About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. My experience with most animals is pretty well. I use stern commands and also make sure that the pets that I take care of feel like they’re right at home. I am a full time teacher and on the weekends I bartend. I make sure that my dog gets well taken care of during the week by walking her before work or after work. I make sure that she gets played, fed and walked. I make sure my dog is well taken care of and I abide by whatever the client expects from me. Trust is huge in being able to care of someone’s precious baby.
About: Hey there! My name is Sydney and I absolutely love all animals, big and small. I have dog sat and walked many dogs, from tiny toy poodles to massive Pharaoh hounds. I have two pups myself so I’m very familiar with unique behavioral needs/patterns of dogs. I also grew up in a home with 8 cats so am very comfortable with cats as well. I can walk your dog frequently or even run with them. No matter what kind of dog (or cat) you have, I'd love to take care of them. Feel free to contact me through phone/email! My work schedule is fairly flexible which allows me to meet you and your pets' needs, whether that involves overnight, mid-day or even extended care. I know how important it is to have someone you can really trust to leave your pets with when you go out of town. I will care for your pet in your home like they’re my own.
About: Hello! I have grown up with pets my entire life and have spent the past couple of years learning how to care for cats and dogs. I have helped raise dogs from puppies to adulthood with everything from grooming to exercise. The breeds I have the most experience with are Labrador and Maltese dogs. For training, I have experience both in training my own dogs and carrying on the training set by the owners of the dogs I watch over. I love to exercise with pets and enjoy walking with them alongside playing with toys. I have no preferences when it comes to pets as I will happily care for and love them all! I work a part time job with a very flexible schedule so I am easily able to fit pet care into my weekly schedule alongside care for my own animals. I am experienced with both crate-trained and free roaming pets. I am also keen on pet welfare to ensure the animal’s physical safety and happiness.
