About: Hi! I have carried a passion for animals since I was little; and cared for dogs, cats, and critters since I was 10. I grew up volunteering at the local humane society. Inspired by my childhood dream to be a veterinarian, I always take special care to ensure every pet is loved and well-cared for, including those with special needs. I’m available Monday-Friday as of right now, for overnight care at client house, walking, house visits, and during-the-day drop-bys. No boarding at my place as of right now though! I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving environment for every pet, whether in my home or yours. With years of experience handling animals of all temperaments, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs—ensuring they’re comfortable, secure, and happy. At your place, I follow your routines precisely, from medication administration to security checks. Safety is my top priority: I’m CPR certified, and have a strong understanding of animal behavior and body language so I’m always monitoring for any signs of stress or health issues. Your fur baby’s well-being comes first, customized to their personality and your preferences.
About: I have always been around animals. Even as a child, I knew my love for them was strong! I’m adept at bathing, feeding, walking, and even cuddling them. I have experience with a wide range of breeds and ages, and will always communicate anything needed. As a pet parent, I know how important fur babies can be:) I’m fairly available, and always ready to help! I like to keep a somewhat consistent schedule of bath days and feeding times, and I don’t mind sticking to your dogs specific needs! I have a number of parks near me I don’t mind going to for active play! I also have a lovable lab who like to make new friends, and plenty of treats! If I care in your home, I’ll make sure to stick to any personal comfort measures!
About: I have 3 small rescued dogs and they love other dogs and enjoy playmates. We have a doggie door that they can access the yard from 6 AM to 9 PM. The yard is secure and the fence is 4 feet high. Your dog will get played with, loved and spoiled in my care. I do not anticipate any problem with my daily or weekly routine. I would not accept an assignment if I knew I was too busy that week. Your pet comes first with me. Your fur baby will be in great hands. We love dogs, and our dogs are very friendly and enjoy other dogs. I never get tired of giving attention to any animal.
About: Love animals!!! Kids in college. Taking care of my aging parents (with no regrets) but have always loved the 4 legged ones. Have taken in strays since my childhood. We do a variety of things. I have one who loves to play ball and one who loves to go mousing in the shed. When I’m outside, they are with me. My home is their home. Have had several stay intermittently over the years for friends going on vacation or family members who have stayed with their pets. The more the better!
