About: Since I’ve been born my family has always had a dog and cat in the house. I’ve previously taken care of pets of friends and family members and am looking to help others by loving their pets like they’re my own. I currently work from home and have the flexibility to play with, feed, walk, etc your pet at any time of day, any day of the week. I can easily crate your dog if needed. We also have pet gates up in our home to prevent your dog from getting into anything they shouldn’t be in.
About: I've been a dog owner for over 20 years and was a foster parent for a San Diego based rescue group for over 3. I currently volunteer as a dog walker at a local Southern Maryland rescue and also foster with them as well. Our family has cared for, trained and assisted with the adoption of many different breeds from small to large and all ages, puppies less than 12 weeks included. In addition we puppy raise and train service dogs for a non-profit organization based out of NY. Pets bring so much love and joy to our lives and deserve the best care when we are away. I can promise they will receive the same love and attention as if you were home yourself. Current pet is a 13 year old yellow lab and pointer mix that we've had since he was 12 weeks old. He loves long walks, swimming in any body of water and snuggling with his cat brother, Tucker. In addition we have a 2 year old beagle that nothing but fun. References are available upon request. I work remotely and am home during the day. This allows me flexibility to care my own fur-children and yours from either my home or yours. I have a large fenced yard, friendly pups, a dog room and plenty of crates. We often crate and rotate to make sure our pups get enough one on one and would do the same for yours.

About: I have been around dogs since I was ten years old and my family currently has 9 dogs. I own two Pitbull mixes and an American Bulldog mix and specialize in bully breeds. I can do breeds of all sizes but prefer to care for medium size and above. I have my own transportation. I can give pills and injections only if necessary. Pet care is currently my full time job. I also do gig work such as DoorDash and Grubhub so my schedule is flexible and I am able to work with most clients when it comes to their scheduling needs.

I can provide full time pet care in your own home and I provide daily updates and pictures. I do also provide daily drop ins if full time care is not necessary.
