About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets since I was 15. I have done sitting for neighbors, coworkers, family, and friends. I have a love for animals and their care. I currently work part time on top of school. I end school here in a couple of months so I am just trying to get my foot in the door right now with smaller jobs until I can pursue fully. With all pets I have sat, I make sure that they have a safe place. If they run off to a certain spot, I will make sure to have all of their needs by that area so they feel safe and comfortable in that corner. With sitting pets and taking care of them, I want to make sure to keep the pets happy and healthy!

About: I’ve had family pets my entire life ranging from dogs & cats to goats & donkeys! I have two indoor dogs, Wayne and Emma. Emma is a 5 year old pit bull/catahoula mix. I’ve been through multiple dog trainings with her as she has issues with other dogs and reactivity. She is a nervous girly and needs lots of special attention. Wayne is a 6 year old rescue from a local shelter. When Emma was a puppy I was looking for a buddy for her and Wayne was the first dog I saw, I knew he was the one. He’s easy going, laid back and very chill. My dogs are 50 and 80 pounds so I’m comfortable with small or large dogs! Although I don’t have any cats of my own all of my family does and I’m happy to take care of your furry feline friends as well! My nervous girl Emma is on multiple medications so I am comfortable giving those as well! I am a stay at home, military wife, and have a flexible schedule! I would love to be able to check in on your animals through the day, do feedings or take them on walks. I understand how your animals are not just ‘pets’, they are family. Because I have a reactive dog, I understand that boarding in a facility is not always a possibility. I would love to be able to take care of your pets and the comfort of their own home so that they can feel as safe and loved as possible!
