About: Being raised on a dairy farm I’ve been around all sorts of animals, big and small. From kittens, chickens, calves, dogs to full size cows I have done it all. I’m a proud owner of two pure bred English Mastiffs, we just whelped our first ever litter of pups! I’m looking to fill spare time in my day doing what I love most! I have always had so much love for all animals. Let me help you by loving your fur babies while you are busy! I’m available almost all the time. Currently I’m a stay at home mom caring for my 3 year old and 2 gentle giants. Weekdays, weekends, nights or mornings, I can be there for you! I have a very large yard(field) and two gentle giants to keep your babies content and happy. Look forward to a clean, exercised and fed pup when you get home! I have a giant crate also if needed.

About: I have had animals in my family since I was 10 years old and have taken great pride in their care. Any animal I have watched is treated as my own. I’m currently working part time 5 days a week so most days I will have plenty of time to play with and walk your pet(s). Animals safety is my #1 priority. I never leave anything out that could cause harm to my dog nor do I feed/ do anything that could cause it.

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.

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: Hi! I'm Ashley, and I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals. I previously owned and operated Happy Tales Pet Care, a professional pet sitting and dog walking business serving families in the area. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine, and I take pride in providing dependable, compassionate care that gives pet owners peace of mind. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, as well as cats, rabbits, and even a house pig! Whether your pet needs a walk or a drop-in visit while you're away, I will treat them like one of my own. I understand that every pet is unique, which is why I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away so you can relax knowing they are in good hands. Although I no longer run my pet sitting business full-time, I'm excited to offer pet care services again this summer and reconnect with the community I previously served. I offer complimentary meet-and-greets for new clients and look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent drop-in visits and dog walks. I’m able to follow your pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care needs like oral medication. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care every visit. I provide care in the client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their normal routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and oral medications or special diets when needed. I focus on keeping pets calm, safe, and well cared for, while respecting the home and maintaining a clean environment during each visit.

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.
