“Literally the only person outside of family that we trust to take care of our three dogs. This trip, our water pump went out, so she had to put up with the plumber as well as the dogs, but she handled it professionally and quickly.”


About: I've taken care of cats and several types of dogs, mostly of the large kind, for friends and family as well as raising many kittens in my own home. I have experience with all ages of dogs and am comfortable with high energy dogs as long as they don't have aggressive tendencies. I have worked on some (very) basic dog training, but nothing at all professional. I have also had and taken care of ducks, chickens, rabbits and fish. If you need a companion for your pet, I would love to be of service for you! I am currently unemployed and living at home, so any schedule you would like for your animals while I'm there with them, I am able to do! I'm happy to take dogs for walks, play with cats, or whatever you need me to do for their schedules.:) I will be respectful of whatever boundaries you have for your home, or with your pets. I am happy to care and be involved with your pets in whatever way you need. I am patient with animals that take a bit of time to warm up to more people, so don't worry about being offended. I will always have the best interest of you and your pet in mind while I am on the job.:)
About: I am highly experienced with leash walking and keeping animals take during walks. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets while away on vacation or far from home! I have been the one people go to for pet sitting emergencies! I’m am home from work for the next two months so I am available anytime. Once I start back I can be available afternoons after 4pm for any needs! I live in a very rural area, which has not needed a fence or any other form of protection. In the past my family has used long leashes to let the animals explore as we walk. I am good with walking on leash, with a harness or any type of collar.
About: My attention to detail and absolute top notch care. I will treat your pets like they are my own. I have experience with both senior animals and young. I will be available 7 days a week, currently only working part time, looking to make watching and taking care of animals a full time thing. I live in a pet friendly apartment, however, I do prefer to travel and take care of pets, in the comfort of their own homes.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages. I’ve taken care of my senior dog for years, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to support older dogs’ needs. I’ve also been around puppies and high-energy dogs my entire life, as my grandparents board Border Collies. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and energy levels, and I focus on making every dog feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. Pet care is a constant part of my daily routine. I regularly care for my senior dog, who is blind and deaf, making sure he gets the stimulation he needs and is fed the correct food at the proper times. I also have a cat living with me, so I make time every day for her playtime, affection, meals, and treats. Caring for pets is already built into my schedule, allowing me to give consistent and attentive care. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in both my home and my clients’ homes. I follow all care instructions closely, maintain clean and secure spaces, and pay close attention to pets’ routines and behaviors. I’m especially mindful of doors, feeding schedules, and creating a calm environment to reduce stress. Whether in my home or theirs, I treat every pet with patience, respect, and attentive care to help them feel safe and at ease.
