About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I feel that my compassion and empathy for animals goes beyond what most people are capable of. I have trained all of my own dogs and have an ample amount of experience. I’m working part time but my schedule varies. So, I am likely available. I am available most times of the day including early mornings and nights. Your animal will be treated with the utmost compassion and love. I will treat your animal as I treat my own.

About: I grew up with a dog, currently live with two dogs and a large (long) cat who also will play or lay with the dogs. Dogs are funny, fun to play with and great to walk, especially since I get to exercise too ;) plus I love trying to teach them tricks! I have a passion for animals and photography so I have volunteered at an animal shelter (Tails Humane Society)! I took pictures of adoptable animals for their website as well as taking photos at their fundraising events. I have also driven around in my own to collect any donations people were willing to give and donate them to a couple animal shelters. Ultimately, I enjoy helping and do the as much as I can to help animals. Available most all day every day to help with your pets whenever you need. I'm glad to help, I really enjoy helping others with their pets I will do what is needed like feed, water and walk but always try to stay a bit longer to spend time with the animal. I like to think of it as giving them some company for a bit while their owner is away :)

I am switching between the Carbondale and Cape Girardeau area. I have lots of free time to deliver pet care to a wide area.

For dog walking specifically, I know safe places for walks to ensure your pets safety. Additionally I have a pet seat belt in my car if needed, I am well prepared.
