About: I’ve grown up with cats and big dogs and I love all of them. I’ve been dog sitting for close family and friends for a long time now and I truly enjoy it! I’m a full time college student working a part time job, but I still have plenty of free time to care for your pets! I’m able to make time for the dogs I have watched before. When I care for a pet in a clients home, I usually follow instructions they leave to a T. I also pay attention to the animal and anything they might need! I’m a tidy person as well, and often leave homes better than I found them.
“Makayla stayed at our home & watched our three dogs for a weekend. We were so nervous but it went very smoothly! Makayla was easy to communicate with, sent us lots of pictures/messages with updates on our fur babies! We will definitely keep her in mind for next time😊”


About: I’ve worked in a veterinary clinic for 7 years and have lived with animals my entire life. I work with cats and small to medium dogs but I’m not opposed to bigger dogs. All ages are accepted. I have experience in grooming/bathing, administering oral and injection medications, and wound care/bandaging. I have a part-time job but I make sure your pets take priority. I’m currently working part time and taking online college classes, however my schedule is always flexible for your pets. I keep my calendar updated regularly for your convenience. While I have a concrete schedule for my animals, I am very flexible and will never do anything regarding your pets without asking you first. I will ask you questions before starting services and will keep you updated throughout the entire process. While I am at your home, I am happy to take your pets on walks, pick up mail, water plants, and I will always pick up after myself. I will not go anywhere that is not permitted and will care for your pets like they are my own.
About: I love have had pets all my life. From living on a farm when I was younger with cows, dogs, cats, and chickens to now where I have 2 wonderful fur babies. I've been in healthcare for over 20yrs. I enjoy taking care of others, and giving piece of mind. I know how anxious I am when I can't be there for my doggies, so I wold definitely keep that in mind with your animals in my care. I work 3 days a week, so I have plenty of spare time to spend with your fur babies . I have a flexible schedule, but I know my schedule weeks in advance. I have lots of room in my home, and there is no place my dogs CANT go. They are allowed on the furniture, and so would your pets. If I am watching your pets in your home then I would treat your home as if it was my own.

About: I'll never work a day in my life while I'm pet sitting. As a certified pharmacy technician, I am confident I can apply or administer medicine to animals.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 5 and I’ve loved it ever since. I’ve had owned many dogs and cats. I’ve helped with pets of all ages, from tiny babies to sweet seniors. I’m going to school for animal behavior and care because animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I love making sure they’re happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Right now, I am going to school online for my bachelors while working! Pet care is the perfect way for me to stay busy doing something I love while also helping people out. It fits into my routine really well right now because I have the time and flexibility, and it gives me experience for my future career with animals. It’s a win-win, I get to be around pets and give them the love and care they deserve while I’m in this in-between stage. When I’m caring for pets in someone’s home, I treat it like my own, with a lot of respect and care. I always follow your instructions closely because every pet has their own routine and comfort zone. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s sticking to their feeding schedule, giving meds, or just keeping them company, I focus on creating a calm and happy environment. I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home, and I don’t take that lightly.
