About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was a child. I’ve taken care of clients pet babies in their home. Feeding, cleaning cat litter, playing with them and administering medication. Making them feel loved while their parents are away. I also have had the opportunity to volunteer at a horse therapy program where I cleaned stables, fed the horses, washed them, brushed them and cleaned their hoofs. I also assisted the mentally and physically disabled individuals on the horses while they were doing their lessons. I am currently retired and have all the time in the world to care for your pet babies. I have a large home that would be comfy and cozy for them I have an adequate yard to take your pet Babies in. I have a bike trail to walk them in and an open area to play with them.
About: I put 30+ years of pet care experience on here but it’s really more like 45. I’ve been taking care of our family pets since I was 8 years old. I always took care of family and friend’s pets, stayed at their homes when they needed me to watch them or just played with their fur babies so they wouldn’t be alone during the day. I feel a very kindred connection towards dogs and cats (& other animals) and give them as much love and happiness as I can. I’m currently working part-time as a substitute teacher, so I have a lot of availability on the weekends and during the day, especially during the summer and spring break. Additionally, I create a schedule so I can work around yours and mine. I have a fenced in yard, but walk my dog daily on a leash when I take him out. He is showered in love and is very well behaved.
About: I've grown up around animals of all kinds and have also provided care for many of them along the way. I take pride in ensuring any animal in my care is safe, happy and healthy from the day they arrive to the day they leave! (We have a female dog who we'd love to let meet more friends, if possible!) I am currently working a "choose your own shift" schedule, so I can dedicate as little or as much time as possible, to your beloved animal(s)! Schedule open to discussion, dependent on the individuals wants and needs. I have a fenced in dog park and a few walking trails where I reside. I am happy to provide walks and playtime to those in my care!
About: I have had two Great Danes, an Anatolian Shepard mix, a great Pyrenees mix, and I currently own a pit bull. So truly no dog is too big or too small. Our furry friends are like our family and I would like to treat your like my own while you are away. I work from home so I am very flexible with my work schedule. I will work with you to make sure that your pet is getting the care they need throughout the day. I do have a fenced in yard but due to the breed of dog I personally own in home care in my own home will not be available. I am more than willing to travel to you and take care of your pets in your own home.

About: I have had dogs since I was 10 , and I've always had a passion for them. When I was younger, I would read books about every type of dog I could get my hands on.

19. Sandy L.
“Sandy is the best dog sitter/walker we have had! She is amazing with my 4yr old massive 115lb German Shepherd Bella. Bella is always happy to see Sandy coming. Sandy also watched my fur baby that is no longer with us Bob who was 14 when he passed and Sandy was the only one we would trust to make sure that our old fur baby was taken care of the way he needed before he passed earlier this year. When we leave the one thing we don't worry about is our dogs anymore now that we have Sandy taking care of it! Highly recommended!!!!”
