About: Growing up on a farm I always had outside dogs like German shepherds and huskies until I convinced my parents to let me have an indoor one. That first little buddy is a morkie poo and at 8 years old is a whopping 6 pounds and a grumpy little guy. He got a friend 7 years ago, a maltipoo, who is extremely anxious and scared of most things. They both got a big sister, a mini Goldendoodle, who was trained as a service animal for deep pressure therapy. All their personalities couldn't be different from one another. I'm an aunt to a Maltipoo poo and 2 Morkies. I recently became a true dog mom this summer by my sweet mini bernedoodle, Olive. My experiences range from grumpy and smaller than a shoe, to big wild, and free. I am a full-time graduate student in a fully online master's program. I would love the opportunity to not only get out of the house and have my dog socialize with others when appropriate but to also see all the good boys and girls and take them for a stroll. I treat all puppers and doggos with the same love and care that I do my own. I do cater my behavior to complement that of a dog's personality. Giving extra love and time to anxious or senior dogs while offering energy and playfulness to the more confident ones.
About: I have cared for many kinds of animals over the last 30 years. I would treat them as if they were my own with love. I would like to negotiate your needs, my shifts right now, are 8am-4pm in Lawrence Kansas. Depending on services being requested, I may be able to adjust my scedule. I live with my brother and sister in law, we are a 3 dog home. Dogs are very friendly with all types of other dogs. Lots of land for dogs to run. They must be well trained to be here and or walk well on a leash, there is No fenced in areas. I love to go for walks and play. Also I will research your animal and provide appropriate cares and love.

About: I have always loved animals and taking care of them. I have a dog of my own and taking care of her has been a blast and I want to continue that for other people. Pet sitting and housesitting fits into my schedule every day because I take care of my dog every day so I get up early make sure the dogs or cats have food water and make sure they go out and not just for two or three minutes. Make sure they’re out long enough so that they can do their business And get some exercise Above anything I make sure the pets I care for are safe and healthy. That means they get walked and they get fed. No matter what I might have during the day your pets will come first.
