About: I’ve been taking care of family and friends furry babies for a few years now, and absolutely love it! I love all animals, but big dogs will always have their special place in my heart🥰 I’m currently looking for a full time job, and am available during the week and weekend. So I have plenty of time to play with your fur babies!! My older sister has a pit bull with high anxiety, who requires a daily dose of oral medication. I frequently house/dog sit for her, so I am well versed in giving animals their proper dosages, medications and following timelines. For my clients, I follow every pet parents guidelines when it comes to their babies, because I know that you know what’s best for them!!

13. Kodie C.
About: I have taken care of my own and others for many many years. At least 10. Friends and family bring their dogs to me to watch while they are gone. I can give medicine to them if required. They all love playing outside and of course we can’t forget about the zoomies they may get inside. I let them sleep in the bed if they’d like. I love my lap dogs no one is ever to big. I have a fenced in yard for them to run around in as well. I currently am not working. I will be home with your pup all day and night. May call me as early 6am to schedule and it’s never to late to call me in the afternoons. I have a fenced in back yard. I also have 3 dogs of my own ranging from x- small to large and ages are young to senior. My dogs range from extremely lazy to lots of energy. I have one that’s on medication every day. I can also create your dog if needed. I give all my dogs baths very regularly and if you like I will give your pup a bath before returning home.
