5. Hallie G.
About: I have 5 dogs of my own, I am experienced in training dogs to sit, and know what needs to be done to meet their needs. Additionally showing them love is a part of caretaking too! I am available anytime in the mornings and generally before 2 Mon-Sat. On Sundays and Wednesdays I'm available all day. I can be flexible so if these don't meet your needs let me know! I know how to train dogs to sit, use the bathroom outside, and walk on leash. I also can train dogs to be off leash. I like to feed at the same time everyday and allow for time for my pets to stretch their legs outside and play.

About: I currently do not have any dogs but love them all! I also have a basement with a separate gate if your animal needs space but doesn’t want to be crated. I work from home and love my animals!! I lost my dog over a year ago and would love to care for more animals than my horses and pig! I own a small farm with plenty of space for walking and also have a fenced in garden than I can use during the colder months for secure play for dogs.
