I have grown up with dogs and have always had dogs my whole life. I have an 8 year old Shih tzu named Skeeter whom I have raised since he was 2 months old. I also have a cat named Lucky and a black-headed caique named Bandit. I love animals and I enjoy taking care of them, loving them, playing with them and taking them for nice walks so they can not only do their business but also get exercise and fresh air. I have been caring for my fellow neighbors' dogs for over 10 years and for my parent's dogs; a standard poodle named Frankie and Shih tzu named Skipper. I also have experience distributing medicine and eye drops. I believe all animals deserve love and compassion and it brings me great joy to be able to provide that for them. To me, they are part of the family and they deserve the quality of attention that shows them that they matter and that they are loved and cared for, I can promise you that if you choose me to watch over your dog(s), cat(s) and/or bird(s) while you are away, that they will be in the best of care and will receive the same love and attention that you provide to them on a daily basis. My promise and guarantee to you and your pet(s): I promise to love them. I promise to provide them with enjoyable and relaxing walks. I promise to play with them. I promise to give them tons of affection and attention. I promise to send you pictures and videos of your pet(s) to brighten your day. I promise to care for them as if they were my own. I have a huge heart and it brings me great joy to be able to tend to your pet while you are gone, while providing you with the peace of mind that they are in the best of hands and care. $3 surcharge for travel distance over 5 miles.
