About: I’ve had pets and dogs in my family since I was 12. My neighbors growing up always trusted me to dog sit or walk their dogs while they managed their busy schedules. I’ve helped friends and classmates with their pets in my free time during grad school while they traveled or needed to study for exams. I love walking so why not take a furry friend with me! I’m currently working from home and doing freelance work so I have a lot of free time. My schedule is pretty flexible. I can work around your schedule! I will primarily be walking your dog in parks, trails, and neighborhoods with sidewalks to ensure safety. If you have a yard available, even better!

My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I'm pretty flexible, so if your dog has any special needs, or if there's anywhere in particular you'd like your dog to visit, just let me know. I'm currently working part-time so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I can do anytime, any day. I will accept same day visits as well. I have one dog at home.

About: I am super loving to all animals and love making animals feel loved and catering to their needs. At home i enjoy playing with my dog and teaching her new tricks and rewarding her for her good behavior and efforts. I am extremely patients with animals as i would be with humans because i understand that they have emotions like we do and sometimes just need that attention and the care. On my days off it is easy for me to show my attention to animals in need when the owner may not have the time and care to give it to them. I always watch our surroundings we going on walks or outside in the yard. Ensuring they are on their leash at all time on their walks and checking if all gates are closed when in the backyard.
About: I've grown up around animals (cats, dogs, & snakes) and actively cared for them for as long as I can remember! I currently own 2 cats and foster three more, one of whom has special needs. My partner and I also have a room full of fish tanks, both fresh and saltwater, so finned friends are no problem. I have owned reptiles previously, so I am open to a wide variety of pets (or plants) in all shapes and sizes. My availability is very open, since pet-sitting is my primary job. Weekends or weekdays work equally well for me. I will structure my schedule around whatever pet I am house-sitting for, to give you the peace of mind that they're healthy and happy while you aren't home. Each animal is unique— I love spending quality time with them so I can get to know their individual personalities and quirks. I enjoy putting in the extra effort to earn their trust. I am experienced with elderly pets, and can give medications if necessary. I can help maintain long-haired pets' coats. I have seen all sorts of pet-related messes, and I have no problem cleaning them up. I will gladly learn the needs of each pet, and adapt to make them as comfortable as possible while you're away!
