8. Destiny H.
About: I have had about 3 dogs I have taken care of in my lifetime. All of them were a part of my family. Each dog is different and requires different ways to be handled. Nonetheless, all of them wants that special love and attention. I’m currently in school, so I’m available nights Mondays and Wednesdays. I’m available after 2pm Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I have open availability on weekends. I’m a native to this area, so I know some good spots and trails to take your doggies. I’m a very active person, so they will never be bored.
9. Madison M.
About: I’ve had my own very hyperactive dog for the past 8 years, I’m very experienced with temperamental animals and potty training! I know how to be patient and loving to dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperament Pet care is already a large part of my everyday life as I have 2 pets of my own, I’ve been noticing a desire to interact with more animals and couldn’t think of a better way to do it. Considering I live in an apartment, drop ins and walks are what I’m better suited for, BUT I’m always willing to take on more pets for boarding or day care if pet parents are comfortable. I have multiple rooms to keep pets separate if needed.

11. James H.
“Patrick does a fantastic job! He house and cat sits for us several times a year. He cares about our cats. He sends us pictures and gives daily updates. I started asking how they were and he took the initative to send me updates after that, even how they were eating. He takes notes and confirms special instructions on our cats.. He remembers special instructions for future care dates. He leaves the house clean. Takes out the trash, does laundry (linens we leave out for him). He has a sense of humor. The cats don’t like strangers. He worked to gain their trust. He brought them treats. He is always courteous and respectful. Completely trustworthy. I can go on and on about his kindness, professionalism, and true compassion for animals. Patrick is a true gem!!! I recommend him with full confidence.”

About: I’ve had a love for dogs ever since I can remember. My baby of 14 years passed away last year and I miss him every day. Family, friends & coworkers always rely on me to care for their fur babies when they are away because they know how much I love and adore all pups. :) I am working part-time and going to school, so weekends would be ideal for me to take care of your fur babies, or I can be available after 5PM on weekdays. I live in a rural area and have a huge yard for a dog/dogs to play in. I can crate them if needed as well.
