About: I have been watching pets for friends and family for about eight years, I’ve worked with Pomeranians to mastiffs! My mom used to be a canine trainer for law enforcement, so I do have some experience with k9s with special training. I have two crazy little brothers that are pitbull Rottweiler boxer mixes, Theo & Hank who have given me so much more experience. I hope to meet your puppies soon! Cant wait to play with them!! I’m currently working part time and have an extremely flexible schedule so I’m available at almost all times! I’m always willing to drive and also available for emergencies! I love to play and run with dogs just as much as they do! I have strength so I can also restrain and crate dogs of almost all sizes!

About: I have over 30 years of dog experience. I have trained puppies and love my pups to old age. I understand all dogs have different needs. im currently working from my home. With my flexibility I would love to help with your pups. I'm available daily for walks and play dates. I have a small fenced in yard and two friendly pups to keep your fur baby company. I can also create your pup if needed.

“Scharol kept our Shadow, short notice, over the weekend so we could get to a hockey tournament. She did great! Kept us updated on how Shadow was adjusting the entire time. Shadow came back home tired and happy!”

“Megan was great! She worked with me to make sure my cats were well cared for while I was away. I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks for all you did!”

“Even just through drop-ins, Sequoia has been an amazing sitter for my senior cat. Not only did she provide above-expectation care, she also took the time to ensure his safety during this disastrous winter storm. Will definitely be recommending her to others and scheduling again in the future!”

“Elizabeth was excellent to work with coordinating our dog sitting appointment. I dropped my 3.5 year old Great Dane off around 10:00 AM and picked her up at 5:45 PM. Elizabeth sent me text and pictures throughout the day and her two dogs played and played with my big girl. They had mini pool time and inside pet relax time. My baby was exhausted when I picked her up. I can’t recommend Elizabeth enough!”

“Scharol was very willing to work with our schedule. My 2 fur babies seemed well taken care of when we picked them up. We are were from out of town and needed someone to watch our dogs while going to Mackinac island. All went well.”

About: My love for animals is what made me want to watch pets. I have had pets my entire life & have been watching them for friends for years. I lost my dog Olive a year ago & this gives me my “ dog fix “. I am retired & have always wanted to be a dog sitter. I hope you will consider me. I work during the winter 4 days a week, but this has not been a problem for the animals I take care of now. I am very flexible. My yard is very large but not fenced in. I do have neighbors with dogs but they stay in their yards. I am also open to staying at your home.

About: Hell my name is Scharol. I love animals all kinds. First they need good steady meals then the fun begins! They're like children health safety then fun and love. I think of pets as toddlers. If they arent played with and getting attention theyll get into trouble. They need regular exercise good wholesome food, snacks when they're behaving. At times just because;) they crave love and affection. I allow them on my furniture and my bed. I just wash my bedding more often than most. They get scared have legit feelings and I address all of those needs. I first very responsible and very caring. I'll love them as if they were my own. Thank you for your time Scharol- I'm available all the time Great! I'm free almost 100% of the time which makes me a perfect fit to care for your prescious pets I've been around animals my entire life Walk them play with them cuddle them. Comb or brush them. They're fed all the time and depending on what they need I'll provide it.

About: I've grown up with dogs, cats, and various other animals in my family so I have lots of experience in caring for them. A family friend has told me I'm like a dog whisperer because most dogs are comfortable with me. I'm most comfortable with no more than 4 dogs at a time, whether they're small like a Dachshund or a Cardigan Welsh Corgi, medium-sized like a Brittany Spaniel or a Labrador, or large like a Newfoundland or Great Dane. I also am able to train dogs in simple commands such as stay, sit, lay down, and shake. And I'm willing to help potty train puppies and bathe dogs if needed. I do have experience with elderly dogs or sick dogs with many health conditions and medications. Either myself or my spouse is nearly always at home. I work a flexible job where I can stop at home during the day if needed. I currently have my own dog and cat. I am working on getting a fence but currently just a tie-out lead and a large dog house is what I have with lots of land to run.
