About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, I love animals so much. I love playing with them and taking care of them. I love taking them to the dog park to run around and have fun. Right now, I am currently not working. I am waiting to get my manicurist license so I am looking for a job I would love in the meantime. I can take care of the pet in the owners home or in my house I have a Fence in the backyard and I have a Labrador retriever that is super friendly and playful.
About: I have always had a love for animals! I have read many books and articles on pets. I love to make home made treat, each pet is different and even some treat can improved your pets upset belly. For example: frozen yogurt and blueberries are great snacks for pets. So is pumpkin purée, it can help with diarrhea. But all treat given will always be presented to the parents prior, to make sure you approve ☺️ I have always trained my pets as well just the basics like potty training, paw, and sit. All pet have specific needs that I am willing to accommodate. I currently work part time and have some free time throughout the week. What better way to spend my time than doing something I love! I have trained and interacted with many dogs. Rest assured that your pet will be safe and constantly monitored to make sure they are safe, well fed and have there special needs met such as giving pets there medication in a timely manner.
“It was lovely to meet Janelle. She was right on time for our meet and greet, stayed long enough to get all important information, asked good questions and was gentle and kind with my senior dog. I am sorry we were not able to work together this time but I do think Janelle would be a good sitter for someone else.”
About: I’ve worked in the animal field for 7 years and have been licensed for 2 years. I am comfortable taking care of animals that need medications administered. I am currently employed full time and I am open to using my days off to provide services like dog/cat sitting and dog walking to name a few. I live in a house where there is 6 foot walls around the perimeter of the property. There is also solid gates which can prevent animals escaping.
About: What sets me apart is how much I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m super patient, reliable, and love giving pets all the attention they deserve. While I don’t have a ton of experience with puppies, I’m always happy to learn and follow any specific routines or training methods you’re using. I’m especially great with mellow or older pets who just want a buddy to hang with and keep them company. Pet care fits really well into my routine right now! I’m currently working part-time, so I have a good amount of flexibility during the day—especially between 10am and 3pm. That gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, or just spending quality time with pets while their owners are out. I love having animals as part of my day—it definitely makes things better! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to stick to their usual routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of play or cuddle time (depending on what they like), and of course, go for potty breaks or walks as needed. I also keep their space clean and always leave things the way I found them—or better! If I were to care for pets in my own home, I’d create a calm, cozy space where they can relax and feel at home. I’d follow any specific instructions the owner gives to make sure everything feels familiar for the pet.

“Mayra was great! She met with me before the engagement to meet my dogs and make sure she knew what they needed, and communicated after each walk.
