About: My name is Charity and I am a reliable and responsible dog sitter and walker. I absolutely love all animals, ESPECIALLY dogs and I tend to get along with them very well.

“We had never used Rover before and were very nervous about having someone stay in our home with our puppies. Kristen was great. This was a last minute trip and she worked with our schedule to do a quick meet and greet to help us fee better about the entire process. Our dogs loved their time with her, and we never felt like we had to worry while she was staying at our home. We will definitely use Kristen again when we have to leave town.”

About: With a lifelong passion for dogs, I bring a wealth of experience to my dog sitting services. Growing up with dogs, I've developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. Now, as a proud dog mom of three fur babies and the owner of a small business tailored just to pups, you can rest assured that your babies will be cared for in a loving and fun environment. 🫶🏼🫶🏼 As a full-time worker with flexible hours, I seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine through thoughtful planning and prioritization. Here is what a day in our household looks like with my 3 pups to give you an idea: **Morning Ritual**: Each morning, I dedicate the first 30 minutes to an hour to my pups. This includes a refreshing walk or playtime, allowing them to stretch their legs and get some exercise while I enjoy the fresh air and bond with them. **Flexible Breaks**: With my flexible work schedule, I can take advantage of breaks throughout the day. During these breaks, I make it a point to check in on my pups, giving them attention, a quick play session, or just some affectionate cuddles. **Midday Engagement**: When my work allows, I set aside time around lunchtime to either take my dogs out for another short walk or engage them in interactive play. This keeps them stimulated and helps break up their day. **Evening Quality Time**: After work, I prioritize quality time with my pups. Whether it’s a longer walk, a visit to the dog park, or training sessions, I make sure they get ample exercise and mental stimulation, reinforcing our bond. **Weekend Adventures**: On weekends, I plan longer outings or fun activities, such as hiking, going to the lake, adventures to the ballpark or visiting pet-friendly places. This not only provides them with physical exercise but also allows us to work on social interaction while exploring and enjoying our time together. By incorporating these strategies, I ensure that my pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for, all while successfully balancing my work commitments. Now, this is merely just an example of my every day with my own boys, When imagining what you may or may not need when it comes to caring for your pet, customizing yours and your pet’s needs is always essential. Caring for someone else's pet in their home requires attention to detail, respect for their routines, and a genuine love for animals. Here is what that looks like when tending to your pet and their needs: 1. **Understanding the Pet’s Needs**: Before starting, I have a detailed conversation with the pet owner to learn about the pet’s daily routine, dietary needs, exercise requirements, and any specific behaviors or quirks. 2. **Following Instructions**: Adhering strictly to the care instructions provided by the pet owner. This includes feeding schedules, medication administration, and any special care instructions. 3. **Creating a Comfortable Environment**: When possible, I like to do a meet & greet with the pup(s) and their owners to ensure they are comfortable come time for me to start caring for them. Maintaining the pet's usual environment as much as possible. Keeping their sleeping area, toys, and feeding spots in the same locations to minimize stress. 4. **Establishing a Routine**: Sticking to the pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. Consistency helps the pet feel secure and comfortable while their owner is away. 5. **Providing Plenty of Attention**: Spending quality time with the pet to ensure they feel loved and cared for while their owner is away. Engaging in play, training, or simply cuddling to keep them happy. Of course happy to incorporate things you as a pet owner may request as needed. 6. **Staying Active**: Ensuring the pet gets enough physical activity according to their needs. Taking them for walks, playing fetch, or engaging in other activities they enjoy. 7. **Maintaining Cleanliness**: Keeping the pet's living area clean. This includes regularly changing their water, cleaning up after them, and maintaining their litter box if applicable. 8. **Monitoring Health and Behavior**: Keeping an eye on the pet's health and behavior. Such as changes in appetite, appearance, mannerisms or energy levels, notifying the owner immediately. 9. **Emergency Contacts**: I make sure to have a list of emergency contacts, including the owner's vet and an alternate emergency contact. Knowing what to do in case of an emergency. 10. **Providing Updates**: Regularly updating the pet owner on how their pet is doing. Sending photos or messages to reassure them and keep them connected to their furry baby. These guidelines I have can ensure you that your pet will receive the best care possible while you’re away. Fostering trust and peace of mind for both you and your pet. 😇🫶🏼

About: I live in Bent Tree, have a flexible schedule, lots of experience with house sitting and pet sitting, and will always prioritize communication. I’m willing to take overnight pet sitting opportunities that are further than what my radius is! I have pet sat many animals with individual needs/preferences, including but not limited to administering medicine, and am willing to go above and beyond to fulfill the needs of your animals! I am a college student, but do my schooling online so I have plenty of time on my hands. I love spending time with animals and being a pet sitter for the past 3 years has been a dream job for me! Many of my clients from my own business have me stay overnight or for all day pet care in their home. I always respect the space in my clients home and make sure to update them frequently on their pets. I cannot sit pets in my home as I have territorial animals, but I’ve noted pets love the comfort of their own environment :)

“Bella watched my 10 week old puppy all day this week and did an amazing job!!! My puppy adores her, and I was sent updates and pictures throughout the day. Bella is polite, professional and has a gentle energy that animals love, I would highly recommend her for your pets!!! Will be hiring again :)”

About: I got my dog when I was 13 (I’m now 21). During this time, I’ve been the sole caretaker of my dog. I trained him by myself when he was a puppy, and everyone he meets says he’s very well behaved. I know how to spot signs of anxiety or distress in dogs and how to respond to that behavior. I’m patient and loving, but I can be stern when need be. I am a student in college with class on Mondays and Wednesdays. Other than the time I spend on schoolwork, my schedule is basically free! I’ll make sure to locate the resources needed to care for your dog (crate, locks, toys, food, leash, harness, etc) as soon as I get to your home. I’ll spend 100% of my time in the company of your dog- they wouldn’t leave my sight. I’ll make sure to follow any guidelines about what your dog should/should not do. I’ll do my best to make the experience as comfortable as possible for them and you!
