About: I have watched my friends dogs, walking them, feeding, cleaning and watching them over night up to 2 weeks at a time. I love dogs, they truly are a man's best friend. I make sure to give them the attention and love they deserve and make sure they are fed, quenched, happy and never bored. I love being outdoors so I can make sure they get to walk, run, play at the park or walk around the block. Watching my friends dog for 2 weeks while he was on vacation was an amazing experience. I grew very close to the dog, named Toby. He slept in my room every night, I walked him every morning, bathed him, fed him. I am grateful I got the chance to dog-sit.
About: My whole life I have always had dogs. I absolutely love all animals. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. It is so much fun to meet new animals! I have no job as of right now and I only go to school from 9:10 am-2:26 pm with an hour and a half break everyday from 11:22 am -12:58 pm. I will do anything asked of me to help take care of your fur babies to cause you no stress while you are away! I will even take them to the groomers and vet if needed.
About: I have cared for cats, dogs, bunnies and fish since I was a child! Your pet will be in good hands with me, guaranteed. I am excited to meet my new friend! I have a part-time career in social services, so Rover fits into the other hours of the day that I am free to work with your pet(s). I like to keep the water bowl full, bathroom breaks every 1-2 hours (or as needed), and food, treats, walks as specified by the pet owner!
About: With 12 years experience (including my family dog) or 2 years of watching others dogs I can care for all dog breeds, sizes and personalities. I will provide more than just basic care-I will be a companion for them that will be consistent and have genuine love for your furry family members. From long walks for the high energy dogs to short walks with nice times to sit down with senior dogs I can tailor for your dogs unique needs. I treat every dog like my own with patience, respect and a whole lot of tail wags. Daily visits, overnight stays or extended vacations. I will make sure your dog feels safe and loved while you’re away! I have weekends off and I am happy to stay as long as they need! On weekdays I can drop by before work, on my lunch break and after work. My normal work schedule is 8:30am-4:30pm with a whole hour for lunch to check in on your furry friends! I am able to go before work, for lunch, and in the evening after work whenever needed! I will care for your pet by ensuring they always have access to water and get fed at the appropriate times. I will make sure the escape artists cannot just get outside and that there is nothing that could be a danger to them out available for them to grab.
About: I've had experience with an assortment of animals for a large part of my life. I volunteered an animal shelter in Scottsville, NY for about two years walking dogs of every size and taking care of cats. I have also housed two large German Shepherds and three Dachshunds, both of which are very demanding breeds. I currently reside in Owego, NY, and I work part-time in Endicott, NY Monday through Wednesday from 8AM to 5PM. I may provide brief surfaces on evenings these days, such as a walk or stop-in. Any other day is fair game. Per the restrictions of my apartment complex, I won't be able to care for or bring pets in my home. However, I would be sure to respect any client's home I may enter.
