About: Dog care has been a well known trade of mine for over 15 years. I am best with smaller-medium dogs, unless your big dog is a good walker! You can thank my sister’s lab for that last comment LOL. I am studying law, so I have flexible summers. My only job is remote, so I am able to work often. I do not plan to leave the Columbia area for long periods of time this summer. While my home is already occupied by my three cats, I will do whatever you feel necessary to respectfully watch your pets in your home. I offer zoom/skype/FaceTime calls during my stay if you ever want to see how your pet is doing!
About: Not only have I cared for dogs both large and small, I have taken care for multiple litters of puppies, from meal time, vigilance of a safe play space & hygiene maintenance before they headed off to their forever homes. I have also cat-sat for cats with special needs ranging from asthma, disabled and senior cat care. Responsiblie for and experienced in administering prescribed medications, monitoring accessibility to food, water, and litterbox & personalizing enrichment for each pets specific demands. I am working part time so the flexibility in my daily schedule allows me to accommodate your pets daily activities & needs when you have to be at work, weekend away or when you are out for a vacation My first priority is the safety of both your pets and myself when conducting myself throughout any pet care service. Treating each animal with the love and dignity they are entitled to when I step through the door, happy to personalize care, habits and routine as each unique pet needs it!
“This is my second time leaving my cat with Venetia and she was just as amazing! The pictures I got throughout the trip told me all I needed to know, that my cat loves Venetia and getting to play with her! Thank you, Venetia!”
“Gail is wonderful with our two dogs! She is dedicated to making sure your dogs are well taken care of. Our dogs are exercised well and happy to have her! She always sends us detailed updates and is very attentive.”
About: I’ve been obsessed with dogs my whole life. I spent the last 6 years getting paid to take care of dogs at a doggy daycare, which was a dream!! Now I’m focusing on my other passion, staying home with my own dogs lol I spend my days taking care of my three dogs, from feedings, treat dealing, and play time. They also get let out several times a day for potty breaks, but only for like 5 minutes when it’s 100°, much to the dismay of my beagle who likes to bake. My dogs aren’t high energy so they can do whatever they like. They’re allowed on the furniture, they have free range of the house, and they’re constantly let out for potty breaks and given lots of treats. Same with the cat, he just vibes.
About: Love living in the area, I have always enjoyed spending time outside in all seasons. On any kind of day, I would love to give your family member a walk/run in the neighborhood or at a nearby park/path or whichever they prefer to get some fresh year and exploration through the smells/sights. For the playful pup, I love to run around and play with them until the sun goes down. I have experienced many years with easy and difficult dogs as being a pet owner myself, finding love and care for all creatures all life from dogs all the way to my 3-year-old goldfish. I can not wait to meet your furry family member and give them all the pets and love they fully deserve!
About: Ive taken care of dogs my whole life! I love them! Neighbors and family have relied on me to feed, bathe, and of course trusted me with their dogs! I have had two dogs both 16 so I know how to not only handle puppy’s but also senior dogs! I’m currently enrolled in school but with that I have a lot of flexibility! I am free all of lunch and into the afternoon! I tend to wake up early around 7:30 so would be more than happy to help then! I am also free most weekends! I care for each dog like they’re my own by sticking to their usual routine, giving them plenty of love, attention, and exercise. I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. You’ll get daily updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands.
