About: I've taken care of many types of animals from rodents to horses. I'm a professional dog trainer and care for even your most complex pets. Medical needs, behavior needs, and even special needs. Don't worry I can handle it! I have 4 animals myself so my entire life is already centered around the wellbeing of animals. Pet care is my passion from basic husbandry to working them through difficult emotions and giving them and their owners a better life. While your pet is staying in home with me they will be treated as one of my own. For safety your pet(s) and mine will stay separated. An evaluation can be made to see if our pets would be able to have play sessions. If not that's perfectly OK. They will have plenty of supervised and interactive play time, enrichment items such as snufflemats, toppls, and nose games. Any instructions given by you will be followed. My goal is to make your time away as relaxing, comforting, and smooth for both you and your furry family members as possible.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a little girl. I love all kinds of animals but especially dogs. I promise to do nothing but the best for your sweet baby. I work part-time at a doggie grooming salon and get to have more experience with animals every day. Animals are my passion and I plan to do this for the rest of my life. I have a small dog in my home with a small crate. At the clients home I would keep eyes on the baby at all times.

About: I grew up on a farm and learned early in life how to care for a lot of different animals. We had several dogs, cats, cattle, horses and pigs going up. Over the years, I have cared for family and friends pets as they travel or vacation. I love animals, especially dogs. I always thought I would have gone into Veterinary Medicine. So, for the past many years I have rescued and rehome many animals. Update: My rescue dogs all have passed and I truly miss Gizmo, Lucky and Sweetie Pie. All of them were such gifts while they were here. Gizmo was a Shih Tzu and will always be my baby. I rescued at 3 months old. I truly believe he was a miracle sent to me. I had him for 12 years and every day was a blessing. He got an autoimmune disease and passed in 2018. I never had children so my dogs are my fur babies. I rescued another dog, Lucky. He passed in 2015. I actually had to put him down due to cancer. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I rescued Lucky when he was abandoned and everyone had given up on him. He was a shih Tzu too. Unfortunately, he had some health issues and was very aggressive with food. It took me at least a year to work with him on his aggression when others probably would have given up. He was my special needs dog. That is experience in itself when you take care of that kind of dog. I had to learn a lot of patience. He survive 5 years of a life that he probably would not have had if I hadn't taken him. He developed cancer at 11 years old. We did surgery to remove the tumors but he just wasn't strong enough to get better. I then started volunteering, fostering and helping other dogs find loving homes again. I felt like I was healing one day at a time. That is where I met Sweetie Pie. She has the personality that makes you laugh, even some little quirks that remind me of Lucky. I was just going to foster her but Gizmo fell in love with her and they are best friends. As you can see, I have quite the experience as well as administering meds, bathing and lots and lots of tender loving care. Update: Sweetie passed this passed April 2022 with bone cancer. One day she was running on the farm playing, the next she could barely walk. She wasn't sick at all and the vet said that this type of Cancer develops and spreads quickly. I work with Rover previously in Tennessee and had to move back to Mississippi in April 2021 to my families farm. The great things now, I have alot of land and places to walk and for dogs to run. I currently have another business that is flexible. I am able to work in to my schedule. I am able to work around my schedule to provide a great service for clients. All dogs are different. I try to do the same as a client would do in their home. Some may crate their animal for potty training or sleeping at night. I can do that. I have dogs who have their on space and bed so they know where their safe space is located. I am good about potty breaks and outside play time. As for client home visits and walks, clients usually leave instructions for their dogs habits and needs.

About: I've had a passion for animals ever since I was a young child. There is nothing better than a furry furever friend! I’ve cared for many different types of animals throughout the years. I personally have 3 pomeranians of my own. They are not just pets, they are my babies! I would love the opportunity to get to know and care for your animals. I have a very flexible weekly schedule with weekend/ holiday availability. I will provide lots of potty breaks, playtime, petting, grooming, or whatever your heart desires for your fur baby! I have a fenced in back yard and 3 friendly pomeranians. I will also treat your home with respect and provide the best possible care for your pet(s) as if they are my own!

“My husband and myself have been unable to walk our dogs due to recent surgeries. Jonatan was great to come and help us walk our sweet dog for a week. I would use him again.”

About: Currently a college nursing student I have had cats, dogs (ranging 10-70lbs), and both small to large sized parrots. I absolutely adore my fur/feathered babies and want to combine that passion as an enjoyable part time job! See “what to expect” for more info on specific care for my personal pets ! I am currently a full time college student so during weekdays pet care would be 3pm forward (some weekdays may be 12pm due to earlier classes). Weekends I am 90% available for any time of day/night. For my dogs (yorkie/small terrier mix ~20lbs) I have a fenced yard and they receive prescription dog food 2x day, with usually morning car rides and daily play. For my cats they receive morning play and exercise wheel time and morning kibble. At night they receive wet canned food and use a water fountain. Once a week they will get a car ride and a walk on harness or in stroller weather permitting. I also have 2 small and 2 large parrots they have toys and get daily engagement with pets, music, toys, etc. I also have experience in care for ducks/geese. I do not have other farm animal experience but would be willing to do a feeding drop in according to owners wishes providing this is a rural area!!
