Flexible Sched to Care for Furbabes

**ATTN: All dogs must be microchipped. Drop-offs and pick-ups for boarding are after 9:30 am. I have grown up with dogs since I was 8 years old. I volunteered at Operation Kindness when I lived in Dallas, and have at Austin Pets Alive!, Austin Humane Society, and Austin Animal Center while living here. I want to open an animal sanctuary someday. Dogs tend to gravitate towards me. I mostly work from home (I do work a part-time job at a restaurant, though, so sometimes I'm on shift for about 6 hours), and have flexible time to care for your furbabies, however calmer dogs are preferred since I do have to be on Zoom calls. I used to hate that my dog, Maverick, was cooped up all day by himself when I worked a day job, so I want to be able to give your dog love and activity. Maverick is in the pictures, but unfortunately passed away in January. I only accept 1 family's pets at a time.
