About: Started caring for pets since I was 10. Mostly dogs and cats along with some awesome rabbits. Neighbors, friends and family relied on me to walk, feed, play, administer medicine, clean liter boxes and give good lovin' to their beloved pets ! Lots of experience staying with pets in their home (sometimes for several weeks at a time) or coming to their home several times days for care. Realized that I was born with a natural rapport with animals. Grateful for this ability and nurtured these skills all my life. I'm currently applying for full-time work, so I'll have plenty of time (flexible hours) to love-up on your dearest dogs with walks, play and treats. Of course, belly rubs are included! Haven't had my own pet in awhile, but lived with housemates who have wonderful animal spirits (dogs, cats and bunnies) to brighten their lives and mine. When I've lived with pets, always check they have plenty of clean water and food and, depending on how they are housed, make sure they are safe in their crates or curled up in their favorite spots before I leave. Always make sure that I know where list of emergency contacts and vet info is located.
About: My animals have always been treated like a member of the family, and are even more spoiled than myself. I will always treat your pet like my own! I work from home so I am available to do daily tasks in between answering emails, phone calls, etc. Pet care comes first before anything! Having a high energy breed myself, I am always striving to make my day fit around my dog. I will meet the needs of your pet based on their energy level and their health.
About: Hi! I am just a college student about to graduate with a lot of time on my hands. I have had dogs my entire life. I am confident and comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, giving meds to dogs. I am a college student about to graduate in a month. My class schedule is really open and flexible and I’m ready to help you and your fur baby. I have had dogs my entire life. I’m comfortable, confident, responsible, reliable, and kind. The safety of your animal comes first as long as they’re happy and safe that’s all that matters to me.
About: I have always had a big heart for pets. This includes cats and dogs. I enjoy being around them, feeding them, and cleaning after them. I work full time for a nonprofit, but have flexibility. I’m mostly available on Fridays-Mondays. I currently care for doggies and cats in my own home. My doggy is on a feeding schedule and get regular walks. He enjoys playing tug-a-war with me and enjoys having me the one to fetch his toys. I easily get along with animals and enjoy playing and exercising them.
About: Animals have always been a passion of mine. I would most definitely take care of your dog or cat as if it were my own. Ive taken care of dogs with disabilities for example my mom’s shih tzu has a bad back and cant walk well. And ive taken care of large breeds such as great danes and golden doodles. I love animals i think they are so much fun to be around and their spirit just leaves you so happy. I have 3 dogs and 2 reptiles in the home. But on top of being good with animals i also am excellent with people i have been a manager trainer. And spokesperson for many of my jobs. I look forward to getting time to spend with your furry friend in the hopefully near future. I work a full time job as a caregiver for seniors but it's a standard 9-5 job so I am only gone 8 hours at a time. And home when I am off I don't go out much. I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs and 2 reptiles. Everyone is friendly and all our own dogs are crated if not home.
About: As long as I can remember growing up we always had animals mostly dogs. As I got older I have always been the one my friends and family come to when they need someone to care for their pets. I would pet sit, take them on walks , stay with them and play with them. I am a true dog lover through and through. I have had dogs my whole life . My son has 5 dogs and pretty much everyone I know is a pet lover so no matter where I go I’m around animals. I watch dogs for friends and my son often. I can take them to the dog park to run and play with other dogs. We can go on walks and play in the yard.
