Dog Sitting Sumner

About: I have 3 dogs who love to play with other dogs. I also love to play with other dogs! I love going to the dog park and getting to pet new dogs. I have a Pekinese, Pitbull, and Pitbull mix, they are very gentle with their tiny brother. I work from home and work for myself, so I make my own schedule. I can take them on walks when needed, go on potty breaks when needed, attention when needed. Ideal situation. I have a fully fenced yard and my dogs like to chase each other around. Inside same thing, we really don't have any rules, except dogs stay downstairs. We love to play with them and wrestle around, but also respect when they need their space or when they just need cuddles.

“So flexible and understanding! Kristine stepped in even after hours to help in a pinch. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone reliable!!”

About: I've been an avid animal lover all my life and have had pets (everything from dogs and cats, to rescued dwarf hamsters and injured wildlife) since I was a kid. My parents weren't thrilled when I ran a pet rescue at age 7, but it stayed with me, working with Wildlife rehabilitators well into college. I hung up my "official" rescue hat to raise kids and work in corporate but continue to care for pets (my own 1 dog & 2 cats) and enjoy meeting new furbaby friends frequently. I have a flexible work schedule (self employed holistic coaching) so add in pet care as my schedule and interest permits. I'm not one for sitting idle, so love filling up time with meaningful activities including pet care. I consider each pet's needs and personalities and make sure to care for them from that perspective. Whether it is an anxious pup who needs to feel safe, a confident cat who needs attention at her own will, or a rambunctious pup who needs to be run, I love it all.

About: I have taken care of lots of animals since I was little. I have lots of expirence with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, bunnies. I have used pet pads, litter boxes, training tequniques for dogs to sit, shake, lay down and roll over and to wait. I have worked with new born puppies/kittens to elderly animals. 😍 I have worked with really shy doggos to some super cuddly oversize lap dogs with all the energy. 🤪😂🩷 I only work part time, and I have weekends off and afternoon evenings off so I have plenty of time to play with furry friends! I have leashes, and am comfortable going on lots of walks in nearby areas. I can offer treats and some toys if the client would like.

About: I have almost 5 years of pet care experience as a professional career and have been involved in dogs starting in 4H when I was in middle school. I have dealt with most breeds and energy levels. I’m currently working part-time and am pretty flexible with my schedule. During this time of year early morning is the safest and preferred option. A meet and greet before our first walk to go over your dogs behavior and routine to help keep things as safe and enjoyable for your pup as possible.

About: My family has owned dogs and cats since before I have memories. I was that kid that preferred to watch Animal Planet and I've always been passionate about all critters. I started working as a stable hand with horses when I was only 10. I also worked at Sumner Veterinary Hospital in the boarding facility for a little over a year and received employee of the month twice in that time. During my time working at Sumner Vet I worked with all breeds and temperaments! It truly was some of the most rewarding work of my life. I currently have one 25lb mutt dog that I love and my first personal dog was my Rottie mix, Rocky. My family housed dogs and cats of every kind. I'm not skitish when it comes to "large personalities" and am confident in getting to know your fur baby at their pace. Know that with me, your fur babies are in loving, patient and experienced hands I currently work as a dog trainer and am attending school for behavior modification. I love walks myself and can't wait to walk your puppers. I have experience handling every kind of dog, and cat. From sweet and excited to shy or reactive. I can administer medications and am very thorough in following house schedules and plans

About: Throughout my life I’ve been caring for animals in one way or another. I have a lot of experience in senior dog/cat/horse care. I’ve trained two puppies. I currently work part time midday on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. I am available pretty much any other time. My schedule is pretty flexible and I can move stuff around easily. I currently have one dog and a fully fenced in yard if I am boarding. At your home I’ll follow your written directions regarding your pet.

“Kelly was fantastic to work with. I would most definitely work with her, and reccomend her in the future,”

About: I’ve always loved working with animals I think they bring so much joy into our lives. I personally own one dog of my own along side with 7 cats. I have a pretty good experience with this job I genuinely love seeing and working with all animals. And I love to help in anyway I can!! Well I’m currently doing an online college program so my schedule isn’t very limited and I actually have a lot of free range with my schedule. My cats are very independent so when they need love they express it to me and I give it to them. My dog is still in his puppy stage so I try to not give so much attention so he isn’t very dependent on it. But I just try to make sure there space is very well kept and cleaned and make sure each pet gets as much love as the others. Our animals only see us for there entire life time so making sure they are happy and safe is the main priority!!!

“Sarah was great with my Border Collie and Australian Shepherd. Very flexible with scheduling even right before Christmas. I Highly recommend Sarah!”

About: I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, horses, cows, chickens, and ducks from a very young age. For the last 13 years I have worked in the pet food industry developing a knowledge and passion for pet health, behavior and nutrition. My current work schedule is Tues-Sat, I am available for walks, potty breaks and feedings before or after my shifts. Sunday and Monday there is more flexibility in my schedule and I can do mid day drop ins or longer distance runs/walks with higher activity level pets. I would love to meet you and your pet to discuss any special needs or requirements for their care. I have a fenced yard and live in walking distance to a public park and school field that can be used before/after school hours. I prefer to work with your pet in the environment which they are most comfortable, your home. I am open to short stays at my home if that is what is best for your situation.

About: I have been pet sitting for two dogs for the past 10 years. One is a 100-lb. yellow lab and the other is a 30-lb. Shiba Inu. I have watched both of them when they were sick as well. I play with them and stay for a while petting and cuddling them. I have had small to medium-sized dogs, kittens up to adult cats, fish, birds, rats, hampsters, and snakes. I currently have two bearded dragons and I frequently watch one dog and 2 guinea pigs. I live in a mother-in-law apartment connected to my daughter's home and we have a fenced back yard and miles of walking trails. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly. My daughter has one dog who loves to be around other dogs. Since I have my own apartment connected to the house, any dog I board can mingle or not depending on his/her social needs. I am a nonsmoker and am available seven days a week. I am able to board up to 2 dogs. Thank you for your consideration! As I am semi-retired, pet care fits in anywhere needed into my daily and weekly schedule. The pets in my home are part of the family so their needs are always met. Since my kids are grown, I enjoy having pets around to keep me company. I am able to care for pets in my client's home or in my home. When caring for pets in my client's home, I let dogs out twice a day or walk twice a day, check water and food, clean up where needed, give medication if needed, groom if needed, and play for awhile so they have some human interaction. I am able to watch cats in my client's home but I can watch dogs in my home as well. I can watch reptiles in my client's home or in my home if client has a travel setup. For cats, I also clean out their litterbox. At my home, dogs are let out several times a day as I have fenced back yard. For dogs who need more exercise, I walk around the neighborhood. I can run for short distances with them and play fetch and tug-of-war in the backyard. I have 2 bearded dragons. For them, I make sure they have a salad daily and insects 2 to 3 times a week. My dragons go to the bathroom in the shower so they are put in the shower at least every other day. They get UVB light for half the day and I allow them to free roam in separate rooms the other half of the day. They also have a climbing wall up to the window so they can bask in the sun and they take turns riding in the car.

About: I have watched dogs and walked dogs for family friends since I was about 14-15 and have always taken great care of them, making sure they also get to play with me or interact with me before I leave the home. I do competitive horseback riding and have learned how to treat an animal right and take care of one through this. I have watched my grandma's older dog that needs medication 3-4 times a day and I have made sure she's gotten her meds on time every single time. It's the most important thing to me to make sure the animals are happy and content even when their owners aren't home. I work full time, my schedule is monday-friday 9am-6pm with a hour lunch. I am able to do drop ins or walks mid day on my lunch depending on the distance. Since I have experience with horses and farm dogs I feel that I’m great with control when walking, I also enjoy just hanging out with pets even if it’s while watching a movie

“Karen and Matt are great people. They watched Bruno while I was gone. They communicated well, informed, and updated me. They were kind, loving and gave lots of attention to my dog. I highly recommend them. Thank you!”

“I came home to a very happy and relaxed dog rather than a sick and clingy dog when left at a kennel. I received pics every day so I knew he was doing great. A great relief to me when I have to travel.”

“Gretchen was flexible and amazing to work with! She was more than willing to help out in our unique circumstances, and won the skittish pupper seal of approval!”

About: I have been around and caring for dogs for most of my life because either I or a family member has always had one. I also have hands-on experience caring for dogs through my work at the Humane Society, where I interact with dogs of different ages, personalities, energy levels, and behavior needs. I’m currently attending dog training school, which has helped me better understand dog behavior, body language, leash handling, basic commands, and positive training techniques. I currently focus on dog walking, drop-in visits, and doggy daycare. I enjoy making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and care they need while their owners are away. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, favorite things, fears, triggers, and what helps them feel comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages during their care. If you’re happy with my service, a written review is always greatly appreciated and helps future pet parents feel more comfortable booking with me. 🐾 I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and doggy daycare throughout the week. My availability may vary by day, but I do my best to accommodate different schedules and routines. Feel free to message me about the dates and times you need, and I’ll let you know what I have available. I live in an apartment, but I make sure dogs receive plenty of walks, exercise, potty breaks, and attention. I always follow the owner's instructions and take the time to learn each dog's routine and needs. I currently volunteer with the Humane Society and Resilient Hearts Animal Sanctuary, where I work with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My goal is to provide a safe, positive, and stress-free experience for every dog in my care. I am also pursuing a degree in psychology and will be starting the Karen Pryor Dog Trainer Foundations course. My long-term goal is to become a service dog trainer, so I'm passionate about continuing to learn and build experience working with dogs.

“Once again, Robin took great care of the pups on drop ins and they love her. She always goes above and beyond to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and safe….and spoiled of course.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud mom to one high energy dog and two quirky cats, so I understand how important it is to feel confident and be able to trust leaving your furry family in someone else's hands. I strive to be direct and frequent in my communication to ensure that you always feel in the loop and worry-free when you're away. Every pet is unique, and I treat them just like my own - with love, patience, and a consideration for their unique traits. Because I work limited hours from home, I’m able to pop in for visits that fit your pet’s routine, making sure they get the care, play, and companionship they need while you’re away. I am an independently insured pet sitter to help give you peace of mind! For now, I’m offering drop-in visits only, but I make every moment comforting and count so you come home to a happy, cared-for pet. I am always mindful about respecting your space, instructions, and other requests.
