About: I have had dogs for over 10 years now. I currently have three dogs that are all under 8 pounds. Their names are Chiquis, Chato, and Pluto. I’m graduating in December, which gives me plenty of free time to focus on caring for your pet. I’m home most days and afternoons, so I’m able to give consistent attention, walks, playtime, and anything else your pet needs throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore. Pets are always supervised, and I make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for. Whether they’re inside relaxing or outside getting their energy out, I keep the environment clean, safe, and stress-free.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. Back home in Missouri, my family has 4 dogs. I have my own Golden Retriever and labrador retriever that I have trained into warm hearted lovers. I am currently a student athlete, so I am available all through out the day to walk, check in on pets. During track season, my availability may change Wednesday-Sunday, but for the most part I’m in town all week. I live in an apartment, so I will not be able to hang out with your pets over night at my house, but I am experienced in taking care of family members dogs while out of town.
