Dog Walking Springfield

About: Welcome to Bed N. Biscuit Petcare!❤️ My name is Shayla (34 years old) and I am excited to share my petsitting journey/business with you. ▪️Get to know me: I was born and raised in Valdosta, GA. In my hometown, I volunteered at the local animal shelter for 4 years working with domestic, exotic and farm pets. I knew then animals was my love and enjoyment. Following my passion for animals, I moved to the city of Savannah where I graduated from Armstrong State University with a bachelors in Biology and volunteered at a local wildlife rehabilitation center. I have learned and developed my Veterinary skills and knowledge from working as a kennel technician caring for pets in a boarding environment then naturally transitioning to a Veterinary technician career at a general vet hospital and then later at a specialty practice that included oncology, neurology, physical therapy, internal medicine and also ER. I enjoy applying my years of experience to the well-being of animals and now offering pet care services. My dream home would be living on a farm but for now my husband (Antonio), our son (Levi) and I live with our pitbull mix (Pixie) and cat (Sir Tom). When not volunteering or fostering, I can be found at dog parks with Pixie or fishing with my husband and son. I currently work part time at a local veterinary hispital and offer drop-in services around my work schedule and boarding in my home. ****Please continue to read to ensure full understanding of my business. Thank you for your interest and consideration. **** ————————————————————— [Bed N’ Biscuit’s Information] ▪️Complimentary Meet & Greet Meet & Greet (one): Drop-in meet & greet are done at the location the pet is needing care and scheduled upon our agreed date and time (video chat option also available). If you would like more than one meet & greet then a drop-in fee is applied. ▪️Drop-in Visits We offer 30 minute and 60 minute drop-in visits for pets (cats, dogs, chickens, fish, hamster/Guinea pig, horses, some reptiles). I care for your pet(s) in the comfort of their own home. Great for potty/play breaks during long work schedules and extended vacations or for more sensitive/elder pets for example. Included in this service (if applicable) is bringing in mail, rotating house lights, playtime/potty time for your pet(s), and poop clean up (using your provided materials), litter box scooping. **Prices vary for small animal care or homestead animal care* ————————————————————— [Bed N Biscuit General Rules] • All pets receiving services must be up to date on vaccines and flea/tick prevention. I’m currently working part time as a Vet Tech M-Th so I offer drop-in and boarding services around my work schedule and am a stay at home mom when not at the hospital. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home and stick to the owners routine as much as possible. All care needs will be met for both owner and pet. Any boarding dogs will receive all care and routine in the comfort of my family home. Boarding is provided 1 per household at a time with a max of 2 pets per household. Please reach out to discuss you and your pets needs.

“Ashley was wonderful with my dog Lexy! She replied promptly and proposed a Meet & Greet which I truly appreciated so I could see how she handled my pup. She updated me throughout the walk & gave me peace of mind that Lexy was safe with her. I will definitely book with Ashley again!”

About: I had a a mixed breed dog she lived until she was about 11 years old. She had a heart murmur and a really bad knee so I know how to help support a dog that might have health problems or mobility issues. I have taken care of another larger dog of border collie blue heeler mix that has battled dislocating hips, throwing out her back and cancer. She is 11 now I have worked with a senior Great Pyrenees and I know these aren’t dogs, but I have taken care of multiple rescue animals from anything from fish all the way up to a cat and I have nursed every single one of them back to health so I do have experience giving animals medicines My schedule is a little bit all over the place. I never really know exactly what days I am off or not but as of right now, I should be available between 11 a.m. to about 2 PM but depending on the day I can work later I will make sure that your pet will not get into anything. It’s not supposed to make sure your pet does not escape your house. I will follow your instructions of how you want me to take care to your pet if your pet is to be let outside in a gate I will make sure that the gate is locked and secured if your dog needs to be chained outside. I will make sure that the chain and whatever it is secure to is stable and the dog will not get loose. I will ensure your pet safety if I’m walking your dog or if it’s in your house, I will make sure that no other animal comes after your pet. If I am at your home, I’m not gonna let anybody into your home that you do not personally know and without your verbal consent that that person can enter your home.

“Shannon was wonderful!! She was flexible, and followed my “to-do” list to the letter. She made leaving our new puppy so much easier and she helped keep up with her “training”, which we so so appreciated. I would highly recommend this young lady to anyone needing pet care.”

About: I have been a pet owner for 10 plus years to include both large and small dogs as well as cats and I look forward to the opportunity to help care for your fuzzy family I currently have an open availability weekends as well as evenings and mornings during the week and if need be during lunch hours as well I have access to a large backyard as well as several walking trails and a dog park that is in my neighborhood and of course am always happy to take you pets out on adventures to hiking trails

About: My whole life I’ve had multiple pets in the home, growing up I had 3 cats and 2 dogs. I currently have a puppy and a cat, I raised the puppy from 4 weeks old to 8 months old. I have experience fostering all kinds of pets especially cats. My career as a pet groomer is centered around dogs and their behaviors, so I have ample experience with all different breeds and behaviors. I work full time as a pet groomer so I’m constantly around pets! I currently have a 8 month old Chihuahua mix and a 1 year old tabby cat and absolutely adore having them around. I’m off all day Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays and would be available all day! I would be able to help out after 6:30 the rest of the weekdays! I make sure your pet is in their own comfortable environment and follow their regular routine! I have both of my pets on a schedule for eating, exercise, play time and sleeping. All pets need stimulation and companionship, I prefer to play with your pet for a while and keep them company for as long as you need. I’m not just there to feed the pet, but also provide your pet with comfort and care while making sure they’re getting enough mental stimulation!

About: Pets are family, and I understand how much trust it takes to place their safety and well-being in someone else’s hands. My dog is my everything, and he has his own unique quirks and special accommodations, so I know firsthand that pet care is never one-size-fits-all. I will take the time to learn your pet’s personality, routine, preferences, and individual needs while carefully listening to your requests. My goal is to care for your pet the way you would, whether that means extra patience, a favorite walking route, a specific feeding routine, special accommodations, or plenty of cuddles and reassurance! I will treat your pet like one of my own and provide warm, attentive care that helps both you and your pet feel safe, comfortable, and at ease. I work full time during the week, so pet care fits best into my evenings and weekends, when I can be fully present and give each pet the attention they deserve. I’m available for weekend walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, and I plan my schedule carefully so I never overcommit. Caring for my own dog is already an important part of my daily routine, so walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of love come naturally to me! I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routines. I take time to understand each pet’s feeding schedule, walking routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions or accommodations they may need. I will treat your home with respect and care for your pet as closely as possible to the way you would. This includes providing meals and fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship, bathroom breaks, and plenty of affection based on your pet’s individual preferences. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!

“Best person I've found. Stayed with him longer then the service and enjoyed being with my dog. I will be continuing to use her. Could not be happier.”

About: I am a pet lover who really enjoys to engage with animals. It is a form of therapy as well as exercise for both me and your fur. I have been around animals all my life. I enjoy being a caregiver for such an important part of your family. I have experience with show dogs, grooming, and dog behavior. My number one concern is giving the owner piece of mind that one’s pet is safe and cared for while the owner is away. A dogs surroundings is what makes that fur most comfortable. It will be an honor to serve you and your pet. Finally, I will provide you daily updates, pictures, and videos of the care and love I provide to your pet. Thank you for trusting me with an important part of your family

About: I always been involved in dog care; that's why we fell in love. I take care of the dogs of our families, friends, and neighbors for long time ago and usually when we see any dogs living on the street we tried to find a family Im working Part-time but I have time to play with them or take care of them. Im really happy with them Actually I’m trying to be at home always bc we have 3 bebes to care I have space, a porch and front porch our house is very comfortable for them and we always think about them y we love to go to the park

About: I've had over 20 years of pet care experience, ranging between several different dog breeds and sizes, cats, rodents, reptiles, and even some bird-sitting. I understand each pet is different in their own way, some needing certain medications or volumes of food and water, and other pets are easier to take care of, but their owners need someone last minute to help watch and take care of their beloved pets. I also know when it comes to more than one pet in the household, some pets can get rowdy with each other and may tend to hurt one other, so I'm used to cleaning up after and treating the occasional bites or scratches they inflict. Having to give medications, give special food, and even seeing blood or recent wounds on animals doesn't stop me from providing the care they need while their owners are away at work or vacation or whatever else life has thrown their way. I've been known to be a reliable petsitter by many friends and family members over the years, and I make sure to follow all needs and specifications for each pet, regardless of their age and their size. At the moment, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and then on Mondays and Wednesdays I am attending a class from 9:30 AM to 12:30 AM, which anytime before or afterwards I can help walk or watch over pets. While I do not currently offer petsitting at my own home due to my roommates, I understand that every owner's household and every pet is different. I make sure that each of the doors and windows are closed and locked for the pet's safety, unless otherwise specified by the owners. If there are certain rooms or parts of the house off-limits to myself or the pets, I keep us away from those areas for the owner's privacy. And if the pets do tend to make a mess or I use any of the utilities of the home to help clean and take care of the pets, I make sure that everything is turned off and cleaned up afterwards so there are no messes for the owners when they return to their home and beloved pets.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I currently have one dog here in savannah named Pax, and have raised and cared for my two childhood dogs, Buddy and Brownie, along with occasional sitting for my aunts three legged disabled dog named Wags, giving me hands-on experience with daily routines, behavior, and long-term care. I also have taken care of a cat full time for a year so I have experience with cats as well. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure every animal feels safe and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and pay close attention to their individual needs, whether they’re energetic or more relaxed. I’m currently a student at SCAD, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m available on weekends and weekdays before or after my classes, with lots of time in the afternoons and evenings for walks, playtime, and attention. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have hands-on experience caring for cats as well. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and routine, and I always follow owner instructions carefully. I can crate if needed, keep spaces clean, and make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and happy.
