I had a dog for over 15years she was the best friend ever! She was my first "baby" so I totally understand the treating your pets like people! I do extra stuff for caring for animals making sure they feel comfortable and enjoy themselves. I have two kids who want another dog so bad so they love having animals over!! I have watched a lot of family's animals and that's what made me think of a job like this and googled it and BAM here it is!!!!! Perfect! I will not let you down or your animal. For one experience a dog got in lake and wasn't okay with it at all so I jumped in clothes and all and got her out of the water. I know how to trim dogs and cats nails and as long as you have them with some sort of frontline so I don't get flees in my home I'm happy! We will take walks few times a day. I don't mind animals in my home at all but I will keep them off furniture just for shedding purposes and having two little kids besides that no limits!!!! Can't wait to meet yours!!! I do charge additional for gas which if it’s closed to me within 5 miles no Extra charge anything over 5miles $10 per visit.
