About: I have had animals my whole life and have been taught on how to care for them at a young age. I have 2 cats of my own and a family dog that just passed at the old age of 15. My friends and family have always relied on me to take care of their animals while their away and it is one of my favorite things to do! I love animals and being around them daily makes me happy!!! I work a part-time job while I am home for college and it gives me plenty of free time to be able to care for and have fun with your pets! I would be away from them while I am at my job but that would be for no more than 4-6 hours at a time, leaving plenty of time for love and attentive care for your pets! I had a dog my whole life and recently got 2 bonded cats a couple years ago. Taking care of both was a learning experience but it definitely taught me about the differences between the two and how to care for them. I love to keep my pets active and play with them and I would do the same with your pets if they are the same way. I keep a close eye on their behavior and usually let them relax and have fun!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I hold a special place in my heart for animals. I have had many different responsibilities that involved taking care of pets such as feeding, walking, playing and loving all animals. My favorite thing to do with my dogs is cuddle and play fetch. My schedule is flexible and open for the summer. I am currently home for summer break from college and look forward to working with you! I love the outdoors and physical activity, so I can play and walk with your pets as much as they want! I am a trustworthy person to count on when it comes to taking care of all the necessities your pets need!

About: I have always had at least one dog in my house from the moment I was born! I have been around all types of dogs, from large breeds to small. When I was 14, I was able to get my own dog in addition to our family dog. I have raised him from 3 months old to now (almost 9 years old) and have poured every ounce of love into him! He is a very attached dog with a lot of anxiety bundled into him, so I have experience with that! Our family dog lives until the age of 15, so I have experience with senior care and the extra love it takes to care for them. I have always been asked by friends and family to watch their pets because I promise to love them like my own. I am also a physician assistant student, so I do have a background in medicine and am trustworthy in various aspects. I am a physician assistant student getting ready to start clinical rotations in a few weeks. My schedule will really depend on what clinical rotation I am in. Some will only be a few days a week, while others will be every day. Feel free to reach out to see what we can work out! I have a huge yard at my home with no neighbors and a long lane away from any highway. I never let my dog outside without someone with him the entire time day or night. When visiting another home, my care is dependent on what is requested of me. If a client prefers a leash at all times outside, that is what I do. If there is a specific routine, I make sure to follow it. Dogs and cats are very routine oriented, and a stranger entering can already cause stress and anxiety, so I try to help with that in anyway I can. Only their owner knows them best!

About: I have owned dogs for my whole life and taken care of them all along the way! I currently have 3 fur babies that I absolutely adore!

I will work hard to ensure your pet is safe and we’ll cared for when they are with me, and most of all—they have fun!
