Pet Sitting Riddle

About: I have showed dogs for 10 years now and have helped multiple families with at home doggie care. I have worked at a Kennel in the past before I moved towns. I am going to be continuing my education in dog training so this truly is my passion not just something to pass the time. I have a Therapy dog and Canine Good Citizen at home. I am AKC Canine Good Citizen Tester Certified, so I could help you and your pooch get tested as well. I have been out of the business for a year now do to being in college and not having the time to help anyone out. I am ready to get back out there and help people with whatever there needs are. My schedule can vary depending on my work and teaching responsibilities, but I do my best to be flexible and communicate clearly about my availability. I am happy to discuss your pet’s normal routine ahead of time so I can keep their care as consistent as possible. For drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting, I will follow your instructions closely, including feeding times, potty breaks, medications, enrichment, exercise needs, and any household routines. I know that consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable, especially when their family is away. I am also happy to provide updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing during each visit or stay. Safety and trust are very important to me. I use a calm, positive, and respectful approach with every animal in my care. As a certified dog trainer with experience in service dog training, shelter care, foster care, dog daycare, and veterinary settings, I understand how important it is to read body language, move at each pet’s pace, and help animals feel secure. I will always follow your pet’s routine and your instructions closely, including leash handling, door safety, crate or confinement routines, feeding guidelines, medication needs, and any behavior or medical concerns you want me to know about. I am comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and other animals, and I understand that each pet has their own personality, comfort level, and needs. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and positive experience where your pet feels cared for, respected, and understood.

About: My entire life has been dogs, dogs, dogs! I also have other animal experience, such as chickens, goats, horses, cats, parrots, etc I have experience in whelping and rearing litters, training and building confidence in puppies and adults, house training, manners trainings, lead training, etc. I use balanced methods, while heavily leaning on positive reinforcement, but always adjust to the dogs in front of me. I have also had a few years of rescue and rehab experience, particularly with cats and puppies. I'm experienced with working dogs, large dogs, small dogs, and definitely giants! I'd like to think puppies are my specialty. I also have a bit of formal education. Let's work together! My own dogs are my world, and I am constantly trying to do better by them. I am always teaching out to peers to get their recommendations/opinions, and talk about training, care, nutrition, etc . I have working bred dogs, so sometimes our days don't look the same, and offering enrichment and exercise is super important. I also have four cats of my own, as well as two Chihuahuas. My male Chihuahua has mobility issues, and that has been a learning curve for both of us! My life pretty much revolves around them, in the best ways. I follow instructions laid out for me to my best of my ability. I like to take it slow, and help your pets be comfortable. New people can be scary for some pets, and we went to make the experiences as positive as possible. The goal is a lot of fun, and being safe! I also want to add, I am incredibly LgtqiA+, and disabled persons friendly!

About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including my own pup, Silas. I’m familiar with feeding schedules, administering medication, potty routines, walks, and active play. I create a safe, loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and happy. I also have experience caring for multiple pets at once, so I’m skilled at managing different personalities and energy levels. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m happy to make time for your pets and their needs. I have a flexible schedule and can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention. I’m reliable and enjoy making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and supervised while following their normal routines, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and playtime. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, keep things clean and secure, and communicate with owners throughout the stay so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I have not only taken care of my own pets but have fostered and rehomed numerous cats and dogs for over the last 10 years. When I lived in North Dakota, I volunteered at the local humane society and adopted an old German Short-haired pointer named Billy in the process. I have experience in handling large dogs such as American Bulldogs to small dogs like little chihuahuas, along with cats, reptiles, and birds. I am always eager to hear about individual personalities and ways you have learned to better care for your companion! I currently work part time but am available for pop ins, evenings, and over nights. I can also do morning and evening walks. I look forward to doing more of what I love! I have taken care of animals with special needs such as the hearing and vision impaired. I have helped administrator multiple medications and used to animals with a wide variety of personalities. I am very knowledgeable in verbal and nonverbal cues and can spot and diffuse the situation quickly. My experiences over the last decade are why I'm confident that I can provide top notch care for your loved ones when you're away!

About: I have been an animal lover since I was born! I grew up on a farm that included all farm animals; mainly horses, dogs, and cats. I’ve had many years of experience with training, and proper pet care! I currently work from home and I have plenty of time throughout the day for pet sitting! I’m available 24/7 I enjoy walks, and nature so I spend a lot of time outside. I have a large fenced yard, fit for animals. We have a loving friendly 7 year old hound dog named Copper. We live in a safe quiet neighborhood close to trails and parks.

About: I am passionate about our animal friends and hope to add more pets to my daily life! I especially love pup time and am always excited to meet more friends. I’d love to help you and your family by offering quality, caring service to your pets. (: Currently I am offering sitting and drop-in visits seperately but due to health needs I am most able to provide exercise, energy expenditure and mental and physical enrichment either from your home or via outings. I do have a service dog that accompanies me most places and he loves making new friends, which can be a great option if yours also enjoy regular playdates. He is good with kids, cats and other dogs, if you have any questions feel free to ask! I am always open to making other arrangements based on your needs and prioritize finding accessible solutions and making accommodations to ensure your pets are able to recieve quality care. (: I am available in the morning through evening as well as overnight! I’d love to work around your schedule and to help make things as accessible as possible! Currently I am not offering boarding or daycare in my home. I am in a shared living space and unfortunately don’t have enough room for more furry friends at this time.
