About: I’ve had dogs all of my life. My family has almost always had 2 dogs. I’ve had two puppies so far that i’ve trained and raised from about 8-10 weeks. I am currently in college at the moment in State College but I live at home in Petersburg. I only have classes Monday thru Thursday and my last class of the day ends at 12:15 or 2:05 every day. I have most evenings open from then on. I do have a part time job that I usually work 4-5 days a week . I do not have a fenced in yard but I live in the country so I don’t have many neighbors or roads to worry about. My puppy stays in a kennel during the day as he still likes to chew and my older dog does not go in a crate. They both have plenty of toys to play with and a big yard to run around in.
About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, and more. Currently, I have two pets: Gremlin, a male mutt, and Eggs, a long-haired tabby female. They are my babies. A year ago, I experienced the loss of my sweet husky and lab, and I still miss them dearly. My passion for animals is unwavering, and I take great joy in caring for them. Gremlin, in particular, is very friendly and enjoys meeting new animals. I am a highly responsible and dedicated individual who will treat your pets with the utmost care and attention. I will provide regular updates and photos throughout the day to ensure your peace of mind while you are away. Additionally, I will ensure that your pets are well-fed, exercised, groomed, and their living area is kept clean. I am excited to meet you and your pets and provide them with the love and care they deserve. I am currently not working for the summer so I have plenty of time for your pets! I will be on most weekdays and weekends. I have a large unfenced yard. I have a friendly pup that would love to play. I allow my pets on my furniture. I can crate your pet if you would prefer otherwise they can get on my couch or the dog beds around my apartment. Whether at your house or mine, I will cade for your pet how you prefer and spoil them like my own.
“Rusty has been great with my dog, Kota! Since Kota can be nervous around new people, we scheduled a meet-and-greet prior to any visits. Rusty took the time to get to know his quirks, and allowed for a slow introduction. He has been very reliable and flexible, and always provides detailed updates. I highly recommended booking with Rusty!”
