About: My whole life I've wanted to work with animals. Currently I’m a vet tech, I went to school for 2 years for it. I love all animals so dogs, cats, birds, pocket pets, and reptiles are all exceptional for me to take care of! I've owned dogs, reptiles, and right now have a cat and a dog of my own. Whether it's a check in on your pet while you're at work, or a walk at the park, I can help! Thank you for considering me. <3 Like stated before I a full time vet tech but I do have certain days of the week off to care for your pets! Take a peak at my calendar to see my availability. If you’re local to me some of my ‘unavailable days’ can still work if you are ok with late evening check ins. You can always reach out to me too if you need more details. I’ll do drop ins and check on your fur babies for as long as you need. If they need someone energy out, I can play with them, if they’re senior pets, I would love to just sit with them and help with any medical concerns needed. If it’s a walk we can go wherever they normally enjoy walking to.

About: I’ve always loved animals and treat every pet like family! I’m caring, patient, and attentive, and I love giving pets plenty of love, playtime, cuddles, and companionship. My goal is to make your fur baby feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐾💕 Hi! 🐾 I’m a stay-at-home mom with a very flexible schedule, so I’m home most of the time and available to give your pets plenty of love and attention. I’m dependable, caring, and would treat your fur babies like they’re my own. I’d love the opportunity to help with walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting! 💕 I have a nice-sized home and prefer pets who enjoy being indoors. Your pet will have their own comfortable space in my home, and you’re welcome to bring a crate or kennel if they’re more comfortable with their own setup. I can also provide their usual food if needed. I have two children, ages 2½ years and 7.5 pmonths. My older child is very mature and understands boundaries and directions. I’ll always gradually introduce her to your pet and only allow interaction if you’re comfortable with it. Otherwise, your pet can have plenty of quiet space downstairs with me. I also have safety gates on my stairs to help keep everyone safe and comfortable.

About: My name is pronounced like Taya. I have been providing pet care personally and professionally since I was in high school. When I started, I genuinely just loved being around animals and wanted a way make an income while doing something I enjoyed. Years later and I still hold the same sentiment. My family and I have always welcomed dogs and cats into our homes and cared for them as additional kids in the household. I took a break from pet care to focus on building myself and my goals, but now as a homeowner of three years, I want to extend my home and services again to your fur babies. I work full-time, 100% remotely from home for a law firm located in Pennsylvania. I am always at home, especially during the weekdays, with my six pets (two dogs and four cats). I have a flexible schedule and can arrange my work day accordingly. I am able to work with you and your pet's needs, so just communicate with me! I have a 0.3 acre fenced yard that my two dogs absolutely love to race around in. They get great exercise out there and are able to release their high energy. I am attuned to my animal's needs and provide a lot of supervision and care since I am usually at home. The same way that I would treat my own pets/home is exactly how I would treat and respect yours. I am reliable, punctual, and compassionate.

“What an amazing dog lover. She bonded immediately with our boys. She stayed a bit longer to just ensure the boys knew she meant business that they were her focus. Bravo Catelyn - you have two new best friends!”

About: I've been caring for animals since about 5 years old, my grandfather use to have a little piece of property over in Central Point, Oregon. Full of horses, chickens, barn cats and even a few stray dogs we had taken in. Caring for animals has easily become second nature for me, when any of my family travels I am always the first to offer my pet sitting services, I love caring for animals! Even now, I am fostering my younger sisters' German Shepherd while she is overseas. I know sometimes we need help with our animals, and I know how important is to have a truly trustworthy person to help care for those very loved furrends too & that is why I want to offer my help to anyone in the community Pet care is something I do every day in my routine, I personally have dogs, cats, hens and ducks plus a few fish in my home. I have always been used to having a big furr family growing up, so the animal care was just instilled from the beginning. My animal at home currently have a fence. As far as if it is at the clients home, then I'm just aware of the roads around, if any are busy,just making sure my leash was secure before leaving the house. ect. It is what I schedule my week around, I like to make sure the clients have the schedule they need for the animal, and then I work around that. Since relocating to Missouri, I am not able to do pet sitting in my home currently, so I will be only doing check ins at the client's home for now.
