Personalized care for your dog or cat - Castalia

About: I have a dog of my own now and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet! I stay active and go on daily walks (sometimes twice a day), so your dog will get plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I also have two cats, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats and their different needs. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet like my own—whether that’s going for walks, playtime, or just giving them love and attention while you’re away. I have a full time job that is very flexible. I go on walks in the middle of the day lots of times, and am also free some mornings and evenings. I care for pets based on each owner’s preferences and routines to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I’m experienced with leash walks, playtime, and outings like the dog park if approved. Safety is always my priority, and I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, energy level, and needs. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a fur baby of my own that is glad to keep yours company if needed as well!

About: I’ve taken care of my own cats with medicine, playing with toys, and finicky attitudes while also watching friends and families cats in their own homes.

About: I have taken care of animals from a very young age. But the past 15 I have watched my adult children's dogs many times at my home. I have had several senior dogs and dogs on medications. Our current dog, Riley loves all dogs and is very playful I work part-time from home and am able to take multiple breaks for outside time and walks throughout the day. During nice weather I am outside in the yard gardening frequently. We have a large fenced yard and a fun loving pup, Riley who really would love a playmate. We also have a doggy door in the outside porch. The door to the upstairs is kept closed unless we are up there to prevent accidents.

“Our boxer had a great stay with Justine. When we picked her up from daycare she was happy, but quickly fell asleep in our truck from all the fun activity she had with Justine's dog. A nice experience. 😀”

“Jenn was so good to my puppy! Sadie came home exhausted from a fun day on the farm. She was also able to accommodate us on short notice which was amazing.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life and have raised puppies and kittens. Growing up I also cared for elderly dogs. Keeping animals active and making sure their needs are being met is something I enjoy. When pet sitting I like running and playing fetch with pets or even just sitting and petting them if that’s what they prefer. I have volunteered with humane societies to walk dogs and play with cats. For 2 years I was a veterinary technician at an animal hospital in florida and worked with animals everyday. I am able to give prescribed medications or injections if needed. I have availability on nights and weekends as well as on my days off. I am flexible about traveling and am willing to travel about 30 minutes for pet sitting. Just contact me with any questions about schedule availability. Very flexible on nights and weekends. Work a swing shift at work so some weeks my availability is different. When caring for pets in my clients home I am always careful to make sure the pet is as comfortable with me as possible. I respect that the home is their space and make sure to let the pet make the first move when meeting for the first time.

About: I have been watching dogs for over ten years for family, friends, and neighbors. I have also owned dogs my whole life. With a friendly pup of my own, we are always looking for new friends and ways to socialize. Your dog will be in great paws here! I have Tuesday’s off during the week and am available most weekends for a lunch time walk or a weekend get away for mom and dad. My pup is very social and loves making new friends. He is growing fast, so I have multiple kennel sizes if needed. I do live in an apartment, but in a very pet friendly area with lots of open space to walk around without having to worry about traffic.

About: I have been pet-sitting for a little over 2 years. I check water, food, and keep company to cats and dogs. I also have experience watching/walking puppies as young as 6 weeks. I am currently in school and have a part-time job. I am available for walking, house-sitting and drop-in visits every week day and most weekends! I will go to extreme measures to ensure your animal is safe and happy with me whatever the task. I have experience adapting to many different needs.

About: I have taken care of friends dogs while on vacation both walking, crating and feeding various sizes and breeds in their own homes and yards while keeping routine to keep them comfortable. Currently in between a study abroad and returning to college and looking to fit in caring for animals around my delivery schedules, very open schedule to fit in routine visits and animal care. I will take your suggestions and advice in order to keep your pets comfortable and happy in their own homes during my visits while offering them care and attention.
