About: With dogs, I helped get them that exercise that they need while having fun! I’m here to help any big or small animals be happy!! I’m currently working at part-time during the summer so most of my mornings are off if your dog or cat needs a simple walk in the morning or a simple run. I have no pets on my own, but I always enjoy taking dogs on long walks or runs in the field all around my apartment
About: As a lifelong animal lover with a hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even reptiles! I bring patience, reliability, and affection to every pet I care for. I have experience with puppy training, administering medications, and supporting senior pets with special needs. I’m working part time right now so that leaves me with plenty of available time to go and care for your pets! I got easy access to transportation too! I have plenty experience with stubborn dogs, with having to raise my own two dogs since they were bottle feeding. I can easily manage all the necessities for the bubbies, things like feedings, walks, medication, cleanups, and everything else!

About: I have taken care of my family’s pets as well as friends and neighbors pets for most of my life because of how much I love animals. I worked in a pet grooming salon for a few years and besides leaning the skills of grooming pets, I also learned to treat their owners with the same amount of care. I am a college student heading into my summer vacation, and would love to spend more time with some furry friends. I am available any day and time of the week. I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I always have doggy treats on me in case I meet a friendly pup and I love playing with toys or just cuddling if that is what they enjoy. I have two dogs at home, both are small, one enjoys cuddling and never plays with toys, and the other loves cuddling, but would much rather chase toys that I throw for him.
