About: I've been taking care of dog for as long as I can remember. I'm able to take care of/ watch dog from puppies to seniors. I've watched dog with and without disabilities, and I know how to administer medications from pills to shots. I also know how to preform cpr and the heimlich if needed. I currently have a part time job where I get to choose when to work. So I'm able to spend time with the fur babies whenever. I'm very respectful of my clients homes, and I follow rules that they set of me. I like to keep my clients updated on what's going on with plenty of photos, and I always try to make sure the fur babies I'm watching have a good time.

About: I currently have 1 dog and 2 cats. I previously have fostered puppies, adult dogs, and kittens from a local shelter. I also used to have 12 rats! I love all animals, but especially small animals like rats, mice, guinea pigs, and hamsters! I currently don’t work, so my schedule is wide open! I can stop in any time during the day or night for anything! Or stay all day or night! I will take care of your pets like they are my own! My dog is my everything so I know how important animals are to us! I will follow all instructions and take care of them the same way you would!

About: I have extensive experience in pet care, having spent several years looking after a variety of animals including dogs, cats, and small pets. My responsibilities have included feeding, grooming, administering medication, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes and cages, and providing companionship to ensure each pet feels safe and loved. I understand the importance of routine, patience, and attention to detail when it comes to animal care. Whether caring for energetic puppies or senior pets with special needs, I always prioritize their well-being, comfort, and happiness. Pet care is a natural and consistent part of my daily routine. Since I’m available every day, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s feeding, walking, grooming, or simply spending quality time with them, I make sure every task is done with care and patience. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust easily to last-minute needs or extended care, which helps build trust with both pets and their owners. Being fully available means I can maintain a reliable and steady routine that keeps pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. I care for pets in their own home to ensure they stay comfortable in a familiar environment. When I visit a client’s home, I follow their specific care instructions closely. I make sure to keep the pet’s routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress while their owner is away. I’m respectful of the home, always keeping things clean and organized, and I stay in touch with owners through updates and photos so they know their pets are safe, happy, and well-cared for.

About: I have watched dogs and cats both long term and short term since 2018. From my parents’ pets for a day, to a 4 months house and pet-sitting arrangement in California I have had good experiences caring for animals. I take their care as seriously as I would my own pet, but respect the rules and routines set up by the pet parents. I am currently unemployed outside of this, so I have tons of availability and time to focus on YOUR pets and their needs. I can spend as much or as little time with them as needed. I care for pets based on the instructions of their normal care takers, while focusing on basic care and schedule. It’s important to me that pets feel safe and their routine is not disturbed too much. If allows, I also like to give plenty of pets and cuddles to any animals that’s accept it.

About: The care I have for dogs goes above and beyond. Wether it be small dogs, or big dogs, i’m always up for a challenge. I have had experience with both small and bigger dogs. I used to have a pug named Daisy and a bull mastiff named Buddy, just to give notice of the difference in size I have accustomed too. I have since gotten a black female pug named Nova, who will be 7 on July 16. I also have two big breeds, Charlie, who is a german shepard/lab mix, and Daisy, who’s a mutt. I have always had a love for animals, especially dogs, since I was only 6 years old. But then again, what kid hasn’t? Nursing school takes up half of my schedule, so that leaves the other half to love up on my own pups (or even yours!) Owning 3 dogs may seem like a lot of work, but it’s the craziness from it that keeps me sane. Going from owning a lazy, sleepy pug, to an energetic crazed lab, I’ve gotten accustomed to caring for dogs with different needs. I feed my dogs two meals a day, while also maintaining time to make sure they are playing enough to get their energy out. I attempted to crate train my dogs, but at the end of the day, I think they want cuddles more than I do! I can be lenient, but stern when it comes to behavior or needs.

“Lee is my go-to dog care when I take random short trips away from home and my yearly vacations. I have an older dog that is very aggressive, another that has a big bark but is scared of everything, and a hyper dog that has no act right. Lee does great with all of them & they all love her. She listened at the very first visit when I told her of their habits and boundaries and we’ve experienced nothing but happy dogs upon returning home. We even get random, cute pictures sometimes when the mutts are posing for her 🙂”
