About: I’ve taken care of dogs of multiple ages and sizes. I follow schedules to a tee, feeding amounts, treat allowance, etc. I even have a friend on call who works in a veterinary office if ever needed. I currently work full-time Monday-Friday from 9:00am-4:00pm. I don’t work weekends unless necessary, but not often. I would let you know ahead of time or not accept on those weekends. I usually spend my free time doing school. I will follow your schedule to exactly how you wish it be done. Including the usual wake-up and bedtimes that they’re adjusted to, so that they’re not getting off of their usual schedule with you.

About: I’ve pet sat for family members ever since I was a kid. As an adult, I’ve worked in veterinary clinics and at a day care facility. I’ve also stepped up as, what my mom has dubbed, a “doggie doula” to young mother with both her first and last litters. I helped her raise them from birth to six-eight weeks and found homes for each one, as well as rehomed one of the pups. Two of her pups (one from each litter) are now living with my family, Shego and Mochi. I also own one seniors and manage the care for all 3 of my dogs. I’ve adapted our home to be suitable and comfortable for my senior, while also having space for my 2 year old pups to play and cuddle and entertain themselves. I am available in the mornings and evenings! I work for a summer camp from 10am-4pm during the weekdays. I can visit or do walks from 6am-8am and 5pm-9pm. As I am currently housing 3 dogs, I am unavailable for pet sitting in my home. I am open to spending the day with your pup outside of your home (Dog Park, Petsmart, Petco, Car Rides). Prices may vary.
