About: I had a dog growing up for several years where I not only took care of, but she was also my friend and companion! Growing up with a dog was a good responsibility and taught me how to care for something else. I’m currently in occupational therapy school and I have a month and a half break where I am looking to earn some extra cash! I would be available on weekdays or weekends. I will create a safe, and trusting environment for your pet while providing tailored care specifically to your own pet. I want to provide a comfortable environment and build rapport with your pet. Meeting up with your pet prior before providing pet care will ensure this safe environment.

About: I have cared for all kinds of animals since I could remember, from raccoons, rats, horses, and Guinea pigs to your more normal cats and dogs and lizards. I currently have a pup so I do pet care every day all day. She is a part of my family so she is never lacking when it comes to her care and exercise. I currently live in a townhouse and I don’t have a yard so we go for long walks on the edge of town multiple times a day as well as car rides. In my clients home I use the resources they have available (big yard either fenced or not) or we will just go for walks throughout the day. I make the care of the client the priority.
