About: I've had dogs as pets since I've been a little girl so hand in hand. I've taken care of dogs since I've been a little girl. Every time my dad goes out of town. I watch the animals. I watch the neighbors dogs. Animals always love me because I treat them with the utmost respect and like my own children. I will make sure your dog uses the bathroom regularly. I will walk them if needed and I will show them lots of love so they will not even be sad while you are away. I can even take pictures with your dog and send you pictures and little updates in case you miss your little furry friend while you're on your trip. I love dogs so much and I've always wanted to make money doing something I love. That's why I have come to this app to work. Pet care fits in my daily and weekly routine.

We absolutely love pets! They are our babies and will treat yours the same way! Growing up, we have always had dogs in the household and I wouldn't see it any other way . I have dog sat for multiple families. They are always supervised when together and separated when we run an errand. I've never run into any issues - most of them love all of the socialization! It's so much fun!! I am a stay-at-home mom and will be home full-time taking care of your babies as well as mine! We have lots of love and snuggles to go around!

We also have a lot of dog toys here, so please try to resist bringing toys for your fur babies, I will worry they will get lost! ** My hours are approximately 6am-9pm. If you need to pick up or drop off later/earlier than that, we can discuss.** *if you refer someone to me and it ends in a completed stay, you will receive 1 free night stay for one of your dogs* I'm home full time so we will mostly be here with your fur baby. If we do leave for a playground or errand it's for a short time. I have two dogs of my own for socialization and a crate or separate room if needed if there's a dog that needs a break.
About: I have taken care of my own pets since I was a little girl. We have had all kinds of animals from small breed yorkies, medium breed Boston terriers, all the way to large breed bloodhounds. We also have one loving cat I’ve taken care of from the day we got her almost 15 years ago! I have sat for my family and friends with their animals while on vacations or long work days while I was in high school. I have experience in raising a puppy all the way down to helping senior pets into there final days. I have been told that I’m an animal whisperer that even the uncommon animals that only have their few favorite people warm up to me instantly! I have free time after work and on the weekends that I would love to spend with someone’s furry babies to help them have an easier time while on vacations or anytime they’re away from the home for longer than comfortable leaving there babies alone. When caring for other families animals I like to have a run down of their typical day and a list to make sure their routine is interrupted as minimum as possible. In my home, we do breakfast and potty breaks first thing in the morning. We play a little before work then get treats and tucked in for the day. Once I get home we do potty break and play time until dinner time. I know how important a routine can be for an animals comfort and the parents.
About: My whole life I've owned or taken care of animals. When I was in high school I balanced being a volunteer firefighter and working at a boarding kennel/groomer. While working the kennel I tended to dog of all ages,sizes,and breeds. I tended to 30 or more dogs day to day. I made sure all dogs had play time, potty time, Clean environment, water, and food. I have a clear schedule where I can tend to all need of your fur baby(s). I will be able to tend to your baby(s) at any time I would care for your baby(s) as if they were my own. There would be no shortage of cuddles, kisses and love's. When sitting at your home be assured that I will only do what you say you feel comfortable with. I will respect your home as if it was my own.
“Fred had a long-term stay with David and his family while we were in the middle of a cross-country move. He had a meow-velous time and was returned to us happy and with new toys. Dave's kids treated him like one of their own and Fred loved his time with them. We were so relieved to have a comfortable, caring home-away-from-home so gave us piece of mind so that we could concentrate on selling our house, packing it up, waiting for the new house, move in and unpack -- a two-month process that avoided a lot of trauma for our cat and worrying for us. So happy that Dave was such a good fit!”

“I wasn't sure at first to leave my 2 chihuahua behind during our family vacation because they're not very well potty trained. But since they will be stuck in the hotel room all day, I decided to have Amanda care for them while I was away because she have a yard for them. I told her from the beginning that my dogs are not very well potty trained and can be mean sometimes if I'm not around, but she still happily accept my dogs for a entire week! To my surprise, my dogs are actually sweet around her and loves her company. She takes photos and keep me updated throughout my dog's stay and she even bought Christmas cookies for them! She is such an angel, will definitely come back to her!”

Before she went off to college, she lived with 4 dogs, 3 cats, 3 rabbits, a tortoise and a sugar glider so she is well versed in the pet world! She is attentive to animals needs and has a soft spot for all those with 4 legs. I have not hesitated to leave our pets with her, always knowing they were in good hands!
