About: I’m a lifelong animal owner and “farm girl” with experience owning and working with dogs, cats, small animals, livestock, and even exotics. I previously worked as a small and large animal veterinary nurse. I am a full time teacher available early mornings and evenings on weekdays with more daytime flexibility during breaks and summer months. During the school year I am limited to before and after school hours. I care for your animal as if they were my own! I am attentive to your animal’s needs and will make sure to do things “your way” in order to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible!

6. Chasity P.
About: I'm a very energetic person so I will always play with the pets and I'm always making sure they are well looked after. I have taken care of plenty of pets aging from young puppies and kittens to older. When taking care of cats I have plenty of toys and things for them to climb on. I have also taken care of pets that have special needs. Like diabetics and other things. I know how to give medications oral and in shot form. Special skills would be probably that I can keep up with any animal and I love all of them. They put a smile on my face. And I love seeing owners with the same smiles. It warms my heart every day. ? I'm usually free most of the day and love cuddles and walking with the pups and kitties. So scheduling will be easy and always available. I have a fenced in yard and a dog and cat that love others. We can play and go for walks. Also tons of activities to do.
