About: I have been pet-sitting for my neighbors, boss, and co-workers since 2010. While I occasionally board pets in my home, I usually provide pet/house-sitting in the customer's home. I walk/feed/brush dogs, administer oral medication if indicated, and spend time playing with them. I also take in mail, water plants, and take out trash/recycling. I am a newly retired teacher, so I am now available full time for all of your pet care needs any time 7 days a week. If I am providing care in my home, I can offer to take dogs for a walk in a nearby state park. I try to keep the pets' feeding and walking schedules consistent with that of the owners.
About: Hi! My name is Taegan and I’m 23 years old. I’ve been working with dogs and cats since I was 16 and am extremely passionate about providing quality care for all pets. I take pride in my patience, adaptability, and my commitment to providing the same level of care that pets would receive from their own families. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I currently work at a dog daycare and boarding facility and would love to continue to work with animals and meet more furry friends. I’m currently working part time at a dog daycare and boarding facility. I’m most often available in the afternoons and on weekends although my schedule varies week to week. While providing care in my clients homes I strive to utilize outdoor space as well as going on walks if possible. Enrichment and exercise are crucial to any pets’ wellbeing! When outdoor space is not available I like to turn to indoor activities and lots of affection.
“If I had wanted to find someone better I wouldn't have been able to. Excellent job, they took good care of my dogs and followed the instructions given to the letter. Highly recommended, I will call you again when I need someone to take care of my dogs! Thank you. Cheyenne and Sean 😀”

“Jaylene came the day after our meet and greet to walk our dog Remi! She was easy to communicate with to make plans and schedule.

Remi and I look forward to our next booking with Jaylene!”

About: I have had lots of felines through the years and really love taking care of them. I also love playing with dogs and taking them for long walks. They have lots of energy and love exploring as much as I do. 🐕 I have lots of time to care for and play with your felines, dogs and birds. It is the best time of the year to get outside and explore the area with dogs. We start the day by taking a walk and eating breakfast. Follow the pet's usual walking route unless otherwise instructed. I allow the dog to explore and sniff within safe limits. I provide exercise tailored to the dog's age, breed, and health. I avoid interactions with unknown dogs and people to prevent any potential conflicts.
