Your dog and I will have a blast!!

Pet care experience

I’m a dog lover/young professional who’s looking to spend time caring for the animal I love most. I’ve owned dogs my whole life and have worked at a rescue shelter so I am able to handle all types of dogs. I currently have a chocolate lab mix named Ellie who I’ve raised since she was a puppy. I’ve helped train her as well so I can assist in basic training if needed. I work 2:30-11:30 and my office is next to home so I will be there for your dog when you are busy. I am gentle with all types of dogs and understand their wants and needs and how to handle them. I am the perfect match for you and your fur baby.

We feel very confident that Ford made a very strong effort to care for our difficult dog Rambo. He sent us pictures and updates each day and texted us with any questions and concerns. It is obvious to me that he loves animals and truly cares about their well-being. My husband and I plan to use him again for our animals on a as needed basis. We would recommend Ford to other pet owners that want to feel confident that their fur babies are being well cared for while they are away!

From high school friends to college roommates, I know Ford pretty well. Back in high school, he got a chocolate lab mix named Ellie, and now that we’re in college, I don’t think Ford has gone a single day without talking about how much he misses his “puppers.” Ford loves dogs and he loves caring for them, and I’m confident that he would shower any dog he takes care of with love and attention, even though it’s not his own. He’s spent time volunteering at the Williamson county animal rescue, so he even knows how to work with dogs that may be shy or nervous around strangers. I, myself being a prevet student and dog sitter, can testify that Ford would 100% be a responsible and loving caregiver for your dog.

Ford loves all dogs and is great working with them. During high school, he volunteered with the Williamson County Humane Society and most often cared for dogs by grooming, walking and playing with them. When he comes home to visit from college ... it's to see his beloved Australian Cattle Hound Ellie (even if he pretends to be happy to see his family, as well!). He has great customer service skills and is friendly and reliable.

A typical day

One of my favorite things is to allow dogs to have a chance to run and play so with your permission if they are socialized with other dogs, giving them the chance to go to a dog park is great!
