I work part time so i have plenty of time to cater to your animal's needs. However i still work, so a pet with separation anxiety may not work out. I provide 24hr care for a different rate

They Can't Keep Their Paws Off Me

Pet care experience

Extremely energetic and loving, I find myself drawn to all animals. It is a pleasure to care for anyone's pet, as I held mine very dear to me. I want to provide comfort for a pet owner, that their beloved pet is in good hands. I rescued my dog, Phoenix on a road trip 15 years ago. I found her in the desert in Arizona; someone just left her there with no collar or microchip. I did not have the financial stability (at the time) to own a dog but I made it work and I am so glad I did, since she was the best companion. In addition to caring for my own animal, I have raised a pack of puppies (including birthing, potty training, feeding, walking) that were born a few years back. I have references if need be. I have experience administering medications to animals, orally or injections and LOVE SENIOR DOGS Why I love dog sitting Since the beginning of my time. I begged my mom to get a dog for my 5th birthday and never looked back. I've volunteered to care for animals and even did an animal PSA to gain supplies and money for a shelter.
