About: I grew up taking care of dogs on our family farm. I was responsible for feeding, watering, cleaning, and spending time with them each day. I also grew up with a cat in the home. I love animals and enjoy taking dogs on walks. Besides my school schedule, I am very free. I have my own car and I live on campus. I am available in morning and evening and in between classes. I can fulfill any need that you may have for caring for your animal in your home. I live in a dorm on campus, which is not animal friendly:)

Heather was the absolute best. Her communication was top notch and she took excellent care of the kitties while I had to be out of town for work. I would trust her to watch my pets any day of the week! I will definitely be rebooking with her and her family. Thank you so much Heather you gave me the peace of mind while I was away!

About: Hey, My name is Madison. I have had dogs since I can remember. I have had dogs as small as 15 pounds and our biggest dog at 100 pounds. I can work with your 3 mouth old puppy that needs let out every 3 hours to your 14 year old seiner dog that needs help getting outside to use the restroom. Dont have time during the day to taking your energy filled dogs on a walk? I can walk your dog 15 mins to an hour, I work around what your dog needs. if your dog decides to jump in the mud on our walk, I can also bath them so they are nice and clean when you get home. Your little pug needs medication during the day while your gone? no problem I can help. you have a family emergency and need to fly out of state out last min, I can house dogs at my house or I can come check on your cats, dogs, hamster, etc. I have had rabbits, a ton of hamsters, 1 reptile, a pig, cats, dogs and have done a lot of work around horses. I am a student and I am currently unemployed. My schedule is open, I can work weekdays, weekends, hollidays if needed. If you need help taking your dog out at 11pm, 1am, 7am I am available . As long as you let me know in advance I can work it out. I own my own car and can be there if you need. I have 2 very friendly dogs (Myron and Mazikeen) That love to make new friends. I also have a fenced if yard, My dogs also crate trained. I also have 2 cats, I have plenty of place so if your dog don't like cats I can keep them separate. My dogs also have their own bedroom so if our dogs don't get alone I have the means to keep them separated. my dogs are very energy fulled and would keep your dog company on our walks. After a day with my dogs your dog will sleep great. if you want me to do drop in visits my dogs will not accompany me and if you don't want your dog to have others on its walk that can also be arranged.

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 6-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.
