About: Hi there! I grew up in a household where the family business was dog hair and dedication—my parent is a professional AKC dog handler, so I’ve been around show dogs and working breeds my whole life. I have hands-on experience with large breeds, especially working dogs, and know how to keep them happy, safe, and engaged. By day, I’m an elementary school teacher and equestrian coach—which means I’m very patient, love a good routine, and I’m no stranger to cleaning up messes and handing out treats! My real passion is showing horses, but animals of all kinds have always been part of my world. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, or a little extra TLC, I bring a calm, confident presence and a whole lot of love to every visit. I currently have availability in the evening and weekends. I am an elementary teacher so starting in June I will have more availability during the week! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I’m always thinking two steps ahead—whether it’s double-checking gates, watching for signs of stress, or anticipating how a dog might react in a new situation. I believe pets are happiest and most confident in their own familiar environments, which is why I prefer to care for them in-home whenever possible. My goal is to keep your pet feeling secure, calm, and cared for at all times.
About: I’ve taken care of my friends and family’s pets for 5 years all different sizes. Dig and small and I love every minute of it! I go to school from 5-10 pm (M-F) so I’m available any other time. I can do drop-ins (as long as it’s close to school or home) or overnight in your home. I play with them, feed them and take them on walks. If they want they can sleep in my room or bed with me as well!
About: I've had animals since I was little and am comfortable and experienced with a wide variety of animals. I have two dogs and two barn cats and love spending time with as many animals as I can! I am the go to pet sitter among all our friends and have had many jobs watching dogs and cats. I have trained all my own animals as well as helping friends train theirs. One of my dogs is a senior and I have had experience with taking care of other senior pups! I have also had seasonal work on small hobby farms and have worked with animals including goats, chickens, ducks, donkeys, horses, sheep, alpacas and pigs. I'm available for day jobs, check in jobs, or watching your dogs in my home. I get home around 3:30 on Tuesday-Thursday and work from home on Monday's and Friday's so I have a lot of time to play with all the fur babies! My husband, who is also a dog lover, is home in the evenings and the weekends to also love on your pet and make sure they get all the attention they deserve and need! If you're boarding or doing daycare at our house, while we don't have a fenced yard, we have a full acre and have two friendly dogs that love playing with new friends and help keep them in our yard! I can also take dogs out on a leash if needed to keep them safe. We have plenty of space in our house to crate your pet or to give them their own space away from our dogs if they need a little break. I do require a meet and greet with my pups to make sure they are a good fit together! When taking care of pets in your home, I am able to bring one of my dogs to play if they work well together and if you want them to get a little extra energy out.
About: We have plenty of property for animals to run and play! And a large home that is welcoming to humans and animals! We have a dog, 2 cats, 2 bunnies and chickens! I only work a couple of hours each week so I have plenty of time and energy to play with your pet! We have a dog that also loves having friends come over! We treat our dog, cats and bunnies as members of the family and will treat your pets the same! We look forward to caring for your pets!
About: I am very concerned with safety and will make sure to proactively address anything that may be important. I am a naturally caring and loving person. I am a good communicator and would give thorough updates. I'm working part-time while I go back to school. I I have several hour-long breaks in my day so that will allow me to care for pets in between those times. I will follow any schedules provided and make sure that your pet is comfortable as they can be while you are away. I have experience with very nervous dogs and I'm good at comforting.
About: I’ve always had experience with animals since I was young, I am a huge empath for animals of all kinds. I can guarantee your pet will be well loved and taken care of with me. Pet care is a top priority in my schedule as I go where I’m needed! Pet care falls into my daily routine as I love to see them as much as possible! Trust in another environment is very important, being able to build trust with others animals is a huge responsibility that requires patience, reliability, and great care.
About: I have had dogs and cats in my home for 50 years. I absolutely love pets, and treat them like they are just part of the family! I am retired so I have plenty of time to pet sit. I have always loved pets and would enjoy making sure your fur baby is content and happy. I live on a private road in a rural so traffic is mostly very minimal. However, I do leash walk pets so they are safe.
About: I have watched a multitude of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, lizards and even alpacas. I love training dogs and would gladly help train puppies and even older dogs. I am also experienced in giving medication to dogs and cats. I am on call for a doggy daycare so my schedule is completely free to pet sit any day other then Tuesdays from 3 until 6. Unfortunately I can't watch pets in my own home because I personally have a few pets of my own. I walk my dog every other day and bring him to the dog park on the opposite days and I will gladly walk your dogs every day or bring them to the dog park to play. I also have a cat of my own. My cat has a very sensitive stomach so I am used to cleaning messes and giving medication.
About: I started house sitting for family/friends when I was younger. I’ve worked at a dog boarding facility since the day I turned 16 and absolutely love animals! I know a lot of pets don’t like the kennel environment so I’m here to offer that in home experience for your furry family members! My working schedule is pretty flexible if given some notice. I work agency so I only pick up shifts as needed and don’t pickup when I’m sitting :) Let me know your routine and I will follow as instructed. i enjoy whatever your pet enjoys! Whether it’s multiple walks a day or just chilling on the couch! I also can administer medications from insulin injections to just daily pills.
