I’ve had pets my entire life. When I turned 18 I adopted my Frodo, a fox hound who lived to be 19. I cared for him through his old age and had to carry him up & down the stairs for the last few years of his life as he had degenerative disk disease. I adopted Chelsea, a beagle mix, whom my kids are jealous of because they claim I love her more than them. Chelsea was a rescue so she needed extensive training which I researched and did myself. She is good with cats as she will play with them or leave them alone if they’re uninterested. I will treat your baby as I do my Chelsea. We go regularly to the dog park aside from playing in our own back yard. Your pet will be safe, happy and loved while you are away and you will be updated at least once every 4 hours with pictures I am a teacher so I am free to be home with your pet all day long during the summer and school vacations. Aside from that I am free all weekends and evenings. During our time together your dog will have walks as often as you request at drop off, will be taken to the dog park at least every other day if so desired, will be fed according to your schedule, and will be cuddled as much as your pup wants. For cats, I tailor my care to the individual cat based on your requests. I have one cat that prefers to be outdoors except when she’s sleeping and one dog who has the run of the house. I live in a 3 bedroom townhouse with a back yard that is partially fenced (open to the neighbors yards). Your baby can have the run of my house or can crate if that’s what you normally do. My goal is to keep your pets routine as normal as possible while you are gone so my care will be tailored to your requests.
