About: Hi! I have had 2 family dogs and I currently own 2 cats. I have worked at a dog kennel and done a couple internships at vets. I can work with any type of animal of any age. I plan to have a full time job but can check in on your babies as needed. I am also willing to stay overnight if necessary. I can drive to client’s homes. I can feed, medicate, walk, scoop litter boxes, and anything else needed. I prefer to go to client’s homes rather than take them home.

About: I've had dogs of all sizes my whole life. From a Yorkie to a 180 pound Saint Bernard! I have taken some basic dog handling care classes and even work in the local shelter with the cats. I'm currently working full time, so I would show up in the morning to check on the animal, during my lunch break if I can, and once I'm off work I would show up as well. Every visit with the animal, I check their eyes, nose, and ears to make sure they aren't getting sick and I also take the morning to care for their food and water needs.
