I will also send you photos of your fur babies while you're having fun on your vacation. I know it can be quite nerve wracking to let someone else look after your pets, when they become family to you. I am always willing to do meet and greets prior to the time you need me, to make you and your animals feel more comfortable. I do live near a dog park, if approved by dog owner to take them there.

About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life, but I started caring for other people’s pets back in high school. It started off as a way to make extra cash and has turned into a way for me to help people and still get some furry friend attention. I consider myself to be fairly active so I do enjoy walking with the furry friends too! I don’t have a set schedule yet that I plan to tend to, but I do intend on making myself available as much as possible. I work every Tuesday and Thursday without question, and every other weekend. When I am not at work, I would like to make myself available for walks or watches! I personally do not tend to watch pets in my own home as I have 3 cats who do not play the best with others. I do have a reliable form of transportation and the utmost respect for other people’s dogs and homes. If I were to be granted the ability to care for your animals from the comfort of their own home, it usually is a win-win :)
