About: Hi! I’m a 19-year old college student, currently on summer break looking for a way to make extra cash! I’ve always had atleast 2 dogs my whole life and have all the experience! I love all the dogs and cats from small to extra large and shy to extroverted. I’ve taken care of puppies, kittens, elderly dogs and cats, lizards, hamsters, etc. I do work during the weekdays 8-4 but am available before and after to help care of your pets! I look forward to meeting new furry friends :) I currently work a 8-4 job during the weekdays but am available before or after work to stop by or stay over if needed. I’m also available basically all day on the weekends. I have a sizable yard which is fenced in and I always keep a close eye on my dogs. I take care of them appropriately and never fail to give them love.

About: I have gained so much experience with animals over the years that I have been jokingly nicknamed “the animal whisperer” and Snow White. I have had dogs and a cat my whole life, as well as watching friends, coworkers, family members and networks pets. I also have experience in animal husbandry & care from my last research position. I accept all furry friends and have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, and rodents! I currently work full time, approximately 6am-5pm (including my commute), so I am available any day after 5 for a dinner time walk or an overnight stay if pups or cats are okay being left alone for a bit. Please keep this in mind, especially regarding seniors or puppies. If your babies are used to that then I am totally fine with it. On weekends, however, I am available any time! I am able to follow any instructions given from the client and do have experience giving medication as well. I am attentive, will provide updates, always looking out for their well-being, and loving. I will provide the most comfortable & approachable aura that I can to make all fur-babies feel safe 💕
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of my own for 13 years, and I have taken care of them professionally for about 5 years. I have watched & sat in for dogs of all ages and sizes & am experienced in giving medications as well. I am a nurse that works 3 12 hour shifts a week, so I have off 4 days a week. I am looking to walk dogs/stop in on my off days. I can also do walks really early/ in the later evening on my work days. I walk my babies on 3 foot leashes with appropriately fitting harnesses for full control. I follow all recommendations regarding crating/putting away when not home, how to approach dogs safely, and how to redirect/avoid uncomfortable situations on walks.
