About: I've been around dogs my entire life with experience ranging from hyper puppies to mellow older dogs. I've become the default care taker for any family members pet and love every second of it. My dog and I love going on walks and playing fetch in the backyard, she even sleeps on my bed which is the cutest thing ever. This is why I know how that special attention and physical activity is for a dog. I am capable of brushing and grooming the dog if they are well behaved. I've managed overnight care for a week while in school and making sure the pets were happy and well cared for. I'm reliable, organized and will always treat your dog as my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I have my own vehicle and a flexible part time job. I'm available on weekdays and weekends while always willing to work with your schedule to do what is best for your pets. I make sure that my dog is walked or taken outside every 4 hours. Having explicit instructions on how to care for your pet is appreciated so that I can ensure that the best care is provided. I always check to make sure that gates are closed in the backyard and that whatever environment your dog is in they feel safe and happy.

“Saige aka Ziggy was an absolute dog whisperer. Ziggy took great care of my dog, which allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation. If you’re looking for a dog sitter or walker, stop searching. One report card wrote “An aggressive dog approached Boone, I stepped in front of Boone and the other dog ran off.” I mean talk about CARE & SAFETY. ⭐️ x 5”

About: I have had pets since I was around 8 years old, when my family had a dog and a cat. When I was a teenager, while living in, I took care of 2 young Yellow Labs while their family was vacationing in Europe. Soon after, I then adopted a young Irish Setter, who I enjoyed running with on the beach. She was full of energy, enthusiasm and so much fun. I enjoy being with dogs and walking outdoors with them, getting our fresh air and exercise. My daughter in law also cares for dogs in her home, through Rover, and I enjoy being with the dogs in her home. I enjoy brushing and playing with dogs and I am attentive to their feeding schedule and always put out fresh water with each meal. I am attentive to their outdoor needs and clean up well after them. Dogs are wonderful! I am available 7 days a week, from 6 am through 10 pm. I am happy to walk you dog, feed meals, play, and keep your dog company I have 3, 2 1/2 year old sister cats. I keep their litter boxes very clean, by usually cleaning them 3 times a day.. I feed them in the morning, and then I play with them, and they get their exercise by running up and down the steps in our house. I brush them frequently. When weather permits. I open a window for them to enjoy watching the outdoors. Dinner time and more playing. They absolutely are so happy to play with the catnip toys, along with lying next to me on the rug or on the couch. They sleep very well through the night. each

About: I had a dog from birth until he had turned 18, and I had been his sole caregiver for the last 4-5 years of his life. I also grew up around dogs and cats, currently I own 2 cats, a boy named Winston who is 2 and a girl named Amelia who is just over 6 months old. I have always been a reliable source in pet care for walking, feeding, playing, and bathing a loved ones pet. I currently live with two cats who use tofu litter, which needs to be changed every day otherwise it will spoil. Both kitties get bathed on a monthly basis and are fed wet food twice a day. I always measure their meals and check ingredients to make sure my cats are getting the healthiest they can be. Winston is a long haired cat who requires a groom every 2 months so I take him to the groomer as well.
