“Cheryl took care of my cat at my house during a long weekend getaway, and she was awesome! Cheryl was super easy to communicate with, met all my cat's medication and snuggle needs, brought in the odd assortment of packages we received during our time away, sent photos, and more. So happy we found you, Cheryl! Thanks so much!”
“Erica is the one! It was our first time leaving our dogs at home while we travel, because our bulldog is getting old with health issues. She gave us thorough updates with pictures while she was at our house (We did drop ins 2 times a day). Our Westie wasn’t eating, but Erica went out of her way to make sure she was well taken care of. We will definitely use her again 😊”
“Prompt and courteous. I got a sense of trust worthiness right away. She did everything I asked and a few extras. Will hire again when the need arises.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was a wee lad. Even now, I’m the first call when friends and family need someone to watch their precious fur baby. I have a very adaptable schedule due to doing alot of gig work. Other than very late hours on the weekends when I’ve taken on a gig, it won’t be hard to figure out a time that works for us. I have a fenced yard with dog house and a large dog crate on the inside in order to keep your pup safe. Our house is in a gated low traffic community.
About: I have always had a dog growing up. I learned how to cut their nails, play, groom, and administer medication. Anything you can think of, taking care of a dog, I have done. I'm in school to become a veterinarian because of how much I love caring for them. I have no experience taking care of a cat, but I would love to. My mom is allergic, so I never had a cat. I have, however, been around them because of friends and know how to take care of them. I take care of my dog every hour of the day. I also have a snake that I take care of regularly. My days and weeks are full of pet care. I care for animals with love and gentle hands. Animal health is very important to me, and I strive to give them the love and attention they deserve. I'm good at keeping up routines, so whatever routine the animal is on, I can keep it up.

About: I am from Wisconsin and will be attending UT-Martin this fall enrolled in their Veterinary Technology program. In Wisconsin, I worked at a vet clinic as a kennel assistant for 3 years before being promoted to veterinary assistant, a position I've held for the last 2 years. I am experienced in giving all kinds of medications including oral, injectable, and eye drops/ointment. I am comfortable working with dogs of all breeds and of any age. I look forward to working with you and your fur babies! During the week I will have classes Monday through Friday, but I will have time to let them out in the morning before classes and in the afternoon after my classes have ended. On the weekends I will have more availability to hang out and play with your pets. When caring for your pets in your home I will make sure your pets always have access to clean water and are supervised when outside whether the yard is fenced in or they have to be leashed. I will engage in play time with your pets and take them for walks too. I will also follow any directions given on feeding times and any medications that may need to be administered.
