About: I spend majority of my time with my dogs and the dogs I watch. I grew up showing and competing with my families dogs in all kinds of dogs sports! I current have a few of my own dogs that LOVE to have visitors! Your dog(s) are integrated into my family during their stay. Couch and cuddle time is always included! I also currently volunteer at a dog training facility and am always learning and adding to my knowledge base. I love having different dogs around and welcome any size of dog from under 10lbs to over 150lbs I work fulltime during the week but its only a few minutes from my house. I come home every day at lunch for 45 mins and let the dogs out to run and go potty. So they will never be left in a crate or room for more than 4 hrs max. I have a fenced in back yard for them to potty and run around in. Any dog that is in my house is integrated into the family. If I am home the dogs are out and get just as much couch and cuddle time as my personal dogs. All of my dogs are very well accustomed to having visiting dogs around. I also have a system if you have a dog thats not super dog friendly as I have a separate room that they can stay in and I will rotate my dogs and your dog(s) to accommodate that.

Jonathan did a great job with our two cats. He was wonderful to work with and made sure that they were well taken care of while we were on vacation.

About: I’ve always had/been around dogs. With that comes responsibility and loving care. I have experience with all sizes and willing to accommodate any special needs. I’m currently a college student at Murray State, almost all my classes are online besides on Tuesday. My schedule is flexible, we can work out a time/date together. I do go to church on Sunday, so I would need that morning/afternoon off. I am a big cuddle bug. I pay attention to the small details. I enforce rules while trying to add some tricks. I keep the environment light and I try to accommodate in anyway for my clients and their babies(dogs).

About: I grew up on a farm with a lot of animals to care for. I also have bottle fed and raised a puppy from day one. I’ve raised many kittens and older cats as well. I can administer medications if needed. I will play with them, take them for walks, love on them, whatever they need! I am a Registered Nurse so I care for pets on my days off! I work 3 nights a week so I have four available days usually! I have an 11 year old well trained black lab and a very friendly cat that loves dogs too! I will provide any care your animal needs.

About: I was born and raised around pets which include your typical farm animals as well! I have always had dogs, cats, birds and even fishes! I hold my animals dear to my heart! I will take care of your animals like they are my own! I have a soft spot for Dogs and Cats. I don’t mind walking dogs but it’s more than likely your dog will be walking me! I love playing with animals, it makes me happy and the animal as well! If you need to ask me questions, feel free! And I’m looking forward to meeting your animal(s)! I work as a Pharmacy Technician, but I have free time to take care of your animals! Let me know what you are looking for and I can let you know if I’m available! Maggie Mae is my pride and joy. She’s a very lazy English bulldog that needs more care than the average dog. I will take care of your fur babies like their my own!
