About: I’ve always loved farm style animals and a country girl that lives in the City. 😁 I’ve rode horses growing up and during fair time bottle calves for the sons to show at fair. We have a borgie that will be 2 February 13th. Borgie is a 1/4 border collie and 3/4 corgi. His name is Rip. We do live in McCallsburg but am in Nevada everyday. I have a part time job which makes my days Monday and Thursdays free. All three kiddos are in school all day this year. Let me know what you need and I'll see what we can get worked out! I unfortunately don’t have a fenced in yard . Will for sure take dog on walks. We do have a fenced in deck but it’s not much. We do have three young kiddos that will help your dog burn off energy.

About: Animals are my life — I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs, horses, and livestock, I’ve been caring for pets for as long as I can remember (28 years professionally I started pet sitting at age 16 ). I’ve trained and competed in personal protection with dutch Shepherds, lovingly nursed my own Cane Corso through colon cancer, and raised countless puppies and cared for senior dogs with patience and medical know-how. Whether your pup needs structured walks, medication, extra cuddles, or just a calm, experienced friend, they’ll be treated like family in my care. Reliable, strong on safety, and 100 % devoted to happy, healthy pets.” Pet care is my daily routine! My fiancé, our dog, and I travel full-time across the country for his work, ( I will be the only one caring for your pet) so my schedule is completely flexible and built around animals. Mornings start with me walking and feeding our own pup, then I’m free all day for drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays with your pets. Afternoons and evenings are the same — I’m almost always within a short drive and ready to help whenever you need me. I never have conflicts with a traditional job, appointments, or commuting. Your dog (or cat!) for however long you’re away, will be getting the same love, exercise, and attention I give my own. Reliable, experienced, and always available — that’s how pet care fits into my life every single day.” I treat your house with the same respect I expect for mine — shoes off, counters wiped, lights/temperature left exactly as you like. • Double-leash walks, secure harness/collar checks before every outing, and I carry a pet-safe first-aid supplies at all times. • 28 years of experience means I’m calm in emergencies and know the warning signs of distress, bloat, seizures, etc. Whether at your place or mine, your pet gets the same love and vigilant care I gave my own dog through her cancer journey — they’re never just ‘another booking,’ they’re family while they’re with me.”

“Ciera was very friendly and professional. She was interested in learning about my dog. She was safe in the way introduced herself to him and genuinely seemed to care about his well-being.”
