About: I grew up showing great danes in 4h. I have over 10 years working with a certified animal behaviorist and am certified as a trainer through him. I'm working part time over the summer as I'm home from college and would love to make this my full time deal! I work at farmer's markets Saturday and Sunday but am fully available Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Weekend afternoons are also open for fury fun! I take animal health and wellbeing seriously. If you have specific requirements for your friend, I am more than happy to oblige. Getting every animal the care it needs is my #1.

I understand the stress of worrying about your pet while on vacation ;) I would like to go above and beyond caring for your pet. with my veterinary clinic experience, I would be able to identify problems quickly.
About: I have owned a dog for as long as I can remember. I’ve had numerous breeds of dogs over my lifetime. I’m new to being a cat owner as I have had a fear of cats since I was a kid. I do work full-time so I would primarily be available on weekends. I could pet sit during the week in the evenings after 5 pm. I have a very large open yard. I prefer to leash a dog and walk them around my yard until they become familiar with it since it’s not fenced in. I have two small dogs that I share custody of but they are friendly and my roommate has a cat that will probably hide while your animal is there lol! My neighbors have a dog but she is in a big dog run. I’m open to pet sitting at my house or your house whichever you and your pet are more comfortable with!
About: I have a 2 year old Border Collie that I take care of myself, plus other friends and families dogs over the years. I love to let my Border Collie Echo get Enrigue time outdoors as possible to play and let out energy. I work Mondays through Friday’s, I al able to attend to them during the mornings, at lunch, and at night. As well with my weekends off, they will have the luxury with being with me all the time playing outside or inside. I care with love and attention. To make sure everyone is treated with safety. As well, make sure everything is put up and off the floors to make sure each dog can have a safe environment to run and play around in. As well, taking dogs on walks with a leash to make sure they are keeping safe distance from other people and animals that may set the dog off.
