About: WARNING- I send soooooo many pic and video updates to pet parents. If you don’t like for constant updates I may not be the sitter for you. I am a huge dog person, my aunt is a veterinary technician, and since I was a child, I went to work with her every weekend to assist her with cleaning the kennels, sitting with the dogs the veterinary clinic owned. Observing the animals behavior. I’ve owned a dog since I was five years old. Dogs have ALWAYS been a passion of mine. Anytime I see one out and about, I always ask if I can pet it or Love on it. I currently have an American Staffordshire Terrier named Kira Bella, I’ve owned her for four years. She is an ex show dog. She’s my child. I treat her no differently than a human would treat their own child. So I know the importance of finding the right person to care for your dog or cat. I am very picky about who watches my girl so I understand, just know that your fur baby is in good hands with me and I will treat them like they are my own fur baby. I have several clients that have booked with me that loved the service I’ve provided for them. I do require a meet and greet beforehand to make sure we are compatible, if we vibe well together then I will book you in right away! I own my own business so I make my own hours, I’ll have plenty of time to care for your babies as my work is very flexible. I will treat your fur baby like they are my own, if they are allowed on the furniture, I will cuddle with them. If they need to be crated , I have no problem crating them. If they need medication I have no problem giving it to your baby. I was raised with an aunt that is a veterinary technician so I spent a lot of time at the vet clinic with her learning how to handle animals and give them medication.

About: Experience includes growing up with a mini farm to raising sugar gliders in college and now having my two yorkiepoo fur babies for the last 6 years. My toddler son and I have been doing drop in visits for our neighbors dogs for a couple years now and really enjoy the cuddles and play time! I’m a SAHM so my schedule is pretty open 7 days a week for drop by visits to include walks, potty breaks and play time. Having an open schedule makes it easy to pop over to your home to let your furry loved ones out to stretch their legs, be fed, play some ball, get tummy rubs or for walks. My two small sons are always with me but one spends most of his day snoozing while my 2 year old toddler would love nothing more than to throw the ball 100 or more times for your furry friend.

We feed our pets twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. We let our dogs out multiple times each day to play and potty.
