About: I have grown up with pets my entire life and have 2 dogs that are 7 and 8 years old. I have never had any issues with any pets and would love to take care of anyone else's. I can care for any age of dogs or cats and if you have any specific requirements or requests just let me know ahead of time. Your pets will be in very capable and loving hands, and hopefully have an excellent time with me. I look forward to taking care of your fur babies :) I work from home and I'm self employed. I make my own hours and have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my routine. Let me know if you have any restrictions on what your fur babies can do or where they can go so I can provide them with the best care.

“Really nice and friendly gentleman who did an amazing job watching our senior dog Sophie. he’s was able to make that old dog feel like a puppy. She’s was playing like her old self when we can home. He so caring.”
8. Matt H.
“Matt did a wonderful job watching our elderly kitty Felipe! His check-in’s were always extremely thorough with lots of pictures of our girl! He was always on time to check on her and did a great job giving Felipe her probiotic every night. He even went the extra mile as to sit and stay with her when she wasn’t feeling too social to make sure her food settled alright, which meant the world to us because our baby has a sensitive tummy. When she did have a tummy issue and threw up, Matt was sure to notify us immediately and clean up throughly. Felipe is very wary of new people usually, but she warmed up to Matt straight away, which is a testament to how great of a human he is!”

I’m a student at Chapman University with classes from Monday-Thursday. This makes me free to take care and play with your dog(s) from Thursday night-Sunday night!! My apartment community is gated, enclosed, and animal friendly with a park, grassy areas, and animal-friendly neighbors.
