About My Services: I have cared for a number of pets, including temporary foster care of a disabled 10 month old puppy. I am apt at administering medication to dogs and cats alike. I am home most of the time, and when I am not home my spouse of 5 years will be. He is also a pet care taker on this site and has years of pet caring experience in his belt. We live in a gated apartment complex with a large fenced yard behind it where we take our dog to play fetch and stretch his legs. He is a very high energy dog so we frequent this patch of grass! We also enjoy going for walks at the parks in Tyler and hiking in Tyler state park. Our apartment is a decent sized two bedroom apartment, half of which is designated for pet care specifically. (A whole bathroom for bathing your dog!) We live next to UTTyler campus and enjoy exploring their nature walk and the surrounding neighborhoods. I am happy to help you train your pet with potty training, leash training, and learning new tricks. My rule is, positive reinforcement yields the best results when it comes to puppy training, and establishing a great trusting relationship can go a long way with simple commands like “sit”. About Me: Born a country girl, I have a childhood background of caring for a variety of pets. As a kid my parents had chickens, 6 horses, inside cats, and a few country dogs. We cared for the animals as a family and I grew to love the outdoors. My boyfriend and I , 20 & 22, care for our cats and dog. We love spoiling them by buying them plenty of treats and toys for entertainment - I highly recommend bark box for dog owners. Our favorite weekend activity is taking our 1 year old puppy hiking at Tyler state park. He loves kayaking as well! I pet sit for my mom on occasion, driving to her house to check on her dog, cats, and guinea pigs when she goes on work vacations. I also pet sat for my neighbor for week long periods of time when I was young. As your pet’s babysitter I can promise a healthy good time with plenty of exercise, and if you approve, my puppy as a playmate for your babies! You can meet him and my cats in my pets section on my page! I am happy to schedule meet and greets before any pet care is scheduled to ensure the comfort and safety of your dog in my care. In addition to all listed abilities I am very technologically adept and will happily send you cute photos of your pets all day long as they run and play, ensuring your peace of mind while they’re away.
