“I have one cat, 2 Siberian Huskies and 1 quirky Norwegian Elkhound. At the last minute, I found Harley to the rescue. She did a meet and greet; she is an absolute sweetheart. My boys loved her. She even had Odi, my quirky Elkhound, giving her the love. Harley came to my home 4 times a day for check ins and breakfast and supper. Without reservation I can recommend Harley, my 4 pack of boys is not an easy one. I will definitely book Harley again in February.”
About: I've cared for pets at a boarding facility and have even assisted with grooming and walking at a shelter for some time. It's a pleasure to provide the best care for my clients beloved pets! I have full availability weekdays and weekends! I have lots of time for walks, care and playtime. I also will be available to take dogs to the nearby dog park upon request. I have decent sized front & backyard. I have 4 friendly cats. I also have an older female dog who is spayed and well behaved. She can be kept separated from other pets, but is not typically aggressive toward cats or other dogs.
“Alec and Buddha did a great job taking care of our babies while we were gone. I felt completely comfortable having them at the house alone knowing he was going to be there twice a day to play with them and feed them. I never had to worry that they were in good hands. Alec was reliable and went above and beyond to even report on packages being delivered, etc. I will definitely use him again!”
About: Have much patience as I helped raise litters of puppies from 17 on, experience with IVDD (intervertebral disk disease) paralyzed, expressing bladders, dog grooming assistant for 2 yrs, cancer/kidney failure, comfort cares, giving meds, behavior/aggression issues and more :) Currently work another part time flexible job.
