About: From wiggly puppies to wise old seniors, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s high-energy zoomies, slow-and-steady strolls, or extra TLC for pups who need a little more love, I’m here for it all. I regularly volunteer at local shelters to walk, play with, and even foster animals who need a boost of love and attention. It’s more than just pet-sitting for me—it’s about building trust, comfort, and connection with every animal I meet (and probably falling in love with them a little, too). You can count on me for reliable care, happy tails, and plenty of cuddles. Let’s make your pet feel right at home—even when you’re not! Stay-at-home mama (former elementary teacher) with flexible hours and a heart full of love for pets. Two of my three kiddos are in school during the day, so I’m available to give your pets all the attention they deserve—whether it’s walks, playtime, or cozy snuggles. I’m experienced with pups of all ages, love volunteering at shelters, and am all about making pets feel safe, happy, and spoiled. Not quite ready to jump back into full-time teaching, but 100% ready to be your pet’s new favorite companion! In my home, I have a large fenced in yard and indoor kennels. I am good at following directions and will make sure your animal has all their basic needs met.
About: I have owned dogs before I could even read. I have always loved dogs and have cared for a large variety of dogs, whether that be age, size, gender, or breed. I have such a love for dogs, I’ve considered becoming a dog trainer ever since I was a child. I’m not currently working, so I’m very flexible with reservations. Just let me know ahead of time and I can be very flexible with you! I remain consistent in their daily routines, especially for potty breaks. I am a huge advocate for positive reinforcement training, so I will make sure the dogs are recognized for doing good.
About: Since I was a kid my house has always been full of animals. Dog's, cats, hamster’s, bunnies, maybe a turtle or a fish. I love animals and they were my favorite memories of growing up where I did. Ive taken care of dogs ranging to English mastiffs to miniature rat terriers. I prefer a bigger dog personally. My parents own a small farm with children and goats so I am familiar with some farm animals too. I am a big when it comes to an animal respect. I believe if you respect them they will respect you. I am mainly available during the week day as of now. I do have another part time that I barely work at so most times during the day shouldn't be a problem. The first thing I will do is try to gain the trust of your animal. Whichever way I can. Not approach them too quickly or early.
