About: My love for dogs started at a young age then at the age of 10 we got out first family dog, Rufus, after that I was really hooked. Then I got my own dog Dixie when I turned 19 then I got Summit. If you ask anyone they are some of the most spoiled dogs you will find and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am currently a stay at home mom so I will have plenty of time to care for your pup(s). They will get walks everyday and playtime outside I have a decent sized fenced in yard that your pup will get to play in, and weather depending a daily walk. They will also have their own space to go into when they need to relax and sleep.

About: Hi, I’m Trish! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover and have an elderly dog and two cats of my own. My home is calm, comfortable, and pet-friendly, with a big fenced-in yard where your furry friend can safely play and get some fresh air. I don’t have young children, so pets can enjoy a peaceful environment with plenty of attention and one-on-one care. I also prefer not to crate animals unless it’s absolutely necessary, because I want them to feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home while they’re in my care. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of the family and make sure they get lots of love, attention, playtime, and care. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to help them feel as comfortable as possible. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and give you peace of mind while you’re away! ❤️🐶🐱 I am currently working 2 days a week for now, therefore I have plenty of time to be with ur fur baby and give it all the attention, love and care it deserves I’m a true animal lover and a proud pet parent myself! 🐾❤️ I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us, which is why I treat every pet in my care like one of my own. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in the comfort of their own home, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and learning their routines, favorite toys, treats, and all the little things that make them feel at home. In my home, your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, fresh food and water, and regular potty breaks. When I care for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their normal routine consistent while giving them lots of companionship and attention. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’ll keep you updated with messages and adorable photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets aren’t just a job to me—they’re family, and I’ll make sure they feel loved and cared for every step of the way! 🐶🐱💕

About: I also have a kitty, far away in Holt, named Stella. I've had cats my whole life; fixed, unfixed, inbred, well cared for, neglected; I've seen it all. I'm now devoted to befriending every cat, one patient interaction at a time. I have no judgement towards any situation, and only care about giving your cat the best care I can.

“Kumar was absolutely wonderful with my two cats! I was especially nervous about leaving because one of them, Relic, is a formerly feral girl who’s very shy with new people. (Beezle, my other cat, is a social butterfly—toss him a treat and he’s instantly your best friend.) But Kumar handled Relic’s quirks with so much patience and care. He came by twice a day, sent me photos and videos every visit, and never hesitated to check in if he had questions. His communication was fantastic, and he totally put my mind at ease. If I need a sitter again, I’ll be crossing my fingers that Kumar’s available—he did an amazing job, and I’m so grateful!”

“Lucie took great care of our pug Lucy. She kept us updated through out the day with messages and pictures. I felt really good about leaving our pug with Lucie because she is clearly an animal lover. She responded quickly to all of our messages and our pug was in good shape when we went to pick her up. I definitely recommend Lucie for pet care. She's great!”

About: My family and friends trust me to watch their animals for extended periods of time. I have experience in dog and cat sitting, as well as administering oral medications. I've been around dogs and cats my entire life. I'm somewhat of a cat doula, after witnessing and aiding the birth of several litters. I love to take walks and be outdoors. Available every day! Summer allows flexible scheduling. Based on reserve rd, I can travel up to 10 minutes on a 4 wheeler to your place. I keep homes tidy and tread only where allowed. I'm willing to do small chores and adhere to any rules or rituals your pet is accustomed to. I'm a "pet first" kind of sitter, I won't provoke your little friend. I take time to establish trust and give them space.

About: I have always had a love for animals and have three pups of my own. I am a stay at home mom and watch everyone’s dogs (and kids). We love going for walks and running around in the backyard! I am a stay at home mom so taking care of dogs would be my only job other than being a mom to my two children. We go for two walks a day and spend lots of time outside! In my home we have a fully fenced in yard for lots of running around and play time. When we are inside we have a doggie gate so that no dogs are running over the baby.
