About: I’ve been around all sorts of animals for my whole life and have a passion for caring for them. My family used to have horses, goats, birds, turtles, hamsters, squirrels, dogs, and cats growing up. My mom has been breeding German Shepards consistently for about 5 years now. I’ve helped her raise numerous litters and have spent countless hours playing with puppies. We also have 9 dogs total, 8 being German Shepards and one little dog, so I am more than comfortable taking care of dogs and happy to do so. If I were to stay over to watch your animals I could provide care for them up until 9 in the morning and when I return home from work at around 3:30. That would be Monday through Friday and then I have complete availability on the weekends. A few of our dogs stay inside during the day and night. Then our other dogs each have their own kennels that are big enough to run around in. We crate them separately at night. We also have a big backyard that is fenced in, where they can roam around and play.

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was young. After getting my own dog at 15, my passion for looking after animals grew even stronger. From puppies to senior dogs, big or small, I’m experienced in providing the love and care your pet deserves. I am currently working full-time but looking to do some part-time work! I love animals so I thought this would be a perfect fit! I can do anytime in weekends and after 5 during the week! I am flexible though so feel free to reach out! I always keep a close watch on your dog while they're outside, ensuring they're safe and happy. I make sure they have fresh water, plenty of affection, and lots of playtime.

About: I have taken care of animals for a long time. My friends and family rely on me to feed, walk, give medicine, etc. their pets. I also have experience with caring for horses, fish, birds, reptiles not just dogs and cats. I have taken care of rabbits, mini pigs, guinea pigs as well. I am currently not working, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to taking care of your pets. I do attend college online, so there are a few hours I am busy. The benefit of me staying at the client's house is that their pet(s) will be more comfortable in a familiar surroundings. The pet(s) won't be stressed out by being in unfamiliar places and around unfamiliar animals.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life rangeing in all sizes. Of my four children, two are my dogs, so I know how important it is to make sure our fury family members feel safe and well cared for while we are away. I have a very flexible work schedule, so I can accommodate your dog's needs and maintain its normal daily schedule. To help alleviate any potential stress or concerns, I provide daily updates and photos of your dog. I've found this is the most reassuring way for you to know your dog is happy and safe. I prefer to meet with all parties prior to scheduled visits, so we can go over your dog's daily routine and to get to know each other, which will help make the transition of me being there, and you being away, easier for them.
