I grew up in a dog loving family and have had a dog my entire life. My first dog was Buster who passed away in 2010 at 15 years old (I was 13). We got our two Labrador retrievers, Baxter & Lily in 2011 when I was a freshmen in High school. This is when I learned how to take care of puppies. My sister and I trained them ourselves and love(d) them a whole lot!! When we went to college in 2015 Baxter and Lily stayed with my parents. Baxter boy passed away in 2019 due to a cancerous tumor. He was my absolute best friend and I was heart broken. Lily is still living her best life with my parents. They just moved to Florida and now Lily identifies as a “beach dog” ;) About 6 months after Baxter passed, my boyfriend and I decided we wanted to adopt a dog here in Chattanooga. That’s when we found Barley at the Humane society! We have had her 2.5 years now and she turns 3 years old in July! About 5 months after we adopted Barley, we decided she needed a sibling. That’s when we found our dog, Pepperoni, at the humane society. We just celebrated her 2 year “adopt-iversary”. I love my dogs more than anything and I will love yours the same. I understand the struggle of finding RELIABLE and trustworthy people to pet sit our babies. I will care for your fur babies just like I do with mine! I am currently in between jobs and have open availability. I am flexible and can pet sit anytime! I would love to get some regular weekday clients for consistency and then take weekend clients as needed. Since I am renting my house I am only able to come to your pets at your home for the time being! I am willing to go on walks, play in the yard with them, cuddle them, pet them, or leave them alone if that’s your pet’s style :) I know every pup has their own personality and I am willing to do whatever you prefer! *Update as of 06/08/22* Due to gas prices being at a high, I will add on $3 per visit for every 1 mile away you are from my house(after 5 miles). (I.e. if you live 8 miles from me, I will add on $9 per visit.) If you are within 5 miles of my house there will be no additional charge. I apologize for any trouble this may cause!
