own.
“Laura was amazing with our two cats and six chickens! She was extremely thoughtful and caring. I had a family emergency and Laura helped make a super stressful situation a little less stressful. Thank you, Laura 💕”
About: I grew up in a family with a variety of animals-cats, dogs, and chickens. I love playing and snuggling with all animals. We love animals! I’m currently a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to love on and play with your fur babies. My two kids are full of energy that they love to share with animals. I live in a quiet, animal friendly neighborhood. I have two kids that absolutely love playing with animals and will keep your fur babies active and happy.
