About: I’ve cared for all types of animals my entire life and had been working in a clinic for just under one year. I love each animal as my own and can’t wait to build a relationship with your pet to help keep the safe, happy, and healthy!! I work part time in fast food currently, I have a ton of free time to play and take care of your animals. My schedule is very flexible and I am able to make more time for your pet if I am let known in advance. I very much believe in listening to your pets signs and cues, letting them decide if they are okay with the situation. I want to keep myself, your pet, and you as safe as possible!!

About: I’ve had dogs since I was in college and I now have a farm with all kinds of different animals! There is nothing better than an animals love other than knowing your loved ones are being taken care of properly. My animals are my family and I will treat yours as my family too. I currently help with rescues on transportation, fostering, and placement. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can usually work around my work schedule pretty easily to accommodate a variety of times and needs. I will give all your pets all the love! My pets are allowed on all the furniture as it’s their house too. I have an acreage that provides lost of space for walks and play and I also have a gps fence that can be used if wanted.

About: I have been a dog lover for many years! I used to have a farm dog growing up & I now have a dog of my own, Bear, who is a border collie/ golden retriever mix! I always make sure fresh water is readily available, I have extra food/ water bowls as well. I like to take 2-4 mile walks throughout the day. I bring a portable water dish and treats. I do regularly brush my dog, I would be happy to do the same with your puppers! I will interact with your puppers by a tug of war game, fetch, and a mental stimulation puzzle toy! I have administered oral medications before as well! I am home most of the day, occasionally I will leave for a couple hours to run errands or hang out with friends. My weekends are usually always open. I do not have a fenced in back yard, so my dog, Bear, is always on a leash, he has a harness on walks. My experience with my own dog is he is hyper and active, I try my best to keep up with his energy level!

I will do everything in my power to make sure your animals are well cared for and cherished. I am a full time student but class is over after 2:30 so anytime in the afternoons works best for me. Also anytime during weekends I can be available. Just tell me a time and I will do what’s necessary to fit it in my schedule. I’m willing to do just about anything. I’m comfortable with staying in your home if that’s necessary. I will give them lots of love and attention. Making sure all their needs are met.
