About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds since I was 10 years old. I have had a farm with horses, dogs, ferrets, and cats. I also have experience with training, service dogs, and birds. I'm a teacher and trainer. I do not work summers. I am available anytime any day of the week. I love animals. Thank you for considering me. I have a fenced in yard. I love taking walks and throwing a ball or frisbee etc. Animals make me happy so of course they will be loved and be a part of the family.

About: I have been the go to dog sitter in my family since I was old enough to walk. I have looked after many different animals including dogs, cats, fish, and horses. I had a cat growing up and currently have dogs that are my babies. I also previously worked as a kennel tech at a doggy daycare and have worked with horses, dogs, and cats on a farm. I am looking to grow my knowledge regarding animals and am planning on going to school for vet science. I’m currently doing caregiving and am lucky enough to pick a schedule that works best for me. Which means more play time for your furry babies. 🩵😁 I can get your pups daily steps in however often is needed! I also can drop by while you are away and give food and water as well as take them outside to use the bathroom.

Before going to rover for my pet care needs I got Michelle’s card for Puppy Loves Pet Services. I recently got 2 shepskys puppies wasn’t sure how I was going to handle two puppies at 8 weeks old (also being a single mom of two children 2 & 8). Michelle just recently started training the puppies at my house which makes it so convenient for the kids and me. the advice and knowledge that she gives to us each week is amazing the kids are learning every week something new that they can teach the dogs and be involved. Michelle is so patient with the dogs and the kids and myself because before her we were lost on what to do never really professionally trained other dogs I have had in the past . I highly recommend Michelle for all of your dog needs you won’t be disappointed.

About: I’ve never met anyone as passionate about living creatures or life in general as I am. Working with living things also makes me feel alive. I’m a college student with basically no job so I have all the time in the world for animals and their owners alike. Hoping to get a job at the dog shelter near me! Dogs require a special type of love that isn’t always given to them by any random stranger. Cats even more so. The goal is to build a trust with the animal in a way that they can recognize a mutual respect. I’ve had many cats that aren’t “people cats” love me and not be able to leave me alone.

About: I’ve had 3+ years in professional dog training as well as kennel care. I have whelped litters of puppies and am well rounded for any level of dog. I currently train dogs in general obedience and give riding lessons part-time. I do this all from my home so I would be accessible at any time to your pets needs. My farm is over four acres and is surrounded by corn fields. I have two very well trained dogs that help me socialize client dogs. In the evenings I do crate all dogs.

About: I have had the joy of being surrounded by pets my entire life. I have been caring for my own pets (family pets included) and also my friends pets. I have pet sit for my parents cats and I have also pet sit for my friends goats and chickens on many different occasions. I have also had the pleasure of taking my friends dogs on multiple walks. I enjoy every minute I am surrounded by animals of many different shapes and sizes. I currently work from home and have the opportunity to have an open schedule during the week. I am available Monday through Friday from 6am - 10pm. Please make appointments at least a day in advance and cancel three days before scheduled appointment, if need be. I provide the best care for every and any animal I come across. For my own cats specifically, I make sure that they have access to fresh water and dry food daily. I also feed them wet food with the cleanest ingredients, 3 times a day. I also make sure to scoop their litter box multiple times a day and change it out every other day. I will transfer this personal experience of mine to your pets by providing them with the best care while also respecting my clients rules and wishes.

About: Fur babies are my life … No literally! 🤗 I’m a Veterinarian Assistant so caring for your pet is literally what I do, what I love.🥰 I work 12hr shifts but only 3 days a a week at a Veterinarian Hospital. So that gives me tons of extra time during the week. I have a fenced in yard and a very nice fur baby to keep your fur baby company. I do also have created if needed.

About: I have cared for all types of domesticated pets professionally since July 2018. I love what I do and never work a day in my life. The best part is assisting the owner by giving them peace of mind that their pet is well cared for and safe while having fun while they're away. My life revolves around the pets: pets I care for and my own four fur loves. I occasionally step out for an event or appointment, or to check on another pet. I never leave the pets alone for more than the allotted and appropriate time. I rotate the person by family pets, unless I have regulars who I absolutely know get along. Your pet will have a few hours out to roam the house and yard. Then I will put them in a decent sized room to rest, drink water, play with their toys, eat, etc. I then rotate the pets all day within the time I am awake. I feed and potty them on the same schedule as at home. They will get tons of attention and human interaction. I don't kennel unless owner would like.

About: Ever since I was a kid, I walked my own dog and my neighbors dog regularly. This led me to owning my own dogs and loving every bit of it from start to the unfortunate end. I am not quite ready to get another puppy under my roof because the love of my life is irreplaceable, but I am ready to love on your sweet fur baby! I am currently working full time but have the capability of being flexible mid week and on the weekends. I plan to fit this into my schedule nicely without anything getting in the way of my scheduled time with your pet! My dog is allowed to roam freely around our property and he is very loyal to our boundaries. I feel that animals aren’t meant to be in confined spaces but should be allowed to roam with larger boundaries. With that said, I am not opposed to crating for those owners and doggies that prefer it or need it. I do have that capability and a large crate for a large dog at home. Our back yard is semi enclosed and there is plenty of space to run and play. Lots of water, tail wags and being apart of the outdoors for pups around my quarters!
