About: I have over 20 years in dog sitting experience. I love all animals and promise to spoil and love your animals. I find it easier on the animals for me to stay with them in the environment they are used to. However, I am not opposed to letting your animals move into my home either. I am very responsible and can provide references upon request. I promise to take care of your pets as if they were my very own. When you leave your pets with me you can be at ease knowing I will give them the love they deserve. I promise to send pictures of your animals while you are away to ensure they are being taking good care of. I hope you will let me come spoil your pets.

About: I’ve had a deep love for dogs ever since I was a little girl, and that passion has only grown over the years. Whether big or small, I have developed a strong sense of patience and dedication when it comes to caring for our furry companions. Friends and family alike trust me with their pets, knowing they’ll receive the attention and care they deserve when they need a helping hand. I understand that we all need a break or an extra set of hands from time to time, and I’m here to offer support to both you and your beloved pets. I am available Monday through Thursday, from 8 AM to 5 PM, and currently have additional availability over the next couple of months. I am eager to keep myself busy during this time by providing dedicated care for furry friends. If you’re in need of reliable and compassionate support for your pets, I’d be happy to help! I have to pets of my own and a fenced back yard. If needed I can keep your pet in a crate :) Thank you!

About: Apart from having worked for a local shelter for about 6 months, I've spent the last year and a half within veterinary emergency medicine and am well informed and familiar in canine and feline care. This includes basic care ( walking, feeding ) to medications and senior care, or even care for puppies/kittens. I'm always more than happy to make sure your pets are happy, healthy, clean and well taken care of <3 Currently I am working full time, but I am normally available for pet care on Mondays and Tuesday ( depending ) and alternating weekends. Sometimes I may also be available in the late mornings Wednesday thru Friday, though this is dependent. I will tend to stick to routines that owners may already have, including feeding, walking and medication schedules. This includes if certain pets may need more space or extra care and attention.
