About: I’ve taken care of dogs of varying sizes since I was a little girl. In my childhood home we had five dogs, two cats and one bunny! I currently have three pups, and four cats! They’re very special to me and I take the most precious care of them, which I extend to all animals and hopefully, to yours too! I currently have college classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I am unavailable 1-2:30pm! M/W and weekends I can be available anytime if I have enough notice! :) Just like I do with my pets, I will follow your fur babies eating and potty schedule to a tee. They’ll only get the best love, and “gentle dog parenting” (haha). I love to go on walks myself, so they’ll get out plenty. It’s your home and your pet, so I will surely follow the rules you have set for your pet care.
