About: I’ve had pets most of my life and here in the last two years I’ve helped my brother with his dog, taking her for walks and spending time with her while he is at work. I’m very patient, and enjoy learning new things about each dog and how they act. I love animals of any kind and would be happy to become a companion and play with your fur babies! I’m new to the area and am currently looking for a part time job so at the moment I have all the time needed to take care of your pets I’m currently available anytime during the week from 11 am to 10 pm. I have a medium sized backyard with a dog door leading to a big shop. I have a small Jack Russel Mutt who’s friendly as far as I have seen he loves bigger dogs. Unfortunately he does like cats so I wouldn’t be able to keep a cat. I am not sure how he would act with a dog smaller than him as he’s never gotten to see one so we would have to try and let them meet before I would feel comfortable letting him play with your dog.
“I was in an emergency situation and had to find pet care in a pinch. Heather quickly responded and we were able to communicate my needs over a phone call. I left the call feeling confident in her ability to care for my Paco. Paco had a laceration at the time and was on multiple medications. Heather did a great job of meeting his medical needs and sending me daily updates. She went above and beyond and communicated with my friend who was caring for him in the evenings sharing updates. I could not recommend her enough and will definitely be using her in the future. She was amazing!”

“Debbie is amazing with our boys, a Newfie (Rylie) rescue about 7 yrs old and 7-month-old Dalmation (Connor). They absolutely adore her. She checks in, checks out, gives status reports, and takes lots of pics of them playing and her playing with them.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I could remember growing up with both but most importantly my experience in shelters and vet tech fields from learning to care for their emotional and physical needs and understanding on a deeper level to understanding their medical needs. I have experience with good animals and dangerous animals. Any quirks I can most definitely try to work with. I am currently working as a vet tech in Brevard County. I am lucky enough to have every other day off, to check in on your beloved fur babies and take on walks or even dog sit overnight. I have one small dog girl who loves anything and everyone she meets, and a big open field to have them run around in. Plenty of good quality treats and love to go around!
