About: I’m a super outgoing, caring person. I love spending my free time helping others with their pet needs, if it’s feeding, walking, playing outside, or taking them to parks. I work 9am-3pm Monday-Friday but have the free time before and after work to take care of your pets needs. And free on the weekends to give them extra love. I definitely make sure your house is clean and taking care of. Making sure your furry animals are safe from objects and the outdoors at all times and their needs are met.
About: I’ve never lived a day of my life without at least one dog in it. I’ve cared for my own, my neighbors and family. I worked for a dog daycare and boarding facility. I’ve administered medications including injections. I love to take them for walks, have play time, or just snuggle on the couch. I will treat your pup as if it were my own. I live in Billings but also frequent the Roberts, Joliet, and Red lodge areas, so consider me for overnights if you are out in that area. I work from home part time and am able to create my own schedule. This would be a fun and rewarding way to get out if the house. My dogs sleep in bed with me, but I would have your pets sleep wherever they are used to. I like to keep feeding on a regular schedule. 8am for breakfast and 6pm for dinner. I like to go for walks around 4, again keeping a schedule. Since I would be staying in your house, if you want, your pets would keep to whatever their regular routine is.
About: As a former biologist, I have a high level of animal knowledge. I enjoy all species and have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, and even birds and fish. I am partially retired, and have a lot of time to lend to your pets. I enjoy animals and have owned all varieties of pets. I live in a 2 bedroom home, with a fenced backyard. I prefer to care for your pets at your place but can watch them at mine if needed.
