About: I have always had many animals growing up, from German shepherds to geckos, there is no animal that I don’t absolutely adore, I have three cats and many reptiles of my own:) I am no longer pregnant! But I do have a little one now, so I will take in small to medium dogs and cats or one large dog, two small dogs are okay! But if your dog is super chaotic and hyper i recommend a different sitter for your pup :)! I promise to make your pet a top priority in my home, nothing toxic or dangerous will be out to harm your pet in any way, my house is completely pet friendly! Plus I do have a little one so childproofing my house has helped with the puppies too 🤣❤️🔥
About: We have had the pleasure of owning a small business called "Pet-Inn" and boarded many dogs! Me and my mom took care of others dogs for quite some time and really enjoyed it. This experience helped me become passionate about entrepreneurship as well as working towards a compassionate connection with your pets! I currently have a part-time small business I'm running apart from being a "SAHM" so I will have plenty of time to get to know your beloved pet and get to know them so I can take care of them in the best way I know possible! I have some free time in my schedule, so finding a slot during the week to care for your pet works well for us. I have a now 5-year-old who adores small dogs, cats, and other animals! I am well aware of the responsibilities of pet care, but I want to emphasize that your pet's safety is my top priority.
