About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs from around ten years of age, in that time I’ve cared for pets of friends, families, and neighbors, and I’m looking to expand who I can help, and assist with providing piece of mind to pet owners where I can. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and have experience with caring for, owning, and fostering cats and kittens Unfortunately due to my living situation I’m unable to have pets of my own right now, so I’ve got a bunch of extra love to give to yours. I’m currently taking online college courses, so I have ample time to help provide the attention and affection that your pet deserves. This leaves my schedule very open, and I am able to be very flexible with providing pet care. I have full and complete respect for clients property and homes. I understand that it can be frightening to let someone into your home and care for something you love so much, and I do everything I can to ensure that both pet and owner are comfortable.

About: My first pet was an adorable yellow Labrador named Buddy. He grew my love for animals and I have always had a pet since! I rescued my first cat, Patches, 16 years ago when he stumbled onto our front porch. He is an indoor/outdoor cat and is a senior cat, so I have a wide range of experience with all kinds of pet care needs. My second cat, Finn, who is 9 years old required daily medicine, so I can attend to a wide variety of pet care needs. I am flexible and willing to work with you to find the best solution for your lovely pet! I’m currently working full-time from 8-5, with a one hour lunch break I can take anytime. I work from home on Tuesdays, so I am available all day. I am available any night for overnight stays and I am happy to discuss my schedule with you to see how I can help meet your needs. I have two friendly cats that get along with all kinds of fur babies. I can crate your dog, let them outside in your yard, or meet any other at-home care requirements you have.

About: I have had my dog since I was 8 yrs old I am 18 now and I’ve trained her to do almost anything. I am very patient with animals I let them get used to me and comfortable before I do anything.

The other job is part time on either Mondays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays. My work schedule isn’t set permanently so I get most weekdays off.
