About: I am a huge dog lover who has grown up with dogs my entire life. I currently have three rescues of my own, Finn, Maggieđ, and Penny. My dogs are my babies and I would give up the world for them. I am also a volunteer with an organization called The Un-Shelter and we support local shelters. I've also volunteered at DACC in the past. Let me help you with your babies- I promise to take care of them as if they were my own! I have some flexibility during the week and pretty open availability on the weekends for drop ins and walking visits! Let me help you out. I do not offer boarding in my home at this time. However, I am happy to follow any instruction or guidance you provide while in your home!
âI have had Keanna taking my two large black lab mix dogs for walks several days a week (or drop-ins if necessary during rainy days) while I'm working for a couple months now and she's amazing! The dogs love her! She can take both of them at the same time without a problem and they are much more disciplined now on walks in general because of her guidance. She is very reliable and very flexible and also will be house sitting/dog sitting for me the next couple of times I go out of town. Highly recommend! đĽ°đâđŚşđžđžđâđŚşđĽ°â

About: I love the sense of companionship that dogs and cats offer to us humans. When people give you headaches because they astound you with their clear lack of basic human decency, empathy, a complete disregard of your feelings or self worth, or greediness, sometimes the best medicine are our cats and dogs. Or someone else's. Since I live in an apartment that doesn't allow dogs or even cats (only apartment I could afford at the time) I would only be able to come to your home for pet care services at this time. I am available 24/7 365. I will come to your home and follow directions given to me in regards to your pets,. ie, taking them for long or short walks, staying overnight(s) to watch your pet and therefore also watching your home, letting dogs out for bathroom breaks and fresh air, cleaning cat litter boxes, feeding, or just hanging out and playing or NOT playing with your pet (recovering from surgery perhaps, too old to play), administering meds, keeping him/her company while being caring, considerate, affectionate, and fun.

About: Began working at an animal shelter young so I have experience cleaning up after all kinds of animals as well as nurturing and care taking. Ive owned dogs my whole life and adopted my first cat about five years ago. Ive rescued and rehoused many stray dogs/cats over the years and would love to work to care for others pets as if they were my own.

My cat does a lot of cuddling and laying and sometimes wants to play prey with a rope toy.

About: Growing up, Iâve always had close bonds with animals, whether it was dogs, cats, birds or even lizards and theyâd always take a liking to me. Iâd love spending time with them, walking, petting them or even just hanging out. I usually pet sit on my off days but eventually Iâd want to do this full time.:) Iâll slowly start to migrate to a full time of doing Rover. I make sure I follow all the instructions given to make sure a safe space is provided. Medication schedule, walking schedule and even special procedures included.
âJordan was wonderful with our 3 month old puppy! He responded within minutes, was very professional and came to meet our pup the day after we contacted him. Our pup took to him immediately, and Jordan came and walked him several days a week for three weeks. Each time, he was prompt, sent us pictures and a run down of how each walk went. Jordan was also very flexible with a few of our unexpected schedule changes. He is truly an ideal person to trust in caring for your dog, and we will absolutely be requesting his services again!â

I've had to take care of dogs that have needed daily medication also. I have experience with large and small dogs. I'm comfortable around all breeds. Most of the dogs I have had have been larger dogs, dobermans, boxers, pit bulls, etc. I have recently committed to staying home full time, so I have plenty of time to give your fur baby the Love and attention they need and deserve.
