About: I have had animals my whole life. Couldn’t imagine life without them. I have had English Mastiff/Great Danes( not afraid of some drool) to Jack Russell’s. I currently do not have any employment. I’m extremely bored at home. I would like to get out of the house doing something I know I would love. My husband travels for work so we currently live in a large fifth wheel RV. We have one dog a 6yr old Great Dane. Also one calico cat about 8 months old .
About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds since I was a little girl. I’m offering to play with, walk, and care for your pets when you are busy. Throughout our time together I will send thorough updates as well as photos. I also have experience volunteering at a humane society, working at a vets office, and working at a grooming salon so I understand dog behaviors and overall care. I am doing this part time during weekdays and select weekends as I am a full time college student. I will be available as needed, as long as I have a few days of warning.

About: I've been taking care of pets since I was very young. I've pet sat for friends and family. I know how to care and entertain pets. I am a college student so I have plenty of free time. Since I am an animal lover caring for your pet will be a joy for me. I will make sure your pets are properly fed and watered. I will play endlessly with high energy pets but allow them rest if they're low energy. I will make sure they crated or let outside when necessary.
About: Over the past five years, my journey as a pet owner has been a heartwarming and fulfilling experience. Welcoming a loyal canine companion into my life has not only brought joy but also taught me valuable lessons in patience, responsibility, and unwavering love. From adventurous walks in the park to cozy evenings by the fireplace, our bond has grown stronger with each passing day. I've learned to anticipate their needs, share in their happiness, and comfort them during moments of distress. Through the ups and downs, my four-legged friend has become an integral part of my life, enriching it with an abundance of unconditional love and boundless affection. Despite maintaining a full-time work schedule, I am able to offer pet-sitting services due to my flexible work hours and the ability to customize my availability. This flexibility allows me to accommodate pet owners' needs by arranging my work tasks around pet-sitting commitments, ensuring the well-being and care of their beloved animals without compromising my work responsibilities. Additionally, my dedication and passion for animals motivate me to manage my time efficiently, making it possible to balance both commitments effectively. To excel at pet-sitting in my home with a yard and a friendly dog, I prioritize safety, comfort, and companionship. My first step is a thorough introduction between the visiting pet and my own dog in a controlled, neutral space to ensure compatibility. Throughout their stay, I closely supervise their interactions, maintaining a separate area if necessary. Each pet has its own dedicated food and water bowls, and I adhere strictly to the owner's feeding and medication instructions. Playtime and exercise in my secure yard are integral to their routine, promoting mental and physical well-being. My commitment to cleanliness and safety ensures a hygienic environment, and I maintain open communication with pet owners, sharing updates and addressing their needs promptly. Ultimately, my goal is to create a loving, harmonious atmosphere where pets thrive and enjoy their stay.
About: I’ve taken care of my own pets for 5 years, my dog for 3, and pet-sat for 2 years consecutively! I’ve also had experience with giving medications and special foods! I’m currently a full-time student and work part time! I am available all day Sundays & Mondays, 10am-2pm weekdays, and occasionally nights (just message me!) I’m really flexible with my schedule! I have a pet (dog and cat) friendly black lab male (he is fixed) to keep your fur babies company! His name is Scout and he is 2 years old!
About: If you are in the hospital or otherwise unavailable due to coronavirus, I am available to take care of your dogs I grew up around dogs. I volunteered with my aunt that rescued dogs until I could get my own. My Aunt has about 10-15 dogs on average at a time and the rescue organization had close to 50 dogs at a time I was volunteering there. I had 2 Wheaten Terrier mixes rescues one 16 years and another 12 years old. I often house sit for my grandparents who have an Airedale Terrier. I also have experience working with dogs in the military. I love working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. I am trying out this service to walk some dogs, do some feedings and let outs for bathroom brakes while you're away, but mostly I love dogs. I have experience with dogs with cataracts, arthritis, and incontinence and I have experience working with other dogs with disabilities. I'd be willing to have dogs in my car. I am flexible with your dogs' training requirements.
“Fantastic experience. All went as planned, and my dog loved Jim. You can tell he cares.”
About: For as long as I can remember, there have always been dogs in my home, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love dogs more than anything, and I would be delighted to care for your fur babies. I currently have three dogs: a 9-year-old Papillion, a 9-year-old American Staffordshire, and a 7-year-old Lab/Chow mix, two of which I helped raise from puppies. I also have experience pet-sitting for family and a couple of friends. I am completely free most of the summer, and I go to school part-time in the fall and spring. Starting in the fall, I will be free all day Thursday-Sunday, and from 12 pm-10 pm Monday and Wednesday. For daycare/boarding: I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of space for your furry friends to run around and play, and a driveway that is almost a mile long where we can go for a walk without worrying about cars! I have 3 dogs of my own, all of which are friendly and playful, but they can be kept separate if they make your dogs uncomfortable. For pet-sitting/check-ins: I'm here for you! I want to listen to how you want things done and what you need from me as a pet-sitter. After all, they're your pets in your home and I know every pet is unique!
About: I’ve been loving and caring for animals since I was 5. I grew up on a farm with all animals of all sizes and personalities, 15 of which were dogs that we rescued and loved. My responsibilities of feeding, grooming, training, keeping them healthy, and loving them were a pleasure and never a chore. I’m an EMT with a total of 4 days off every week, including weekends- meaning plenty of time to help take care of your fur-babies. I will always treat your home and fur-babies with care and respect. They will have my undivided attention and all needs will be met with love.
About: I have taken care of many pets since I was a little girl especially dogs. I am a dog owner and so is my family. when my family members leave on trips I take care of all the pets needs like walking feeding and spending quality time I am a mom so my hours are based around school. My hours are from 8:30am to 2:00 pm I feel that is adequate time to give your pets the extra needed attention, love, and exercise they require. Well tending to pets and clients home I make sure the dog will be leashed before heading out doors and making sure that all doors are secure before and after walks. If they are caged or crate I will make sure that they are properly secured.

He takes our dogs for walks, spends the whole time with them whenever he is home, and takes care of any and all other responsibilities they may have. Our dogs seem exceptionally happy whenever he is around. They wag their tag nonstop whenever Percy comes into the room. He will even get on the floor and play with them for hours at a time. Percy is always on his phone looking at the different types of animals and what all they need to stay healthy and happy. Whenever he has any money, he always spends it on the dogs.”
Jadelyn C.
“We have a French Bull Dog and a Great Dane. Jadelyn, has watched them multiple times either for the day or overnight stays. They absolutely love when she comes around. She spends quality time with both, takes them walking, and loves on them as if they were her own. She ensures they are fed at the appropriate times (they know when it’s feeding time…lol). She makes sure they have fresh water throughout the day. She has even bathed our Frenchie. Having her care for your furbaby, makes you feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. Would highly recommend!”
