About: I have worked intensively for 3 years in dog daycare with as many as 30 dogs in a room. Before that I’ve always been an avid dog owner and caretaker for as long as I can remember. I work mornings during the week, so I am available after 1:30 pm weekdays. I am very punctual and reliable, and deeply care for a dogs wellbeing!

About: I’ve always been the type to help not only people but animals as well. I enjoy taking care of others and my love for animals makes it a pleasure to take care of them and learn more on how to make them happy. I have a dog and I visit my hometown often and that’s when I get to see her. I am attentive to her needs and I always make sure she is well. I catch onto animals needs pretty quick. I can always tell when they need to use the bathroom, eat, or want to play. I notice signs of illness or if they’re feeling down and I make sure they know they’re cared for.

About: I love animals! I’m a dog mom to a rescue American Pitbull Terrier who is the love of my life! I previously was a dog mom to my other love Goldendoodle Millie who crossed the rainbow bridge due to cancer. I’ve fostered over 25 dogs & have experience cat sitting as well. Animals are my happy place and I love babying and caring for them. As such, I’d like to offer my services to keep your pets happy with cuddles and smooches while you’re away from them. I have a genuine connection with animals & would love to help them feel less lonely while you’re away. I’ve seen all different energy levels and weight levels up to 80 pounds. I’m currently a volunteer with a shelter (have volunteered with various shelters over 7 years) and would be happy to share my experience or provide any information if you have any interest! My prices might be a bit high, but I know I provide excellent service, am a hard worker, and have a genuine love of animals so I think I’m worth it!

If you’re close to me, I can drop by during lunch. From being a foster mom to homeless dogs, I’m very cognizant of the safety of animals. I know dogs especially can be easily spooked so I ensure that I have a firm grip on the leash with it wrapped once around my wrist. I talk to animals, both cats and dogs, like they’re babies! I’m very much guilty of having a baby voice, but I feel the animals love and respond to it!
