About: I have had three dogs for the past 4 years and I have lots of experience taking care of other people’s dogs. I have most experience with small and medium size dogs. I am currently a student working part time so I have a lot of time to take care your pet and give them the attention they need. I have three small dogs of my own and a backyard that the dogs are welcome to play in. I am willing to have animals at my house or go to your home and take care of them in yours.
About: Animals are Gods among us. I agree with Ricky Gervais, that "a dog loves you more than it loves itself, and that's why I worship dogs." Honestly, this gig is a bit selfish - my sweet baby Pit Mix passed away recently & I miss her terribly. I'm certain that engaging with animals will soothe this depression. I am socially awkward with humans, but I love animals. This will be therapy, a true gift, to me. I also need to exercise more and would like to be able to afford any kind of home, some day. My family has had pets since I was in kindergarten. I volunteered with Faithful Friends in High School, through which I also fostered kittens. I have taken care of my neighbors' & friends' pets while away over the years, which I equate to a collective total of ~2 years. I take medical issues very seriously & cared for my doll when she was ill. I understand how stressful & important it is. My favorite thing about walking a dog is when the folded tops of their ears bounce up and down. I work full time until ~4:30PM, but I am usually free after. I am available for boarding on the weekends. On the days I work from home (typically Monday & Wednesday), I can also provide a walk or check in during my lunch hour (1 to 2PM). There are no other animals or children in my home; your pet will have my undivided attention. I have a large partially fenced in yard, and many walking trails nearby. I'm also happy to take care of a pet in your home, if preferred.
“Molly was really great! She came over to let my dog, Zoe, out a couple times while I was gone. I got lots of pictures, she played with Zoe and made sure she had water, and Zoe really liked her.”
“We needed someone to feed and care for our cat while we were away, and Sara was great. We did a quick meet and greet before we left, and she came at the scheduled time each day we were away to care for Ginny. She sent pictures, and communicated well. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Currently have 1 medium size female Lab named Sophie and two indoor male cats named Herbert and Harry both over 10 years old. Dog and Cat boarding will be a fulltime service. No other current obligations. All emergency and pet care needs would be available 24/7. Currently my husband works full time and will be available part time and I will be available for full time pet care. Our home has a large closed in breezeway that opens up to a fenced in 1/4 acre backyard. We have two indoor male cats and a 6 year old female lab named Sophie to be a friendly companion during your pet's stay with us. Our home is located within 2 miles of Delaware's White Clay Creek State Park and Maryland's Fair Hill Natural Resource center if pet owners approve of hiking adventures.
