Dog Sitting in Saint Augusta

About: I have taken care of animals since I was young, when I became a teenager I started to help my mom take care of animals and staying for a few days at the homeowners houses. Also, on the weekends I dog and cat sat for my friend and her family at there house ranging from 2 days to a few weeks. I am a college student, so I usually have classes in the morning and the rest of the day free. I might have a few shifts at my job that keeps me occupied for 5-7 hours a couple of times a week. I play with them a few hours and take them outside every 4-8 hours. I like to take dogs on walks, and I clean the litter every 2-3 days.

About: I have over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. My love for animals started when I was young, walking dogs for neighbors and friends, and it quickly grew into a lifelong passion. As I got older, I volunteered at my local humane society and have continued providing trusted pet care for pets ever since. I have extensive experience working with dogs of all temperaments, including reactive dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and dogs who may show aggressive behaviors. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment for every dog in my care. In addition, I have experience with housebreaking as well as basic obedience training, and I’m happy to help reinforce routines and good habits during your pet’s stay. I have experience with house breaking and basic obedience training. I work part time from home which gives me a lot of flexibility to do what I’m most passionate about which is taking care of animals!

About: I've taken care of, trained and loved animals since I was little. Growing up that infatuation grew into a dream to have my own kennel and business. Now I own and operate Pawsitive Journey, so in a way uou could say that dream has turned into a reality. I'm experienced with a wide variety of behaved dogs, puppies and more. Don't be afraid to reach out. When your fur babies are in my care, they will be treated and cared for as family. I'm currently self-employed through Pawsitive Journey, so I will have plenty of time to provide your pet with the care, attention, and playtime you want and expect. I have a 6+ years of handling and caring for animals in general and would be able to provide the most comfort and the most exhilarating time while you are away, depending on what your pet requires.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats. I currently live with a black lab. I also have two cats at my parent's house. I began volunteering at the Tri County Humane Society in Saint Cloud a few months ago and love it. I have plenty of experience with dogs and cats, big or small, calm or crazy. I work overnights three days a week and wanted something that I could do in my free time. I am available pretty much whenever during the weekdays and most weekends. I am currently living with a ten year old black lab who is a very laid back dog in his older age. I also volunteer at the humane society and have taken dogs for walks and helped with shelter care (cleaning cages, letting dogs out, etc.). I am very comfortable with any task thrown at me, but I mainly prefer dog walking.

“Heather was great!!!! She contacted me with problems and sent pictures. She took amazing care of our kitties while we were away. She made a stressful weekend away for us a little easier. We will definitely book her again!!!”

About: I have walked dogs and have had dogs and cats of my own throughout my life, animals ranging from a 100+ pound German Shepard to a small cat. I love them all. During quarentine my friend and I also had our own little dog walking business around or neighbor. We had around 10 frequent clients who we would walk on a weekly basis, so I have had experience with many different dogs. I am here for your animals and excited to meet them! I am going to be working full time this summer and will be working night shifts. I can play with your animals in the morning and mid afternoon. I can also check on them after work. Weekends I will be available every other weekend. I will be able to tend to animals very early in the morning and a little after noon. I am hoping to spend more time with a variety of animals this summer at reasonable costs! I have a decent sized yard with large hedges around it. My mom loves animals so she is happy whenever we dog watch our neighbors dog. I get along with almost all dogs and cats.

“Shannon is fantastic! My pup is so picky when it comes to humans but she was able to win him him over in no time. I received several photos and texts daily; this was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous. The constant communication made me feel much better. She even tidied up my place! I could not have asked for a better person to take care of Scotch, thanks Shannon!”

About: I have owned several dogs of various sizes that I have cared for. I am a responsible person that is always punctual, and I get my work done as expected. I tend to prefer larger dogs, but small dogs are not an issue. Dogs with minor medical needs are not an issue either as I have watched my step sisters dog before while she was on vacation, and her dog requires seizure medication twice daily. I also have much experience with cats. Cats are fairly easy to handle, and I have been with cats of various attitudes, from occasionally hostile to extremely friendly. There is no job that is too much to handle. I am willing to put my best effort into taking care of your furry friends. I work quite a bit, but I will always make time for your furry friends. If it’s booked enough in advance, I’m able to adjust my work schedule to meet your pets needs. I treat all pets with respect. It is their home, not mine, and I treat them as if they were my child. They get the best care and lots of love. I respect animals boundaries just as I would expect a person to respect my own.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes all of my life! Reliable, attentive, and passionate about keeping your pets happy and healthy while you’re away. I am currently enrolled in online college classes full time. That means I’ll be home with your pup all day every day to provide them the most care. I am a very active person and would love to help your dog get some energy out with lots of walks and dog park time!

About: For the safety of your dog and mine, I highly encourage meet and greets prior to watching!! I enjoy helping coworkers by watching their dogs while on vacation and they get along with my dog very well. I don’t mind introducing her to other animals. I work full time. After work I like to play with my dog and take her to the park a mile away from my house. Usually dogs come to me. We play in the yard to tire out and then play inside or relax in the living room at night.
