About: I’ve taken care of animals for a long time. I first started with my mom at a young age. She taught me how to take care of animals and how to respect them.

With clear instructions I have also given pets the medicine that they needed at the time. I love both dogs and cats and have experience caring for both. Right now, I am the proud dog mom of an 8 year old Lab-Akita mix. She’s the love of my life and would do anything for her.Being a pet owner myself, I understand the joys and anxieties that come with caring for them so I will be ensure to provide excellent care.

I will try to keep them occupied so they aren’t missing you too much. I love to go on walks myself, so if it’s allowed I will try to walk them plenty.

About: I have had dogs for most of my life and always loved all animals. I work remotely so I am almost always home with my own pets. I work from home, so rather than keeping a strict schedule, I usually follow my dogs’ lead. They generally let me know when they need to go outside/come inside, eat, play, etc. We do at least two feedings a day. Every animal I’ve ever had has had their own unique personality with unique needs. Right now I have big, friendly dogs, but before them I had a grumpy old Yorkie with epilepsy/special needs. I will tailor my care to whatever will be best for your pet(s).
