About: I’ve always loved owning animals. I’ve always owned at least a dog since growing up and now as an adult. I find so much joy and love in having a furry companion. I will give any love, care and comfort needed to your fur babies! I’m a teacher during the school year but home all summer and flexible during the day and can offer in my own home pet boarding depending on your needs. I have a large fenced in backyard to keep your pet contained. I have my own small dog who loves all cats and dogs and a cat who is also very accepting of other pets (I pet sit in my home for family pets and my pets love to share their space). I am open to letting your pet roam free in my home or stay in a crate when I leave.
“Tyler was very quick respond. Our older dog is shy and he took the time to connect with her. He did a great job. This was our first time using Rover and we'll be calling upon him again.”
About: I have been caring for household pets since I was a kid. I would watch pets for family and neighbors while they were out of town. Or just stopping by during the day to walk the dog and make sure they are fed and happy. Currently I volunteer at the Michigan Humane Society as a member of the behavior modification group. I have 2 dogs of my own (Ferda and Cruz) they are both large dogs 105 and 65 lbs, so I am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperament's. I am also fully able to safely walk multiple dogs at once and make sure they stay under control. I have earned a Canine Specialist certificate through SCI as well as a certificate in animal first aid and CPR through ProPetHero. Along with having fun with your dog I can also bathe and brush your dog if needed, whether your dog is muddy and stinky or just needs a basic shed brushing I can provide a calm relaxing experience for your dog. I still currently am working part time cooking in order to cover my bills, but my goal is to be able to leave that industry and work full time in pet care and training. I am available Wednesday- Friday anytime in the morning until 2 pm and at any time on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday. Soon there will be more times available. I have a fully fenced in yard with 2 friendly dogs who love to play fetch and tug. They also value their rest time. I am able to crate your dog if needed and also have a separate room that is set aside for a cat living area full of toys and climbable cat trees and wall mazes, or for a dog training room as needed.
About: I have had pets my whole life and take care of them myself. Also have babysat for others including grooming, medications, and feeding. I absolutely love dogs and have cared for cats too. I work part time at an orthodontic office in Birmingham. I am available most weekends, Wednesdays, and Fridays! I am willing to be flexible with times I live in an apartment so the types of dogs I am allowed to have is limited. But feel free to ask me if your dog is a good fit for my apartment

About: I have grown up with animals and love taking care of them. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs. I also am able to administer medication to animals. I work remotely on my own time so I have the ability to be adaptable. I am fairly flexible and can usually make adjustments for last minute accommodations. I am very attentive to any special requests that an animal or their owner may have. I have been caring for my Golden Retriever for 12 years and I understand the needs of senior animals.
