About: I absolutely love dogs! My family dog passed away when she was still a puppy, a beautiful husky named Belle. In her honor I make sure to give all the love and protection to dogs that little me couldn’t provide. I promise you, your fur babies will be so loved, cared for and protected while they are with me! I am an elementary school lunch aide during the school year, so I am only out at least three hours a weekday. I don’t have this job during the summer so my schedule is more flexible! I have a yard perfect for your fur baby to run around in, and the elementary school I work at is right down the street so we can get some great walks in and play on the field (only if you’re okay with it of course)! I will need a list of what you’d prefer for your fur baby and for you to bring their essentials for food, play, and sleep. I want to disrupt their schedule as little as possible so just tell me what I need to do and your wish is my command! The more details the better!
