“Katherine always takes great care of my two cats. Even if my boys don't show their shy little faces, I appreciate that Katherine sends pics of their food status and any evidence of silly play. 😸 I'm so grateful for the peace of mind that my kitties are well cared for while I'm away.”

About: Aside from my 3 personal pets, I have raised 4 Seeing Eye dogs and pet sat for over a dozen families. I have experience in dog first aid, potty training, and reactive dogs. Socialization is important and I have the knowledge on how to do so safely for each individual dog. All breeds of dogs are welcome. I work from home and am available 24/7. I love being able to take the dogs on either long walks or a quick potty break. I have a fenced in yard and a crate available for any size dog. I am aware of dog safe foods and carry Benadryl and hydrogen peroxide for emergencies.
About: Life long animal lover I've taken care of many different kinds of pets! I had a frog growing up, fish, cats, dogs, and I've helped pet sit numerous times for a friend for his goat, chickens, turtle, geese, turkeys, ducks, and dogs (puppies, adult dogs and a senior dog with medications who needed extra tlc). I also work here and there at a local horse farm feeding and cleaning stalls as well as turning 45+ horses out to pasture. I'm used to handling strong pulling animals (I like to think being able to handle an antsy 1200+ lb animal prepares me for most anything haha), and my own strong pulling dog so I'm well versed to handling eager dogs on walks. I've been able to administer medications to senior dogs, my own dog needed 5 different medicines for a few weeks during heartworm treatment and my cat currently is transitioning to a prescription urinary diet so I know a few tricks to getting medicine to them as well as doling out special meals. I'm currently switching to working 2 part time jobs 7 days a week to only working 1 of those jobs maybe 2-3 days a week so I'm looking to fill my time with taking care of your furry best friends and probably working more at the horse farm too. My schedule for work is made at least a month in advance and I don't work weekends since I work for a dental office so I have some free time to do this now. Looking to walk your dog, drop in on your cats/dogs while you're away and maybe open to short overnight stays in your home if I can arrange for my own doggie to be taken care of because he gets really lonely and upset if I'm not home at night, otherwise I'd have it on my profile that I was available for that too. I will follow your every instruction and request for taking care of your pet in your home, I can crate you dog and handle letting them out, making sure they don't get off leash or out of your fenced in yard and make sure your cat doesn't slip out the doorway when I come in. I have some sneaky pets myself sometimes and I feel I've become a master at outsmarting even the sneakiest pet. I'll make sure your pets have plenty of fresh water, the right amount of food, nothing is left out for them to get into or chew up, and cleaned litterboxes! I believe in treating your pet like my own and providing the utmost care and respect for both them and your home.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for a total of 5 years. I volunteered at an animal shelter to take care of cats, and worked for a few months taking care of dogs. I have also dog sat for friends when they went away and didn't have any issues. I have 2 dogs, one I got in January 2022 (chapo) and the other (pablo) in March 2022. Mr. Chapo was a rescue from the spca and we have had Mr. Pablo since he was 3 months old. Chapo is an American staffordshire and is 7.5 years old and pablo is 3.5 years old. I want everyone to be aware that I work full time and can be available in the mornings Sunday-Wednesday’s. I am free all day every other Wednesday. I am available all day Thursday-Saturday. I am more than happy to dog sit overnight/in the morning before i go to work. I will work with you so we can make sure your little one (or big one) is cared for! I am available on most weekends. Holidays may differ depending on my schedule. I let Chapo out when I get home and let him roam around outside because he just sleeps most of the day. When I am not home he is inside. Pablo is in his crate when I am at work. He likes going outside but not a huge fan. I will care for your pet however you would like since its your fur baby!
“Megan was very thorough and very good to my kitties. She kept me informed on how they were doing and sent photos. I felt that were in very good hands. I will definitely request Megan again and i highly recommend her to others. She's awesome!”
“Sherry is awesome! I would highly recommend her services. She’s great with my dogs. One of which is high energy and the other is shy and timid and she’s taken her time and to make friends with both of them. She is also very kind, flexible and a great communicator. 5/5”
About: I grew up around dogs and currently have 2 pitbull, boxer mixes. I have always been good with dogs. I love to go outside and will take as long of a walk as they want. I know a little bit of training, and can be consistent with it. I will always spend time giving them cuddles and listen to their cues if they want to go outside, or be feed. I would like to work with other dogs outside of the ones I have or my family has. I work full time in Fort Washington, but i have the ability to work from home if the animals need someone around all the time. I don't normally have to much to do on the weekends or nights after work. I will definitely cuddle and spend time with your animals after work for as long as they need I don't normally have dogs or cats come to my house, but I am willing to stay at my clients house if it makes the client and/or animals lives easier. I make sure before I leave that the house is back to what it was before hand. I don't touch or use anything I am not allowed. I stay mainly in the room I can sleep in, living room and kitchen. I would never disrespect a client
About: I grew up with a family dog and have pet-sat for friends and neighbors. My dog has some anxiety and can be too smart for his own good sometimes, so I can handle difficult personalities. I love all animals but have the most experience with dogs and cats. I am taking the summer off regular work after completing college at Calvin University. My regular schedule is extremely flexible, though I may have random activities I commit to week to week. I will talk to them mostly using commands they would know in phrases and use tone of voice to help convey my message. I am patient and calm. I will stick to their regular food schedule and check on their water and watch for signs of needing to go out, such as restlessness or ringing bells, in between regularly taking them out. Regular pets and maybe cuddles and some play time are always an option if it suits the pet.
“I wish it would let me tip more than 30%! Another great visit, thank you so much Suzanne!! Cinder is so happy when you take care of her!! I appreciate everything you do to make this so easy when we go away. Thank you again!!🙂❤️🙂”
About: I have a lot of experience with puppies growing up and have been relied on by family and friends to care for their animals without any worries I am currently in nursing school and work part time, but I am available some weekends and flexible during the week, I go to class 6-10pm Tu,W,Th I have a 2yr old golden retriever to keep others entertained and she is so so loving and sweet. Lots of room for her to run around and private area away from the road.
About: Hi everyone! I have had dogs my whole life growing up and always helped taking care of them. I cannot remember a day I ever went without a dog. I would love to help out other pups and their pup parents and give them some extra loving, release some energy out with a nice stroll or two, and have some cuddles if wanted! I am a fun, energetic, loving, and positive person. I do not have much experience in giving injections but medication pills I can work with! I hope to meet you and your furry friend sometime soon. 🤗 I work full time during the day M-F so my evenings throughout the week and weekends are free for walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I do not have a fenced in yard but they will never be outside alone and can be leashed at all times outside if that it is preferred. Our household is open to lots of snuggles and playtime.
