About: I’ve been experienced with dogs/animals for over 10 years. I’m currently a dog trainer that trains beginner/advanced on leash and off leash obedience. I have a passion for dogs and want to make sure they have the best experience while their owners are away! I have 3 dogs of my own that I compete with in dock diving and waterfowl hunt tests. I’m a super active dog owner that loves to get outdoors! While taking care of your pup they would be treated like my own. I want to give pet parents the piece of mind that their pup is happy and well cared for! I’m very open with communication to make sure everything goes smoothly while in my care. I have my own schedule with being a dog trainer. I dedicate most of my time to dogs/animals. This is my full time job and can always be available. I am super hyper vigilant when it comes to pet safety. Always having a long line attached to your pups if we’re ever on a trail walk. Making sure I have an extra leash. Always going the next step to make sure the dogs are safe.

About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals since I was a child. I have experience with dogs, cats, small animals, and a farm animals. Have spent 17 years working in animal rescue and volunteering in a veterinary setting. In a professional capacity I ran a dog kennel, doggy day care, and grooming salon. I will love and care for your pets like my own! I run Southern Heart Animal Rescue a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to serving needy animals in our community full time. My schedule is completely flexible and can be arranged to suit you and your pet's needs. My home environment is full of love and attention. I do have a fenced yard, the back is 1 acre and double fenced, but the animals are always supervised outside. I have a very active family and am always taking the pups on long walks and hikes. I love taking the dogs to all the parks, exploring, swimming, and making new adventures! We have three people in our house, my partner, my dad, and myself. Between the three of us there is always someone at the house. My dogs are silly, playful, and very used to new dogs coming and going due to my animal rescue. My cats are also incredibly social and used to new animals. Animal rescue does that to the resident animals. 😊

About: I come from a farming background, and have cared for dogs and cats in a variety of environments. I worked as a livestock manager for farming operations a total of 5+ years, besides having owned and raised many of my own pets since I was a kid. I have often volunteered to pet sit for friends and relatives, including both dogs and cats. I can handle all basic daily needs, feeding, walking, monitoring, and even administer medications if required. I am on a seasonal break for the holidays, and looking to supplement my income. I can visit daily within a reasonable distance, or stay overnights when required. Aside from some dates I will block out around Christmas, I have open availability! I will come to you for pet care. Cats will be fed according to their schedule, litter cleaned daily. Dogs will be walked at or near feeding times, and let out for potty breaks as needed throughout the day. Lots of love given at all times! If there are other medical needs I will need details of their care when setting up an appointment.

About: Hello! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I’ve also cared for cats, including my own for 6+ years. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I offer drop-in visits and dog walks, and I take pet care seriously. I’m very observant and attentive to body language, routines, and small behavior changes so your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a calm, steady walk or your cat just wants company and reassurance, I adjust to their personality and needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I give my own. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. These hours are consistent for me, and I’m happy to provide dependable midday care while you’re at work or away. I prioritize safety during every visit by securing leashes, doors, and gates and carefully following your pet’s routine. I respect your home, leave things tidy, and always double-check that everything is secure before I leave.

As a farmer, I have a flexible schedule to provide for your needs & have been a farm-sitter for many satisfied folks!

About: I have had experience working on a farm with a variety of animals. I also worked at a boarding resort for dogs and cats where I followed feeding schedules, worked with fearful and aggressive dogs and cats, and played with animals residing there. My major in college is animal science with a concentration of pre-veterinarian. I am currently in college taking animal science courses and working around animals weekly. I have pets of my own as well and watch them on a day to day basis. I make sure to build a foundation of trust with the animal before anything. I want your pet to feel comfortable and safe around me and that involves taking things slow and making sure they are comfortable with me. I will feed and water your pet, take them on walks and play with them and make sure they get the exercise needed. Not only that but it depends on how the owner prefers things. If an animal is injured, I won’t over exercise them and do small things like taking a few steps to walk. As long as your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy!

About: I have been surrounded by pets - dogs, cats, horses, cows, birds, reptiles, and everything in between - my entire life! I joined 4H when I was 6 years old as a “clover bud” and have spent the past 10 years learning to care for and train horses, dogs, and goats. Outside of my own furry family, I have assisted my mother with her horse training and pet sitting business, and also started caring for my own homes & farms as soon as I could drive! I work part-time, I am available all day Mondays through Wednesdays, and until 3pm Thursdays to Sundays. My schedule is pretty flexible, and can be available after work if needed. For the safety of your pets and our own dogs and other small pets, we do not currently offer any at home services. Hoping to in the future!

About: Hi! I love all kinds of animals and I look forward to helping you when you need to trust someone to take care of your pets while you are away. I currently have 2 indoor/outdoor dogs, and 5 (yes, 5!) indoor cats. I do have a part time job I work at from 3 pm to 11 pm on Sundays and Mondays, but I work with my very good business partner, Ashley, and she covers the times that I cannot be there. The rate I charge covers both of us, or a tank of gas for me on the one night only bookings. With the cost of living going up, I had to raise my rates. I wish I didn't have to, but I wouldn't be able to attempt to make this my full time job if I didn't. I am always open to negotiating rates as needed, especially for people who need care and are tight on funds (it is a cruel world out there for the working class right now). I always ask for a meet and greet before booking any bookings, except for same day bookings, and this would be a time where you let me know if you have any cost constraints. I do have a job working two days out of the week, but I have an amazing friend who works with me for pet care needed when I am working for the 16 hours a week. Let us help you by taking a little work and worry off your shoulders! I have 10+ acres ready for some exploring! I also have some outdoor toys to entertain the playful babies. I have two playful pups that are always down for company. I can crate your pet if needed.
