About: I’m a former first responder and military veteran. 25+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs from playful pups to seniors and special needs pets. I’ve worked with breeds from tiny Chihuahuas to giant Cane Corsos and English Mastiffs, and I’ve given both oral meds and injections when needed. I picked up practical dog handling skills during my time in the military, and I’ve raised and trained my own pets since I was a kid. Today, I share life with my own sweet dog, and every pet I care for gets the same love, patience, and respect I give my own. Whether they need structure, snuggles, or just someone calm and steady, I’m here to make them feel safe and happy. I’m home full time and available most hours of the day including weekends. I can easily fit into your pet’s routine. Whether your pets needs a lunchtime potty break, morning walk, or evening snuggles, I’m here when you need me. I provide a pet-friendly environment in a great neighborhood just minutes from Mill Creek Park (3 min) and the dog park (10 min). Whether I’m in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and cared. I follow any instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and always give each pup the patience and love they deserve.

“Extremely responsive to any and all communication. Informative, adaptive, and thorough. Upon my ring camera footage, I can tell my doggo loves the walks with Bridgette. I am very pleased start to finish with her work and dedication to my dogs safety and comfort. I will continue to book and I suggest you do too!”

About: I have taken care of family pets since I was young. As I grew older, I adopted my own pets and have volunteered in animal shelters as well. I have always had dogs and cats in my life and it has grown to guinea pigs and a bearded dragon. I'm able to give baths, do walks, and bathroom breaks and provide ample amounts of play time. I am available for Labor Day weekend! I am also a full time stay at home mother so currently all of my days and times of the week are free and open, even weekends. I let all of my animals on my furniture if they want in my home. They all have their special homes and spots where they can be in peace until they come out with the rest of the family. My home is kept clear of dangerous items, tiny small toys for example that pets might eat.

About: Hello! My name is Lois and I am 25 years old. I live with my fiancé Aaron, he is a wonderful man, gentle, and kind man. His love for animals is equal to mine. I am from Pittsburgh originally but, I have since moved to North Jackson! I live in a sweet, cozy, home in the country. My property is very private, with lots of land for animals to play on safely. I will be the sole caretaker for your pet, and I am able to dedicate my full attention and provide round-the-clock care and attention for your pet. I have an almost 2 year old son, that I co-parent with his father. So he is here every other week, if you prefer to arrange a time when he is or isn’t here, for your or his safety. I 100% will do that. I currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs, all are very friendly and love other animals. They are absolutely great role models for other dogs. I occasionally foster dogs that need homes, and they are absolutely incredible. Our heeler is a very big charmer and is extremely playful. Our poodle is laid back, reserved, but definitely loves to play. They both love exploring and hiking. I am outside almost all day with them, and when it’s too hot we go out in intervals. Cool off, drink/eat, refresh, and we’re back outside playing and enjoying nature. Our closest neighbor is family, and they equally love animals, our dogs will visit for treats haha. If you’d would like our animals separate from any of your animals, I can arrange that. Just please let me know ahead of time! My experience with animals: I have been around dogs, cats, and exotic animals pretty much since I was born. I've always had a passion for animals, I truly love and value everything from the tiniest bug to the tallest horse haha. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles (venomous and non-venomous) and fish. I have trained show dogs since the age of 13, and have ethically bred and assisted many litters alongside my mother and/or equally knowledgeable/highly experienced mentors. My mother was very passionate about showing dogs and was an amazing obedience trainer. She has won many shows and competitions across the country. To the point where she had #1 dogs for breed and in obedience. I have grown up and learned many techniques from her specifically. My mother and I, also have plenty of experience with rescue work, for many years we rescued dogs from high-kill shelters, we then rehabilitated them for many months before finding their destined home. We also have done years of rescue work with cats/kittens, rescuing injured and/or abandoned cats/kittens and rehabilitating them until they were eventually ready to go to their forever homes as-well. At one point in my life, I co-founded an exotic animal transport business. We traveled the country transporting exotic animals for zoos, rescues, conservations, and private collectors. At one point, having over 100 venomous/non-venomous reptiles. Obviously, I have left that behind now that I have my son. I also have alot of experience with poultry aswell, I used to raise and rescue ducks, chickens, and turkeys! I have worked in pet stores, spend lots of spare time studying, learning, and have had a lot of incredible mentors in my life. I can give advice in foods, toys, preventatives, and lots of other animal supplies. I can also give advice on any behavioral issues that your pet may have. I am currently training my poodle to be my personal service dog. I definitely have a passion for helping animals.. I find that many animals are sadly misunderstood, but every one is just as valuable and deserving of love as the next. If you are considering me as a pet sitter, please feel free to write me with any questions you may have. I’ll respond as soon as possible! Im more than willing to work on prices as-well, it’s hard to get by nowadays and I know things are easy. I’m honestly much more interested in meeting and caring for pets than making a profit from someone who just needs some help. Please feel free to look through the gallery of my photos, I would say 90% of the animals shown were either my personal pets or rescues. Otherwise, I was pet-sitting them! :) LOISW05421, https://www.rover.com/sit/loisw05421 *Discount code* I don’t work, I am blessed to be a stay-at-home mom. I wake up at 7am and go to bed at 10pm. I have full availability! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I know how to manage dogs with anxiety, mental disorders, and some types of aggression. I have a variety of crates, if you would like me to use them. I would NEVER use a crate that is too small, and I would NEVER leave your dog alone in the crate unless you specifically request it. Your animal will be my top priority and concern, I will care and love them as if they were my own!

“Maya had a quick response for a short notice request. Seemed like my dog enjoyed himself too. Thanks!”

Comfort: I ensure your pet has access to their favorite toys, bedding, and spaces where they feel secure. Cleanliness: I keep their environment tidy, cleaning up after meals, walks, or accidents.

At a clients house I will accommodate any needs their pets may have or continue with the animals routines as close as I can!

About: Even as a baby I have always been around animals, and when I started to crawl and sit up my first playmates was a grey rescue cat and a old rottweiler. As I grew up I became more of a animal lover, showing no fear believing that every animal deserve love and to be treated right I currently do not have a job besides helping watching my niece once in awhile, while my parents are at work and I will soon being enrolling in college part time I live on a 160 acre farm, with open fields, a lake and plenty of space to play. A very long drive way, so it there will always be distance between us and a main road. I also have three pug-chihuahua of my own, who will either love to play with your pet or simply just leave them be, the dogs are fine with cats, seeing as I have two of my own, the cats will hide at first until they know your pet better. And lastly I have a rabbit who is shy and curious. None have any of my animals have ever been aggressive and all my cats and dogs are fixed. But if needed I can separate and crate your pet if needed.
