Lynae was amazing with our dog Eva!! She was so quick to respond when I needed to book a dog walker on short notice. She even had time to come out for a meet & greet and brought a bone with her to let Eva know she was friendly! Lynae has such good energy that Eva loved her immediately! Today she walked Eva for us and even came back for a second playtime and bathroom break that same night when I asked her since we wouldn’t be home until later than we thought. She went above and beyond and I would recommend her to anyone!!!

About: I've had a wide variety of pets over my lifetime (ie Dogs, cats,horses,hamsters,mice,rats,ferrets,rabbits,fish,chickens, ducks etc) and I love the companionship and unconditional love they give. I have worked as a Vet tech and recently started house sitting which lead to pet sitting and I've discovered it is something I truly enjoy. I've always wanted a job working with animals and this has become something I'd love to do as my full time job. I've found this is a way I can help others have peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands and being well taken care of all while I get my dream job of working with animals of all shapes,sizes and species! I am honest , dependable and will care for your pets as if they were my own.

I can almost always do morning and night visits. I will come to your home let your dogs out up to 3x per day. Give them treats or food as you wish.

About: I have watched over many dogs before from my own family dogs to my personal friends dogs as well as my moms friends dogs. I am reliable and responsible and can take good care of any dog I just graduated from Carlsbad High School and have plenty of time on my hands. I do plan however to get a part time job here soon. However I do have a flexible schedule I’ve watched over plenty of dogs throughout my life and understand dog behavior. I have watched over friends houses in the past and have been very respectful of their homes.

About: I've had numerous dogs growing up. My mom's requirements were if we wanted a dog we had to care for it ourselves. I've taken care of neighbors animals which included giving medicine to their dogs. We have a huge backyard that any fur baby will love. We just adopted a super adorable toy poodle. He is now 9 months old and has all his vaccines. He is the baby of our family. We have two daughters who are 10 and 11 and they consider him their baby brother. My family loves animals and we will treat them as our own. 💜 I am currently a stay at home mom the only time I am busy is when I take my kids to school or pick them up. I have a large fenced yard with gates that way your baby can play safe and sound. No matter in our home or yours, your fur baby will be treated just like our own.
