About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. I am now a proud fur mom to 2 happy healthy dogs 🐶 I work a traditional full time 9 am to 5 pm job, however I am available on the weekends and early mornings/evenings during the week. I have two very energetic and friendly dogs who are both crate trained and up to date with their vet appointments and vaccinations. They have plenty of toys and are happy to share with your fur babies!
About: I'm an experienced veterinary nurse with over 30 years, taking care of all kinds of pets. I am currently a surgical nurse and I specialize in senior care, diabetics, post surgical care and medical boarding. When your pet needs extra special care, call me! I work full time Tues, Wed, Thurs, which leaves me free to pet sit Fri, Sat, Sun & Mon. Perfect for those long weekend plans! I have a large, safe, fenced in yard for your dog to play. I have four friendly dogs and a handful of house cats to keep your pet company.
About: ABOUT ME: Hi there, I'm Cassidy! I'm 29 years old, I work with computers, and I love animals :) MY PETS: I currently have four dogs and one cat of my own - two 14-year old Mini Australian Shepherd littermates, two 2-year old Border Collie littermates, and one mystery cat that literally wandered into my life on a random Tuesday afternoon. My dogs are all high energy, intelligent dogs that require daily exercise & entertainment. Our favorite activities to do together are going to the dog park to see our friends, going for walks, chasing squirrels and bunnies, barking at the mailman, and going for car rides. We even love going in our cages for (supervised) alone time with lick mats and chewable treats! My cat is a chill guy who doesn't have a mean bone in his body. His favorite activities are screaming for food and basking in the sun. He has quite the personality and has taught me so much about caring for cats! MY EXPERIENCE: I have about 6 years of dog mom experience and 1 year of cat mom experience under my belt. Most of my dog experience is with puppies and with small and medium dogs, but I do have some experience with large dogs. I have cared for senior dogs, dogs with special needs/dietary restrictions, dogs on medicine, injured dogs, and dogs who are toy or food possessive. I even have experience with table-jumpers and food-stealers! While I currently have 5 pets of my own, I have cared for up to 7 at once. I have family & friends who have trusted me to board their dogs in my home for a few days at a time. I would love to offer in-home boarding services, but unfortunately my pups are protective over their family and they do not like having "strangers" in their home. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT: I know how stressful it can be to leave your animals in a stranger's hands - a million questions will be running through your head. Will my pet like them? Will they take good care of my pet? Will they give my pet the right amount of food? Will they take my pet on a walk? Will they take my pet outside to go potty? Will they pat my pet 5 times on the head and give them 10 belly rubs at precisely 11:35am? Will they do that funny dance I taught them when it's dinner time? YES - I'll do it all! My goal is to do exactly what you need in the time I am caring for your animal. I care for all animals as if they were my own. I will strive to keep your pets safe & comfortable, meet their needs, train them if needed, spoil them (just a little bit!), and become someone they look forward to seeing! I work a full time job M-F from 7am-4pm and thus cannot offer care during these times. I am able to provide some care on weekday afternoons. I am able to provide more care on weekends. At this time I am not able to bring your pet into my home. However, when I am in your home, I will prioritize the safety and care of your pet. I will care for your animals and your home as if they were my own.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. The first dog I called mine was a miniature schnauzer named Poca. I got her when I was 5. I have had many dogs over the years, as well as cats, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, reptiles, and other types of pets. I have worked at animal shelters for months of my life. I would feed animals, give them water, take them outside, help administer medicine, watch them in the yards, and just generally love on them. I also have experience working with wild animals at zoos. I have open availability for pet care services, as my main source of income is gig economy work. I am flexible, so no matter what you need, I can likely make it work. I make sure your pets always have access to fresh water, and depending on how your pets are usually fed, I can feed them on a schedule or set up free-feeding. I will also make sure they get plenty of attention.
About: I have taken care of animals off and on for 20 years. I grew up around dogs and would help my parents take care of ours since I was three. I can feed, walk, water, brush, and I am experienced in clipping and grinding dogs nails. I have also watched many cats. I am able to clean litter boxes if needed. I am currently working full-time but am able to check on any animals during the week after 5 pm and before 7 am depending on how far away you are. I am also available to spend as much time as needed on the weekends. I am able to walk, check-up on, and feed your fur baby. I can also play with them. If needed I could take them to a dog park to burn off some energy. I am also equipped to take them to the vet if needed.
“We’ve loved having Saul take care of our shy cat! Saul responds to our messages promptly, leaves detailed descriptions of his visits, and takes care of any mess left behind by our cat. We appreciate the level of care that he provides!”
About: Hi there! My name is Sylvia, and I am a huge animal lover! I have taken care of and owned all sorts of dogs and cats. I have a one year old Mini Bernedoodle that we have raised from puppyhood and I have taken care of senior dogs. I am currently taking a break between jobs and have a lot of time to spend with your pup to make sure they have the best time! I have a yard my dog loves to run around in and play fetch. I need to crate her when we are not home as she has separation anxiety. She loves going to the dog park and making friends and gets all the other dogs tired as she loves to run and play. She is super friendly with other dogs, cats and does well with children.
About: I’ve pet sat for friends, family friends, and colleges for over 7 years! I have also repeatedly been asked to pet sit for the same families! I am very detail oriented and will bring so much love and care to your household while you are gone! Making sure your animals are kept safe, happy, and well taken care of is my mail goal! I have a light work schedule over the summer, I work 2-3 days a week during the morning into the afternoon! If you need me on those days no worries I will stop by before and after work if you need! I am very flexible and will attend to what you need! I prefer caring for pets in your home, my home is already at capacity with my 3 dogs! So keeping your animals at your house with me coming to visit is best case scenario!
