About: Hello, beautiful soul! I'm Novalee (Legal Name, Brooke) A little about me: 🦎My first pet was an iguana! 🐶🐈‍⬛️🦎I love 4 dogs, 4 cats, and 3 exotics 👩‍💼Stay at home business owner ⛑️ I help my best friend rescue Bernese Mountain Dogs 🐕🚶‍♀️I was a dog walker for 3 years while I was in college My services: * First, I must address that my home is a fixer upper. That means at times, my husband will be working on our house renovations for a couple hours in the evenings. We renovating slowly and will keep boarding dogs in mind when doing so. There will be times where drywall is being replaced, new flooring is being laid, and renovations will result in a louder home environment. We work as fast as our budget allows so it's not a daily occurrence. If you have any questions or concerns, I'll be happy to address them during out meet and greet. *We our whole backyard fenced in with a doggy pool, toys and a cement pad to sunbathe on. *Our village is walkable so short walks are available if requested. *Non-reactive dogs can be bathed for an additional service fee. (All dogs will be spot cleaned if muddy conditions cause dirty paws and bellies.) *Dogs must be friendly with other dogs and cats. Some growling and barking is normal during the first couple stays but if either of our pets just don't seem to mesh well, I will suggest alternative care for the safety of our pets. *Unaltered males and females are allowed. If females are in heat, please provide a diaper with pads as well. *Your pets are at home with us which means, they're welcome on our furniture. I woke from home and have open availability and can spend all day and night with your pups. Send me a booking request to schedule a meet and greet. *I can kennel for the safety of your pets if needed during times I'm away from home on short trips. *I can carry over rules you have in place at your home to mine. Examples: Sleeping in kennel, not jumping on furniture, etc. *I'm vet trained in administering oral, topical, and vaccinations when needed. Example: Diabetic Insulin Shots. *If your pet has storm anxiety, we will camp out in the bathroom with soothing music until the storm passes. *I will not leave dogs unsupervised while playing outside, or with other pets.

About: From since before I can remember, I've always loved animals. As a kid I wanted to a dog in the worst way but we never had the room. When I was 10, our first family dog showed up under the Christmas tree and I was hooked. There have been few times in my life where I haven't had a dog to take care of. I've worked in a vet office, an animal rescue, and have helped take care of dogs for friends and family when they go out of town. I currently work part-time so I have the flexibility to provide your furbaby with the best care. Daily walks and play time are already built into our daily routine and your pup can join in on the fun! I have a very large fenced in yard and live on a dead end road so traffic is minimal around our home. Our two dogs are very friendly and love to have visits from other dog friends. Our home is large enough that a separate space can be created for your pup if they feel overwhelmed or just need some quiet time. A crate can also be utilized if needed.

About: Over 10+ years of experience which includes feeding, grooming, and preserving an accessible residing space for pets. Also, providing health care, and creating a safe and relaxing environment. I’m currently available to work full-time. I will have to come to your house to take care of your pet. I’m available anytime Monday through Friday. I currently cannot have pets at my home. I will come to my client’s home and take care of their pet(s). I will always take protective measures when entering and leaving the home to ensure the safety of the home and the pet.

About: I’ve spent the past eight years caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments from energetic puppies to large, strong dogs and older pets needing a gentler pace and I’m completely comfortable adapting to each one’s needs. Over time, I’ve learned how important consistency, patience, and understanding behavior are, whether that means handling high-energy walks, reinforcing routines, or helping a nervous dog feel at ease. What sets me apart is that I don’t just walk or check in and leave—I take the time to build trust, give them attention, and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Pet care and pet sitting fit seamlessly into my schedule, allowing me to be flexible and dependable for both regular visits and last-minute needs. With more availability during the current season and upcoming summer, I’m able to offer consistent care, longer visits, and more time for walks, play, and attention. This flexibility benefits clients by ensuring their pets maintain a stable routine, get extra exercise, and receive reliable, attentive care while they’re away, especially during busy travel months. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I always prioritize safety, follow your instructions closely, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and doing well. I’m respectful of your space, dependable, and treat your home and pets with the same care I give my own. When pet sitting, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep things stress-free. This typically includes feeding on schedule, fresh water, walks or litter box care, playtime or companionship, and any medications if needed. I also do quick check-ins around the home (like making sure everything is secure) and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to keep everything as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away.

About: My years of experience is for professional experience. Years personal experience is well over 20. I’ve had pets all my life growing up from exotics to cats and dogs. Professionally I’ve been a pet groomer (can do small animals, dogs and cats) and a shift manager at a pet store where I was a pet specialist, dog groomer, and pet nutritionalist. I have experience with fish, dogs, cats, pocket pets (hamsters, rats, mice, Guinea pigs, rabbits ect.), reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, arachnids. I have certifications in pet grooming, animal body language, and pet care. Formerly a fear certified pet groomer (not activity grooming anymore but I plan to get that back). Feel free to message me with any questions or concerns you may have. I’m going to school full time all online so when pet sitting I am able to take my course work with me while I take care of your pets. I will follow all instructions, I have slip leads that I will use over the collars so that way if anything happens during walks outside there’ll be extra protection. I will pick up after your dog. Make sure water is available 24/7 and make sure feeding schedules are on time. I can also take care of exotic pets, fish, and I have an amazing green thumb! So even your plants will get the best care.

About: I have been taking care of animals most of my life. I started dog sitting/walking when I was 14. Many people have relied on me to care for their animals. I am gentle and loving, but I am strong enough to not allow dogs to drag me down the road. I am currently unemployed, and I am not starting school until the fall. This has given me a lot of free time, so I thought this would be a fun way to get some exercise and make some money on the side. As well as dog-sitting, I started babysitting at 14. I learned a lot of patience because of that. So when I care for my dog, or others, I treat that animal with as much patience and love as I would a child.

About: I am a sitter and walker who is very patient with all dogs, especially energetic ones. I love all animals, and because I am an athlete, I have lots of energy, so if your dog wants to run while we walk and play, I happily will! If they do not, I am always calm as well and will be patient with your dog. I walk my dog Charlie every day, and I also walk my sister's dog, Finn. I am always happy to go outside and get some fresh air. I play with Charlie as much as I can until he’s tired (which is literally never), and I always make sure he’s got plenty of water.

About: While I am somewhat new to dog/cat sitting, I have grown up with 2 dogs and 3 cats in my household. I also recently adopted my own kitten who I take care of myself! I’m currently back from school for the summer so I am just looking for a part-time job until then. I have a lot of time on my hands, so I’m just looking for good opportunities. I often care for my pets by making sure they always have enough food and water and time of attention and exercise. If someone has specific needs or instructions, I’d follow as told.

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was a teenager, worked in a kennel during grad school, and have extensive personal experience with senior and geriatric dogs, including mobility issues, medication routines, monitoring comfort, and hospice-style care. Currently a cat owner and love them too. I work mostly from home, so I can schedule my days around other obligations. I'm happy to do visits either during the work day or in morning or evening hours. I'm happy caring for any type of pet, I have experience with special diets, meds, putting dogs in crates, cats in carriers, mobility devices , etc. I also love to interact, talk to, and play with dogs, cats, birds, anything.

About: I have had experience with doggos ever since I was a little kiddo. We had a Japanese Kai doggo up until recently and I have also had some part time jobs taking care of dogs for my friends and family. I will love your furry friend as my own! I am currently a full time college student in the school year and a part time college student in the summer. I work online and will have all the time in the world to play with your pets and take care of them! I live at a house with friendly neighbors but not a fenced in yard. We have trees on our property that shield the road from our house.

About: I would say what sets me apart is I’ve had special training incase of any type of emergency or mishap. I am a very forgiving person also. My schedule is fairy open so I have time to fit most a lot of things in. One of which is taking care of animals I most walk them at the park or play with animals in my house. My home can fit 1-2 dogs or 3 cats at a time

I do accept a month to two weeks in advance in order to work out a good schedule but I do take last minute bookings but schedule will be iffy only due to last minute. When I’m sitting i would love to do other things while I’m there to help out if needed, trash, recycling, plants need water I got it handled, any small task you can’t get to I will be more than willing to help! I’m currently working a full-time job about 35-40 hours a week. My schedule isn’t set fully yet but I get my schedule a week ahead and normally I’m always able to rearrange my schedule to work out for others I don’t have a fence up yard I’m currently trying to get one. But normally I always go outside and watch the dogs go to the bathroom normally I always put them on a leash so I know they won’t run away. I always feed the dogs morning, noon time and dinner time.

I do have spare dog toys, pads and crate from my dog that lives with my dad just incase I have a dog that I dog sit comes over so they have a place to sleep in my room.

About: I’ve grown up having 3 dogs my entire life, as well as cats. Since I was 16, I’ve been housesitting for my aunt for at least a week out of every year. Which requires taking care of 5 dogs, 3 cats, chickens, mice, sugar gliders, a parakeet, fish, and turtles. 2 of the dogs required medication multiple times a day so I have experience with that as well. I currently work every 3rd day, which leaves 5 days out of the week completely available to come by and walk your dog or stop in and feed animals. I have experience walking dogs on leashes as well as if I stop by and let them go potty I have no issue picking up after dogs as well. I will make sure they’re fed and safely put up if need be before leaving. I will also be sure to send plenty of pictures and updates!
