About: Ive been around dogs ever since I can remember, I’ve always been very loving, patient, and respectful of the dogs boundaries. Most dog I’ve owned have been raised since they were a puppy so I can also handle dealing with pets that may require a bit more training or care. As well as I’ve been around dogs who have come from abusive situations and I am aware of the difficulty of those situations. I never yell at the dogs I always try to guide them with praise, rewards, and let them move at the pace they are comfortable at. I currently work part time with morning college classes so I have a good amount of time to walk or check in on the pets. I have a screened in lanai, a four friendly dogs, and live in a gated community to provide safety and and enjoyable stay in the home.
About: Ever since I was a child, I have always had a dog, and/or cat. I have cared for friends, neighbors and family member’s dogs. This has included administering medications, either by mouth or shots, bathing, feeding, walking/running and cleaning up any messes they may have left behind. I have also spent the night at homes or brought their dogs to my house to watch. In my experience, I have found that watching a dog in their own home is less stressful than bringing them to an unknown home. I currently work full time 3 days a week and my schedule varies. I have some flexibility and on those days I would like to walk your dog. I prefer to walk your dog from your home. If your dog requires more care, then I would be happy to work out special care when needed.
About: I've taken care of my aunt's dogs since I was about 8, walking and feeding them when needed.

I also have volunteer experience at Wash n Wag, where I bathed and clipped multiple dogs nails. I got a rabbit and gecko 3 years ago and I am still taking care of them till this day. I would love to take care of your pet also! I am not working at the moment so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pet and give him/her my full attention! I am available anytime on weekends and weekdays! When I walk dogs I let them lead the way, safely of course. They would never be left unattended and would get all of my attention on whatever they need/want! I would love to play with your dog (outside or inside depending on your preference), take them out for a potty break, feed and change water if needed and make them the happiest dog ever!
About: I have taken care of dogs since I can remember! They bring me so much happiness. I know the importance of walks, feeding, and playtime. I am self employed which gives me the freedom to also work around your schedule! I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I have experience putting pups back into their crates. If a pup doesn’t go into a crate, I make sure there is nothing on the floor / counter that they could get into to hurt themselves. Make sure the doors are closed, etc. I am respectful of your space and will follow your specific directions for your pet! Like people, all pups are different!!
