Highlights
Pet care experience
I love animals more than anything.
I have been around schnauzers, and countless other breeds and animals, my entire life. I've raised, cared for, and helped care for one large dog, 5 miniature schnauzers, a cat, a bearded dragon, fish. My first dog was mine at birth. My first attempt to care for an animal was a baby rabbit in the 10th grade, 20 years ago. Sadly, that did not end well. I have helped raise 2 cousins, 3 nephews, 1 niece, and one I consider a niece. I helped care for my grandpa for 6 months in 2011, when he got dementia, and my other grandma, from 2019-2021, also with dementia. I house sat a cat for a week a few years ago. I am allergic to unclean cats, possibly longhair dogs and cats. I've owned 3 dogs, some fish, and recently brought my niece's bearded dragon back to health. I just love animals so much, and would do everything in my power to keep them healthy, safe, and happy.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Fred took thoughtful care of Bella! She was very happy to return to his home for a 2nd day of care. Would be very happy to work with him again if the need arose and would also recommend him to others!
Another excellent job by Fred. He notified about a problem with Wooly Bear's eyes, and I'll be making a vet appt. for her.
Another excellent job looking after my cats. Many photos. Knowing that I would be returning in the evening, he turned on a couple lights in the house.
Fred did an excellent job. He made friends with three of my cats. I would not hesitate to request his services in the future.

Schedule
I have an open schedule to be able to do whatever is needed of me, with just other self employment things I can easily schedule around petcare needs.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have an open yard, with a chain, leashes, a food dish, and a lot of dog toys. I do prefer walks, or outside bonding time while on the chain. Treats after coming in are a necessity.
A typical day
With dogs, a walk in the park, playing with toys in the house or in the yard, or occasionally going for a leashed run down our mostly quiet road, ever vigilant of traffic of course, and a good bath if we get into weeds or mud. With cats, petting and toys.
