Pet Sitting in York

About: I was raised on a diversified livestock farm and submerged in caring and tending to animals of all species. I have always had a true passion for animals. I have experience being a kennel/technician in a veterinary clinic. I have been exposed to a variety of breeds, of all shapes and sizes, all needing tended to in their own ways. Anything from giving lots of attention to needing to be administered a medication I have helped with it all. Originally from Missouri, I received my B.S. in Animal Sciences from Mizzou. After graduation, I moved to Nebraska to peruse a high degree and am currently wrapping up my M.S. in Ruminant Nutrition. I am new to the year, and moved here for a job post-graduation. If interested, I would love to do a meet-and-greet to meet you, your pet(s), and determine if it is a mutual best fit! I currently work full time; however, sometimes my weekdays have flexibility depending on my schedule. I live by a planner and am very organized, I have a high energy dog that does great with a routine needing lots of exercise. Typically, I try to do a combination of mental and physical stimulation/exhaustion through toys, walks, fetch, or making him focus on the tricks he knows/learning new ones. In my home, I try to best mimic their normal routine. I often take notes/ask questions prior on their typically routine, so I can try to match it. I usually prefer to do a meet-and-greet. I feel more comfortable meeting the dog in their own environment around their people rather than blinding doing a drop in a visit. I also treat all dogs more like “puppies” regardless of the age, especially in regard to the frequency of going outside. All pets have different cues, and before interacting with them I don’t want to set them up for failure/uncomfort. When at client’s homes, I try to spend as much time as I can with the pets in the home and typically block off/don’t add anymore plans to the allotted time. I know how much my pets mean to me, so I try to give them as much interaction I can. I usually always try to clean/tidy everything before leaving.

About: I have more than 10 years experience working with animals/ aside from my personal life which revolves around my (4) fur babies. I formerly worked as the primary animal caretaker for Aurora Adopt A Pet. I did that for almost 2 years, but I currently facilitate doggy daycare and help care for boarding dogs at Hairy Situations. I've been here almost 2 years now. For as long as i can remember, my life both inside and outside of work has revolved around animals. To say it's my passion is an understatement. Frequently outside, since I have a fenced in yard (8ft). Which also ensures your pet won't run away, or not get enough excerise. I treat every animal the way I would treat my own.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and I love taking care of them and making them happy! I’d be the happiest in a job I could be working with animals. That is definitely my goal in our life! I do work a full time and part time job but I would love nothing more than to spend my free time with animals of any kind :) I don’t board dogs or watch them in my home. I crate my dogs when I am not home, but they don’t need it either way. They honestly enjoy their crate, it’s their safe space

“So kind and patient especially with behaviorally challenged pets. My dog is not friendly to strangers and can be scary but Kayla took the time to let me dog feel comfortable and warm up to her and she was able to take care of my dog while I was away. Kept me updated and wasn’t afraid of my loud dog.”

About: I care deeply about dogs and their welfare, including love and exercise. My dog Mitzy also loves other dogs and is a gentle companion; she loves to play and make friends. I work from home, so I am available at all times. I will spend time with your pup, and my own dog is very loving. I have a fenced backyard and we have a huge neighborhood area exclusively to us homeowners the size of a football field. Also there are to parks within 5 minutes.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs, cats, small furry guys, reptiles and reactive dogs over the past five years. I love animals, whether they prefer to be pet or quiet company I am adaptable and will create a bond with your pet! I am very flexible! I take online college classes and have an open schedule. I would love to take your pet care needs on first hand!! I am detail oriented. I will take care of your house, feeding needs, affection, communication and more! Whatever your needs are we will find them and get them taken care of!

About: I care for each pet as a unique individual, taking time to get to know them. Your pet deserves the best care, tailored to them. I love to cuddle them, go on walks, runs, and hikes, sing to them, take them to the dog park, and play games with them. I currently work on projects as an entrepreneur, so I set my own schedule. Most of the work I do is remote. So I can be fully available for your pet to give them the care and attention they need and deserve. I care for the pet exactly as asked at the home of the client. I have a vehicle, and if needed I can transport them.

“Thank you, Rojin, for continuing to drop by to meet our new puppy and watch him grow! We appreciate your availability and look forward to the next house sitting.”
