About: I’m a lifelong dog lover currently living with my two dogs, Chip and Theo. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments through house visits and dog walking, so your pet is in good hands. I always send updates and make it a priority to make sure every pet feels as comfortable as my own. I work in tech so I’m home frequently, meaning your pet won’t be left alone for long.

I have a two bedroom apartment in a dog friendly complex with a park area right outside, so there is always somewhere to walk and get fresh air. They are never cooped up and I am home frequently so they get consistent attention throughout the day. When doing house visits or drop ins, I stick to the pet’s routine as much as possible. I handle feeding, walks, litter, and make sure they have everything they need. I always keep the owner updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is in good hands.
“Max took great care of our dog, Jax. Spent time with him inside and played with him outside on a rainy day, and took him on a nice long walk in better weather! Good updates and photos of our dog. Would love having Max see him again when we need it!!”
About: Hi there! As much as I enjoy clinical therapy, I also have formal training as a vet tech and several years of experience in the field.

No excuses.

About: I have owned and loved dogs all of my adult life and recently became a cat lover. I currently have no animals and would love to share my caring nature with one or more of your pets.

At this time I am home full-time and my hours are very flexible. If I am available I don't mind last minute requests. Dog walking is a great exercise and I love to just be around animals-I have none right now. My home is very pet friendly. No pets at home right now so no concerns about how two sets of animals might get along and your pet will get all of my attention. No children in the home either. I have a large yard-though not fenced. My neighborhood is a bit rural but close to town. I work part time during summer months. That seasonal job has ended and I have no work commitments right now. Looking for animals to care for. I provide a loving and safe environment for pets. Have cared for my own dogs and cats over the years. Currently have no pets and would be happy to offer my pet free home to your animals. I am missing my own but the time is not yet right for another pet for me.
