About: I have lived dog with multiple dogs my whole life. I have 5 years of experience in the veterinary world that has broadened my horizon to the variety of breeds out there and the different requirements they need. I also specialize in medicating our furry friends in the most stress-free way possible. I have experience training my own service dog from 8 weeks old to present and continue to keep his training up to date. I also specialize in hospice care for our are geriatric puppies, because no matter how old they are, they are always puppies to us. I am currently pet sitting for people Part-Time. my goal is to make caring for animals my full-time job. While I continuemaking commissioned pet portraits! Along with other commissions for various prints and paintings. At my house, dogs will eat separately from other dogs for safety and have long line leash walks for potty breaks. If a pet is known to have toy aggression, toys will be taken out of the equation. I do have a service dog that comes with me everywhere including my clients homes. If a client 's pet is dog aggressive or the cats are scared of dog, I will not have my service dog interact with them to give comfort and safety for all.

About: Dogs bring so much joy and purpose to my life, I genuinely love spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for over 15 years, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra TLC. As a dog mom to both a Miniature Schnauzer and a Great Dane, I’m confident handling everything from tiny paws to big personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m happy to work on leash and obedience training and love engaging dogs in mentally stimulating games that keep their minds sharp and tails wagging. Whether your pup needs calm companionship or an active play buddy, I’ll show up with patience, care, and lots of love. I work from home part time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pup! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekday care. Because I’m home all day, your dog will have lots of love, attention, and playtime. I enjoy keeping dogs on a consistent routine with regular walks, meals, and play.. structure helps them feel safe and happy! Although my yard isn’t fenced, I always keep dogs leashed during outdoor time to ensure their safety. Inside, my home is spacious and perfect for supervised play and lounging. I live with two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having guests around. I’m comfortable crating dogs if needed and will always follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel at home. I prioritize structure, predictability, and lots of affection to make sure every dog in my care feels secure and loved.

I also take in my best friend's older pit bull, Cookie, and her and Maverick get along wonderfully! There's plenty of space to walk dogs around my apartment community, along with a fenced in tennis court area where they can run free!

About: Hello, I’m Max! I’d love to care for your fur babies. I have experience with a wide variety of animals. I currently own a one year old Red-Nose Pitbull and been working with him since he was a few weeks old. He’s one of the many dogs that I’ve trained throughout my life. I’d love to experience life’s opportunities with your Paw-some companion! I’m currently a Substitute Teacher for CCPS so during the summer I have full availability to care for your babies. During the school year I’m available weekends, with weekdays have a bit more of a limited schedule. I feel as though it’s best to not only physically stimulate animals, but also mentally. Whether it be going for walks, training, mental exercises, or something as simple as love, I’m committed to do it all.

About: Dogs have been in my world for 40+ years. I rescued Rotties for most of that time. Most Rescued Rotts come with major needs. I welcomed all. The last one couldn't walk without me for 6 years. No one else was allowed to take care of her . In last 2 years, I've been caring for friends retrievers while working (potty breaks and overnights) I work from home M-F running a business. Weekends are not available as those are show dates. Very flexible schedule, last minute drop off in needed. Bowls/dishes provided. Large backyard with a brand new 6 foot wooden fence. House is a rancher so no steps to be concerned with. Lots of play/activity time I need to fulfill my emptiness of putting my "Brandi" Down.

I have a large privacy fenced yard with plenty of run room for high energy and play time! We also have plenty of space in the house for the times we’re inside or weather is bad.
