19. Nayeli R.
About: I love going on walks i’m homeschooled so i am always available, i can insure that as ur pet is in my care they will be fed, looked after, as well as taken out to use the bathroom, (and or litter box) I am currently in online school, so that allows me to have lots of free time, i already like to fill that free time with going on walks so adding your fuzzy friend won’t be a problem! I have no dogs currently but have had and know how to properly care for a dog, i am responsible, trustworthy, and clean. I can be both active and chill depending on your fur baby’s needs and requirements.
20. Sai Suguna Lekha K.
About: I have a small dog at my home and he is a Shih tzu who is very social and fully vaccinated.I have been living with dogs for most of my lifetime, so you can be assured that your pet baby is in safe and caring hands. Also I will be working from Tue to Fri in the nights. - Boarding/ Day care service: You can get an extra free day if you do more than 5 days, you will be getting updates and pictures every now and then. You can also do a video call, once in a day. All the instructions will be followed according to your choice like feeding timings, playtime, whether they are allowed on furniture or not, etc and he/she will be getting attention all the time during their stay. I am working nights currently from Tue to Fri so I will have most of my days free. I can take them for walks just before leaving and then be back early in the morning. After I am home I can give them potty breaks every 3-4hours. I have a yard behind my apartment which is not fenced. So will have plenty of space to go around but only leashed. I will be with the pup all the time outside.
