About: Ive had 7 different species of animals in my life and have a wide range of care knowledge. It would make my life more enjoyable to train and take care of a/n animal or animals I will have some obligations as I am currently in college and have classes, feel free to reach out and ask what my specific schedule is. I am most available Friday through Tuesday, but have breaks in-between classes on Thursdays I could work during. A out of the blue request does have a chance of being accepted if you are willing to move around the schedule you would like just a little bit. I like to leave things cleaner than when i entered, no going through personal things and anything damaged while engaging with the animals would be replaced

We so appreciate her help, and we would definitely use Amanda again should the need arise!”

20. Katherine P.
About: I have had a pet that I’ve taken care of since I was a junior in high school. My family first got a dog, a German Shepard mix, that I regularly took care of. Once I was living on my own, I began owning cats. Currently, I have two orange cats that are brothers and about 1 year old. I regularly walk and babysit my friend’s two mid-size dogs, both rescues, as well as my friend’s Beagle-mix. I love taking them for walks, playing with them in the backyard or just cuddling on the couch while we watch some TV. I am comfortable with any size dog, any requirements for that dog, as well as other animals that may be in the household. Please feel free to contact me regarding further questioning or availability. I am a teacher, so I hope to stop by after school hours to let your dog out or visit with your cat between them and when you return home. I am available during the week days around 3:45-4:00. I will only be walking or visiting your home but I will make sure to keep your pet safe on their leash or within your home. I will check to make sure doors are locked and animals are safely in your home.
