About: About Me I’ve been watching animals of all kinds for over 10 years. From chicken, ducks, and hedgehogs to cats and dogs and I love each and every one of them as my own. My Schedule I’m currently going back to school for nursing. Aside from classes/clinical a few hours a week I’m home full time. This allows me more time with your little love! *My clinicals are typically half days, so if there is a particular day I marked unavailable, please send me a message, we may be able to work something out.* My Home I live on 1.6 acres off of a private road. My backyard is completely fenced with plenty of trees and nature. This allows for a SAFE environment for your fur baby to run/exercise, play, and sniff for mental stimulation. What to Expect I treat all animals as my own and ensure play and exercise is part of our routine. Photos/videos and activity descriptions are sent to ensure you feel connected to your fur baby! I love animals more than people, and will ensure to treat your little love like royalty! I’m a nursing student so I have a pretty open schedule aside from classes! I have a VERY large fenced back yard and two very friendly doggos who love to play! All play is supervised and (because of my nursing background), I’ll check your babies frequently to ensure no fleas, ticks, etc.
