About: I’ve had dogs since I was little and I have also been dog sitting on the side for friends and family for over 5 years. I will be able to care for your pups on a regular basis! Our own pups are always out and about, living the good life! I will make sure your cat/dog is well loved and all played out. Depending on location we can take long walks or just play in the backyard. 🙂

About: I’ve taken care of many types of animals since I was a kid including dogs, cats, geese, ducks, chickens, and wildlife. I’ve had and cared for many special needs animals. Including those suffering from renal failure, CHF, diabetes, and cancer. All just need and respond to love. I am available in the Albany/Leesburg/Worth County area for early morning and evenings as well as weekends. I am available in the Albany/Leesburg area mid day. I will provide a loving resource to care for your pet or pets in the environment they’re most comfortable in, their home. Stress and fear are just as hard on pets as they are for people.

About: I was raised around many cats and hunting dogs which over time teaches you a certain amount of patience in order to make sure your pet is well taking care of . I am a part-time student and work a part time job but my schedule is open , weekends are also highly open for me considering I usually just do school work . I was brought up to treat someone else’s home as your own home , with that I not only want to make sure your pets are comfortable but as my clients I want to make sure your comfortable as well .
