About: Excel in animal care with over 15 years experience working with a variety of species from exotic fish, rodents, dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, wildlife and livestock. 3 years experience as a Vet Tech, 10 years as a ranch hand and 3 years as a wildlife rehabber. All while caring for my own personal pets like rabbits, fish, dogs, cats and horses. I am passionate about animals and strive to provide the upmost care. I am knowledgeable on pet products, medications, vaccines and can give nutritional advice. I also have an interest in training and behavior and am strong advocate for positive reinforcement training. During the week I can provide enrichment activities after 4PM but on the weekends I can do that more than once a day and also provide relaxation time. I live in a no pet household with a small unfenced yard but in a very animal friendly neighborhood next to dog parks and trails.
About: I am an energetic person who is looking to spend time with animals. I am reliable, careful, and understand the bond people have with their animals. I have had an anxious animal and know how to approach them. I have also had experience with training puppies and senior care. I am big on communication and taking the time to better the lives of animals. I am a teacher that has the summer off from school so I am looking to fill my days with pet care! I am very flexible with times, days, and amount of visits. I ensure that your pet is being watched and has sufficient water and food. I will follow all directions and ensure that all safety features are in tact (gate closed, doors closed, nothing in reach for pet). I am respectful towards all household rules and want to be a reliable person to help ease owner anxiety.
“Conscientious, kind, and very caring! I really appreciated Jayme's help caring for my cat Benjamin!”

“Second time my kitty has stayed with Katherine and will most definitely be going back! She gives updates and sends pictures everyday. A wonderful sitter highly recommended!!!!”
“Would gladly use again. Went above and beyond by doing a couple things I forgot to do before I jeft.”
About: I have taken care of a lot of dogs and cats in my lifetime as well as reptiles like iguanas bearded dragons, and small animals like guinea pigs and hamsters. I have a lot of experience with a lot of different animals and I’ve always wanted to be a vet growing up, but I decided to go into nursing and this is my one way to be able to help others and take care of animals the best I can. I have a very flexible job Monday through Friday and I do not work on weekends so I’m available most nights and weekends. I do require some notice but I am very flexible with even like a day or two notice ahead of time. Depending on if I come to you or you utilize my home, I have lots of toys I have crates for the animals. I have a backyard for the animals to run free and I have no problem doing the messy work and cleaning up poop when they need to go They will have lots of love and if you are OK with it, I also have older children that love animals just as much as I do so that means extra love to your fur babies
“Joshua was great with our cats while we were away. He made sure that our one kitty got her medicine and gave updates every day! We are very satisfied and will definitely book with him again in the futute.”
“Our dogs did great with Milan for a weekend dog sitting! Milan was consistently on time and did great with keeping our dogs fed and taking them on walks. We really appreciate how well Milan communicated and shared pictures! That really gave us peace of mind while we took a weekend away. Our pups immediately were at ease with him when we first did our meet and greet, and were excited to see Milan each visit - even though they usually take a few minutes to warm up to strangers. He gave them plenty of scratches and loving when he dropped by and they were very relaxed and happy when we got back. Having Milan look after our pups while we took a weekend away was great for us, and we would definitely book him again, and would recommend him to anyone else!”
“Lori did a great job taking care of our cat! She did everything I asked and more. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”

The care and safety of your pets is top priority- and I take a family member’s safety and care very seriously. Like my own pets.
“Paige was an outstanding sitter for Princess, and a very separation anxiety, Panache. She made sure that his food was upstairs under my bed, so that he could access it. It does take her awhile to answer texts from me, but her care of my pets and home was excellent.”
“Ashley G. was cooperative and helpful about her appointment with Vincent, despite the fact that it was Thanksgiving day. I will certainly schedule her again and hope that she and my dog will become best buds!”

About: I am experienced with many types of animals. Birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, invertebrates and cats are what I know best. I am also available for some farm work depending on the species (mainly able to work with poultry, but will consider other farm animals). I work 3rd shift, so I am available early mornings during the week and available Friday-Sunday at necessary hours. My life revolves around animal care as I have many pets of my own, including cats, tortoises, chickens, turkeys, quail, peafowl, guinea fowl, mourning geckos, dart frogs, isopods, millipedes and cockroaches. For in home services I will follow any instructions on your pets care to help keep them on schedule so that they experience the least stress possible. I am very attentive and recognize signs of distress or illness in many species, so I can be on top of your pets health all the time.

Kaylee A.
“Kaylee always goes above and beyond for pets. She not only takes amazing care of her wonderful cats, she even takes care of those in need. She recently took in six young kittens that needed to be bottle-fed. Even while working a full-time job, she always makes sure to have time for them and ensure they are happy and healthy. No amount of detail is too small for her, she will ensure the pet will get the exact care they need.”
