Pet Sitting Shiocton

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs with a variety of needs, including regularly dog-sitting for a dog with epilepsy and administering care according to their specific health requirements. I am certified in dog training and have experience working with a comfort dog through my university, which has helped me develop strong skills in reading canine behavior, building trust, and providing calm, consistent care. In addition, I have completed multiple courses focused on compassionate care, allowing me to provide attentive, patient, and individualized support for every dog I care for. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, a puppy, a senior, or has special medical needs, I am committed to ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I work full time, but I have availability in the afternoons after work and am fully available on weekends to stay with and care for pets. I’m committed to making sure each dog gets consistent attention, exercise, and companionship during those times. I’m reliable and able to plan my schedule in advance to ensure I can meet each pet’s needs while their owners are away. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and trustworthy environment for every pet in my care, whether in my home or the client’s home. I closely follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, medication, routines, and behavior needs to ensure consistency and comfort for the pet. When caring for dogs in my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space with constant supervision and a structured routine for walks, playtime, and rest. I have experience caring for dogs with special medical needs, including epilepsy, and I am attentive to any signs of stress or health changes. I am certified in dog training and use positive reinforcement and calm handling techniques to build trust and reduce anxiety. Additionally, my experience working with a comfort dog and training in compassionate care has strengthened my ability to provide patient, gentle, and responsible care for animals of all temperaments and needs.

“Cassandra was fantastic! She stopped by the week before for a meet-and-greet and immediately sat on the floor to let our three dogs meet her. They took to her immediately. She provided lots of pictures and information when she came over, so we knew just how the dogs were. Highly recommended!”

“Julia did a wonderful job of caring for our critters. She followed our instructions perfectly. We will definitely be calling her again next time we need to go out of town.”

About: Pet care for 20+ years! I have a true heart for animals and a passion for exercising with them to promote their physical, mind and spiritual health! I will love yours like my own!❤️ I work full time M-F in pediatric health care and take care of our animals before and after work. I am also free most weekends! My husband works from home and has a flexible schedule during the day. Our daughter (11 years old) also loves to help with the animals! We are an outdoorsy, nature-loving family! We love to walk the dogs in the neighborhood and let them play and sniff all over our large yard. We currently have 2 dogs living with us - Oreo, a terrier, and Duke, a tripod yellow lab! Both are friendly rescue pups:)

“Kim and her son are the best pet sitters ever. They love our pets as much as we do. We love the pictures and updates. We can enjoy our vacation knowing Kim is taking care of our pets.”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs, love animals, provide love and affectionate care for them. Currently care for 1 dog, 6 cats and 6 bunnies. I'm passionate about animal care. I have a pretty flexible schedule and am available most holidays, or weekends. Enjoy playing and exercising with pets. 🩷💚 I can give plenty of exercise and playtime. I will brush dogs and cats. Love ❤️ to cuddle and comfort them throughout my time with them.

About: I currently have one dog at home, and he loves to have friends during the day. He is an Aussie-doodle, and is very playful. He is almost 6 years old. I am excited to offer care for other pets in my home. Your pet will be loved just as much as Tracker while they are with me. I am patient with all animals and have been around them my entire life. I am able to take care of puppies as well as senior dogs as well. I have had a lot of practice with giving medications for dogs. I will ensure that your animals needs are met anytime they are within my home. I am more than happy to send updates and pictures as often as you would like so you know how they are adjusting and doing. I work from home and I am able to watch and play with animals during the day and after work. Our yard is fenced in and has a large backyard to play in. I have three girls that I bring to school from 715-8am and then pick them up from 230-330. On the weekends I am available the entire day as I do not work weekends. I have a large fenced in yard. Anytime the animals are outside they gate will be shut. I will also endure any small animals are on a leash as they are outside so they are watched after. During the day, the animals will be within eye sight as I work upstairs.

About: I’ve spent several years providing reliable, compassionate care for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch, I tailor my approach to each animal’s unique needs. My experience includes daily walks, feeding routines, medication administration, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection to keep pets happy and relaxed while their families are away. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment so every pet feels comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my weekly rhythm, especially since I work from home three days a week. On those WFH days, I’m able to offer flexible, consistent attention—perfect for pets who enjoy companionship, regular check‑ins, or a steady routine. I build feeding times, walks or play sessions, potty breaks, and general wellness checks around my work blocks, making sure pets get the care and interaction they need throughout the day. On the days I’m in the office, I plan visits intentionally to keep each pet’s routine stable. Whether it’s morning care, midday enrichment, or evening check‑ins, I make sure every pet gets predictable, comforting attention. Because I’m used to balancing a hybrid schedule with pet responsibilities, I’m very organized and reliable about maintaining consistent care all week long. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine, environment, and comfort exactly the way they’re used to. I follow the owner’s instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, medication needs, and any household rules—so pets feel secure and stress‑free. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, whether they need extra play, quiet companionship, or a slow, gentle approach. I keep the home tidy and respectful, making sure food and water areas stay clean, litter boxes or potty routines are maintained, and any messes are handled right away. I also pay attention to small details like closing gates, locking doors, turning lights on or off as requested, and keeping the home feeling lived‑in and safe. Throughout the stay, I send updates and photos so owners always know how their pets are doing.

“Lanie did a great job coming at the scheduled times and sent cute pictures of all the animals so I knew they were well loved and taken care of when we were gone! I would definitely recommend.”

“Both of my dogs loved Finley. She does great with larger size breeds.”

About: I am very proud to be a "fear free handler". That's a big thing for me, if an animal is uncomfortable, I am 100% uncomfortable along with them.. learning their little quirks and finding ways to do things in the best way possible for that specific animal is what I do and I absolutely love doing it. I promise your animal will be cared for deeply while in my care. My passion has always been working with animals, providing them with the care and respect they deserve and I have extensive experience in the field. I’ve worked in horse barns, animal shelters, and dog boarding facilities, and I’m skilled in administering all types of medications, including insulin. Whether it’s feral cats or reactive dogs, I have the patience and expertise to help them adjust and thrive, including building trust with new people. I understand how intimidating change can be for animals, and I’m dedicated to making those transitions as smooth as possible. I’ve dedicated countless unpaid hours to caring for animals, driven solely by my love and commitment to their well-being. When you entrust me with your pet, I promise to care for them as if they were my own, providing compassion, patience, and unwavering dedication in every situation. I am pretty open with my schedule. I will love your babies like my own. I do work mon-thurs 3-9pm and Saturday 11-4. I am a perfectionist. If you tell me you want something done in a specific way or at a certain time, please let me know!! I'd be more than happy to jump through hoops to give your baby(s) what they need when and how they need it. I will put your animal above everything else, that's what I'm paid for and that's what I love doing.

About: I’ve had dogs in my home all my life!! Just looking to hang out with some pups and help out! Dog has to be good with a baby in the house and another dog. We have a mini Australian shepherd. Dogs will get walked at least 2 times daily! I am fully available weekdays and weekends! I do not leave the house for more than a couple hours at a time and would love to take your dog with me for car rides if I leave when possible! I will take excellent care of your fur baby! I can let them out as many times as preferred and I am okay with any kind of feeding schedule!
