Pet care experience

Full time dog caregiver

I am very flexible. I really care for dogs and I can be very committed to the job. I have been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember, so you know that I am experienced. I have taken care of multiple dogs at once, dogs of all sorts of breeds. I am always available when needed. I have two dogs of my own who I am very passionate about and care deeply. I will care and love your dogs as if they were my own, that way you know they are in good hands. I can play with them. Take them for walks. I will do anything that would make them the happiest dogs. I don't just do it to get paid but also for the joy of it.

Shout out to Nelson who took care of my dog three days/week for the whole semester! He's so dependable and excellent at what he does. I appreciate that he stays in regular contact and communicates clearly. Very grateful to him!

Nelson was great, as always. He helped us when we desperately needed doggy care over the first part of Spring Break and our kennel was full. He was very understanding when we were delayed getting back because of a blizzard! Indy was happy and well cared for. Will definitely use Nelson again!
