“I'm satisfied that Ashley and Pixie have a great rapport. I have confidence knowing that she takes great care of Pixie while on their walks together! Thank you, Ashley!!”
“Alex was wonderful! She was very kind and engaged. She wanted to make sure she knew all of the information about our fur baby and what he enjoys most. I was able to breathe a little easier knowing that he was well taken care of while I was at work. We will be using Alex weekly.”
About: I can help in my home or yours! If coming to my home they absolutely must be up to date with flea treatment. This is for the good of all. If they are on natural treatments and it requires a daily spray or pill please let me know and I can do that. If you have a special request please ask. Depending on your area, I can visit more often or offer pet sitting for your dogs in my home if you have more than one. Each client and their needs are unique , so adaptations can be made to fit your needs. Hello there, I currently have a mini dachshund and a puggle. I have had dogs all of my life (mostly lab mixes) and am familiar with the needs of the short snout dogs. We do have central air in our home. Our fenced in yard also backs up to a park where we go out and walk the trails daily. I work with an animal rescue and have fostered bunches of puppies to older dogs, as well as kittens and birds. Pets are pure love and would treat anyone else's furbaby as they were my own. I am honest, trustworthy and very reliable. It would be my honor to care for someone else's pet while they go on vacation or go out of town on business. Your pet will be in wonderful hands with my family! I look forward to hearing from you and your pets! Seeing a dogs smile because he is on a fantastic walk is my therapy as well. I look forward to meeting your furbaby needs, they are family. Overnight stays at your place, if Im already watching a dog at your place and your have a cat as well, its only 5.00 a day for your kitty. Include lots of love, feeding times, any medications and litter box change at each use. I am also a nurse and Reiki Master/holistic therapist, so your baby will be spoiled with massages and much love. If you are interested in your pet having a Reiki session while with me that can be done. Additional cost. I also can send text up dates with photos as well. I'm currently working part time. I will be off all summer so I am adjusting my rates lower to help your family out to enjoy a well deserved vacation. So lots of time for snuggles and walks. We have motion lights out back so I can see where they are at night too when let out to potty. I have two friendly dogs that will play with your fur baby. If you crate train and would like me to continue that here we can do that. If you don't want them on the couch at your house we can also do that here for your pup as well

About: I've had many types off animals over the years and have them all. I have two awesome cats right now. I've had dogs from the smallest chihuahua up to large breeds like our current dog Marla who is a Rottweiler/Boxer/Pitbull mix. I've taken care of injuries and administered medication to animals as well.

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!
About: I’ve had dogs around my house for my whole life, & have volunteered at dog shelters for 4 years now.

I am able to walk, play, and care for your dog(s) at any time during the week/weekends. I have a large backyard and live next to many trails. I also have 1 fur-baby at home (male, mix) to keep your dog company, and I have a large crate (if needed/preferred)!
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.
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.
