“Paris was an awesome care taker of my fur babies! She is very thorough in her communication with us about her time with our babies. We enjoyed and loved all the pictures she took of them while in her care. We highly recommend Paris to dog sit. She is trustworthy and my babies love her!”
About: I'm very patient and experienced with fur babies of all sizes and kinds. I can handle watching dogs twice my size. I'm understanding that every fur baby is different and you have to treat them accordingly so they can become comfortable around you. I understand it can be difficult trusting people to care for them and will ensure they are safe and receive best care and time with me. I will treat your fur baby as I would want someone to treat mine. l work from home and do online schooling due to this my schedule is flexible. I’m available to watch your fur baby for entire duration if needed. I take them out for a walk as often as needed . If they take medicine I don’t mind administering it to your fur baby. I will stimulate their mind with different thinking games and treats. They will learn different commands if they don't know them already. I even take them to vet visit if needed throughout the duration of time I’m watching them.

I look forward to having her take care of our dog again!”
