About: I’ve had animals all my life, and would love the opportunity to pamper yours! My husband and I have a six month old great Dane/English mastiff puppy in our home, so puppy training is very fresh in our minds!

About: I have always had a good connection with dogs and cats. I love all animals and we have 2 rescues of our own. 1 dog and 1 three legged cat. I care for both of our pets on a daily basis. Between feeding, petting, bathing, walking. The best part is when they play together and loving each other. We have a fenced in yard and kept as clean as possible. Our animals are fed on a schedule and given treats for positive reinforcement. Plus everyday duties that may occur.

About: I’ve always had an animal in my home. When I was younger I had from fish, to snakes, to dogs. Being an animal lover is one of my favorite characteristics of myself! I have a full time job currently but I work 3p-11p. I’m fortunate to have weekends off which makes me available for weekend get always to take care of your fur baby or mid day drop in during the week. Unfortunately I only have a partially fenced in yard but hardwood floors to fit babies who are still in the process of being potty trained especially since I try to avoid being in the crate as much as possible. I potty trained my daughter and a puppy at the same time so patience was a huge virtue I developed.
