About: I have had dogs all my life and can adhere to any type of dog I’m entrusted to care for! I’ve been designated caretaker with family friends’ pets and daily needs! I hope to have your trust! I currently work part-time, in the early morning to early afternoon, three days a week. I am free otherwise and am very detailed oriented to scheduling needs. I have a fenced in yard and am used to leash-required care. I can adjust to any crate care or handling needs in any environment.
About: As on site caretakers for a local humane society, my husband and I love dogs. We have three dogs of our own, all currently seniors (12 yr old Chesapeake Bay Retriever, 9 yr old lab/pit mix, and 8 yr old German Shepard). We are very familiar with dogs with medical needs as our Chessie has a thyroid condition that we've been managing since his first year of life and our German Shepard is constantly fighting ear issues. We are able to administer medications, and monthlies such as Flea and Tick preventives and have experience handling dogs recovering from heart worms. We have both a morning and evening routine not only for our personal dogs, but also the Humane Society dogs as well. Our goal is to maximize love, care and potty breaks. We have an extra tall security fenced in yard, ample land to walk pups, and our residence is far back from any potentially dangerous main road. We leash walk all dogs on site and only allow play groups with prior approval from owners.

But night time stays and anything after 6 is great ! I have a full fenced in backyard. If your dog is not an outside dog inside it’s just fine! I have one Shih Tzu that’s very nice and some cats that have their own room! I usually have my relatives feed them because they are home when I’m gone during the day but at night i'm all in !
About: I had a teacup poodle and he was my best friend, he would love taking baths, getting groomed, and play around with his toys, but unfortunately he passed away. After two months he died, my dad bought me a ferret and now she is my best friend. Some months ago I used to work at a grooming place, which I only worked there as a dog bather and a dryer, but I quite because it was an hour and a half hours away from my house. The grooming place is called puppy pals pets spa in Woodstock in AL. I’m currently working in my small business, my business is lawn care services. I have doing it for some two years now but right now the season of lawn care is probably going to be finished in two more months. But as a right now I can do a part time dog walk or a dog sitter. Where I live with my family we have space for our dogs to run around free and they do not run away to the road because they are trained. We give our animals food and water everyday in the morning and in the evening. My dad have three dogs and some chickens, I have a ferret, and my mom has one dog. But all three of us take care of all animals that we have.
