9. Dante & Quincy J.
About: We have been fur parents to multiple fur babies both individually and together. I am currently a bather, and for the past two years I have bathed (and nails) dogs off all sizes and ages. We treat each dog like our own, creating an environment that is warm and inviting for them to stay, play, and feel comfortable. While I do work during the week, my partner works from home, so we work together to make sure that the pets are cared for around the clock. Usually I do mornings before work, and he does during the day and evening while I work, and then we work together during the night. We have a fully fenced in yard for the safety of the pets, as well as multiple sized crates to fit any size dog. . We also have 2 friendly pets of our own. Multiple dogs have visited and stayed in our home, and our dogs get along great with others. For dogs who are not as social, we will provide individual play for them as well.

He absolutely loves her and cuddles with her all the time. In addition, I’ve seen how she took care of her family’s two great danes, Titan and Mackenzie. She can handle large dogs like a champ and is very intuitive to their needs.”

About: My parents bred bulldogs since I was 9, I help with all puppy care from infancy to 8 weeks. I've had 3 dogs all my life and now I live with 4 cats. I am well skilled in caring for cats and dogs alike. For 6 months in my college town I worked at a dog park and managed a good atmosphere with 50+ dogs in the park at a time, I will be returning to said dog park when the new University semester starts. I go to school for nursing, with classes during the day i can still make time for your dogs! I work a job a a dog park with flexible, short shifts that also make it very easy for me to find time to walk or check up on your pups! I prefer my animals to be in my sight at all times, with all human food completely away. I also prefer to accompany my pets outside when using the restroom, especially in the hot months of the year.
19. Samantha S.

“Salís did an amazing job with my pup, Diesel! He loved his one-on-one time and all the attention. Salís even provided water for my pup- which I appreciate a ton! Thanks!”
