About: I have always struggled to find/trust someone to properly care for my dog. She is our elderly little princess and hate the idea of her going to a kennel or overly crowded care center if we needed overnight care. I am good with elderly dogs, those with high anxiety, need medications or have special diets. My dog Daisy is very good blending to others dogs temperaments. If your dogs sleeps in bed with you they are welcome too with me as well. I want them to feel at home so anything you do extra that they like please let me know. They will get lots of scratches belly rubs and kisses. We are very affectionate and patient with pets and treat them the same as I would my own who is very spoiled. I am a full time pet caregiver so they get all the attention they need. I have plenty of flexibility to be able to care for pets. Daisy listens very well and goes outside without a leash with supervision 6 times per day. She spends most days hanging out with me or guarding the house on the back of the couch through the front window. My husband, Daisy and I spend evenings in bed watching Netflix or play board games and we take a little walk around on a leash in the afternoon or early evening. She is pretty old so we don’t go too far these days. Your pup would just be hanging out with us doing the same stuff. We do not have kids in the house so calm and quiet and good for older dogs like mine. Daisy eats very healthy with fresh chicken or hamburger with veggies and no dog food or treats except bits of turkey dogs. We are happy to accommodate any diet. She is very beta and does well with any personality of dog.

“Great service . Wonderful.with Stevey.”
17. Holly Jean V.
“Holly Jean is an exceptionally trustworthy and loving dog watcher. I don't let many people take care of my dog, but she is one I'm comfortable giving her to. I know she will be loved like her own, cared for, and played with... even if that means endless rounds of fetch. I highly recommend Holly Jean to anyone looking for a dog walker or sitter!”
18. Gretchen S.
“Gretchen has a real love that for animals which shows. She was flexible when I had plans change, and spent extra time with my pets, even showing extra concern for the security of my home. I’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to take care of your family!”
19. Abigail C.
“Jae goes out of their way to make owners and pups feel at home! My dog adores them and I love that she does repeat drop ins every weak. Ella is in heaven!”

About: I have had my pitbull since he was nine months, and we rescued him from Texas. At the very beginning, he was very scared and he was always shaking. He was also full of fleas and was very dirty but as soon as we got him home, we were able to clean him up without an issue and he knew that he knew that he was going to be taken care of and It was almost as he knew that we were going to care for him as if he was one of our own because now he is one of our own. Ever since we got him, I was the one left in charge to take care of him because everybody knew that no matter what he was going to be taken out to potty to have eaten at the right times and that he would always have lots of playtime. He is a very playful and energetic dog so he loves to run around. I also own a cat who loves to run around sometimes, but he likes to lay down a lot and he loves to snuggle and if there are any accommodations a pet needs that is some thing that I am more than okay with working around. I believe that pets need the best care possible and aren’t just animals, I feel like they are a part of a family and they should always be treated like a part of a family. I’m currently a full-time student and a part-time Employee at FedEx, but I am free anytime Friday or Saturday and Sunday and I can also do mornings on Tuesdays, If we need to fit something else in, we can definitely find something to work it out. I treat Pets with respect because they deserve that as well. And I am always willing to accommodate their needs if there are any needed. I love to play with them because it makes me happy seeing them happy even if they just lay down I would enjoy to be around them.
