About: With 15+ years of pet care experience you can be sure your four legged friends are in capable hands! I am available to walk dogs and do drop-in visits for cats and/or dogs. I'm happy to get some exercise and face time with your buddy as well as to administer any medication or special food they need. They'll be treated how I would want someone to treat my fur buddies Candi (my 7 y.o. rescue staffy with anxiety) and Barbara (my 5 y.o. rescue cat with FIV). I recently took a severance at my full time job and am looking to have a flexible schedule until after the birth of my firstborn in the fall. I will provide good, long walks for your buddy. If you need drop-in services I can feed them, give them medication and spend some hang time according to their needs and your preferences.

“Got back to me super quickly on short notice, took my Ophie got a wonderful walk (and took the cutest pictures ?). Will definitely be asking for help from Mary Grace again! ??”
About: I have grown up always having a houseful of animals. This included cats and dogs as well as small rodents (mice, hamster,ect) and livestock. Now I have two dogs, two cats, and a hedgehog. I have owned my dogs for 13 years and the cats became part of the family a couple of years ago. My experience with animals ranges from daily care needs to caring for an animal with other needs. I am also patient with animals that are still learning or have slight behavioral issues. Currently, I am a full time student completing my degree online. I have open avalibility for your pet care needs. I am even open to a "daycare" situation. I have two dogs and two cats at my own home. The cats have their own space if needed and my dogs would love to have a friend to play with. I also have plenty of room to give any animal alone space if needed. I have a fenced yard and live walking distance to a park. I am open to board your furbabies while you are at work during the day or overnight if needed. If you prefer your babies stay at home I can offer potty breaks and walks during the day. I understand the struggle of finding good care for furbabies when you have a demanding schedule! I am open to services that work for you!
About: Hi there! I've had pets of all kinds my entire life, so I'm very comfortable with all sorts of animals. My mom and I began fostering dogs for a rescue when I was very young so I've also been handling big groups of dogs of all ages for most of my life. My mom runs a local dog rescue and offers training, so she's definitely honed my dog handling skills quite a bit. I love dogs of all sizes, especially big dogs! My own dog at home is not very energetic, so I would love to play with some more active dogs as well. My schedule can be pretty flexible and I'm often on-the-go. Please let me know if there's any special accommodations your pet needs. I'm looking forward to hearing from you! I currently work two part-time jobs with flexible schedules and relatively short shifts, so I'm able to care for pets easily around my daily schedule. I have experience with dogs with a wide variety of temperaments and needs, so I'm able to cater my approach to each individual pet. I'm big on respecting dogs' boundaries, especially in their own spaces, because my own dog is very shy.
About: I love all dogs big and small . I will keep them busy and have tons of fun. I’m a high energy person and animal lover. I’ve owned 4 dogs and currently have a Great Dane mix.

I look forward to making new friends with your furbabies. I am Currently a strength and conditioning coach and have a lot of time due to it being the summer. Most of my athletes went home for the summer. I have A wooden fenced in yard. I also Am always in the yard and being attentive. There is a park near my house also.
About: I have a tendency to treat all animals as my own, and give them the utmost love and care. Not only do animals benefit from my care, but what I get back in return from animals is just as important. I grew up constantly being around pets, and grew up with dogs. I raised two dogs on my own and they now live with my parents so I currently have no pets, which has left a little hole in my heart! I have a loving home on the third floor of apartment building, where there is much room to play and lounge. I have a fenced-in backyard where there is even more room for fun. There are many areas we can go for walks, and also a dog park just down the street. I am also working from home so have a lot of time to devote to dogs.

First off she is a loving mother to a fantastic daughter, where she does everything in her abilities to make sure she well provided for.

She is always volunteering to help with our parents dogs, helping me take care of my cats, babysitting her friends dogs, and always wants to adopt one that is in need of a good home.
