About: Ever since I was a little girl I’ve loved animals. I think fur babies are the sweetest thing because although they’re only with you for a little of their lives, you’re with them for all of theirs. I currently have a Shih Tzu & tuxedo cat of my own named Marble who are big babies. I currently work remotely Monday-Thursday 8:30 AM-4:30 PM so I’ll be home just about the whole day with your furry ones! Potty breaks, walks, and movie nights here won’t be a problem! I have a large yard next to my house so potty breaks won’t be a problem. Also I have an adult fixed Shih Tzu that loves naps, belly rubs, and playing to keep your fur one company!
About: I have 2 dogs of my own, so I know all the necessities a dog needs. I’ve had dogs since I was young and I have experience with big and little dogs. I am currently a senior in Highschool and have a full schedule (for this semester). I am available anytime after school hours (3:06). I currently work on weekends at The Children’s Museum. I am also available after 4:30 on weekends! I have no after-school curricular’s. I feed my dogs daily and constantly. I know just how much care a dog’s needs. I absolutely love dogs and am happy to take care and love yours!
About: I build relationships with the pets and owners. I pay attention to the small details, like routines, quirks, treat time, and belly rubs. I try my best to make all pets feel special and comfortable while their owners are away My schedule can vary week to week since my work isn’t always consistent, but I’d be happy to check in with you about your dates and see if it’s something I can commit to Since I have two dogs of my own, I usually offer pet care at the owner’s home. It tends to be less stressful for your pet and keeps things simpler on my end too

About: Since around age 9, I have taken care of all animals.. I lived on a farm most of my life and had responsibility for all of the animals. I currently have a puppy of my own! I’m an animal lover and would love to care for any pets! I’m currently full time in college. During breaks between semesters I work full time as a financial intern. I get an hour for lunch every day and I’m off weekends. I get off of work at 5. Currently, my puppy stays in his kennel and gets let out any time I’m home. He gets trained daily and gets let out frequently. I plan to do the same and provide for whatever needs come my way with other pets.
