About: I actually have a lot of experience taking care of pets. When I was a child, I had three parrots and two dogs. I often spent time with my grandmother, who had three dogs, four cats, more than 30 rabbits and an aquarium with fish. When I was 15, I started taking care of the pets of friends who went on vacation. Now I am looking for new clients to take care of their pets, so that I can become their new friend. I am currently looking for a job so I have a lot of free time and the opportunity to take care of your pets. I can take care of your dog both on weekdays and on weekends or holidays. My home is not pet friendly so I will be happy to spend time with your pets in your home. I understand the importance of the safety of your pet and other people, so I prefer walks on a leash and with a muzzle if necessary. After the walk, I consider it necessary to wash your pet's paws to keep your home clean.

About: With 3 years of dedicated pet care experience, I provide top notch services for your beloved animals. From daily walks and playtime to overnight stays and medication administration, I ensure your pets receive the love and attention they deserve. Trust me to keep your furry friends happy, healthy, and safe while you're away! Currently, out of work for the summer. During the summer I spend most times outdoors, walking, and hanging with friends and my own fur baby. When caring for pets in my home, I create a comfortable and safe environment for them. I ensure they have access to food, water, and a cozy resting area. I stick to their feeding schedule and take them out for walks or playtime regularly. I also make sure to give them lots of love and attention to keep them happy and healthy while they're in my care. If you have any specific questions about pet care at home, feel free to ask!
