About: Currently the school year has started so my availability during the week is limited. If you need weekend care, we would love to help you with that! Justin and I have always had soft spots for dogs. We've both grown up with dogs ans ever since we have been together we have dreamed of owning our own dogs. Justin and I both work full-time, but we are able to care for your dogs just like we do our own. I am a teacher and have summers off, winter break, and spring break. School starts back August 14th. We have a fenced in yard with a large backyard for roaming and playing. Our two pups will help keep yours having fun. Both of our dogs love other dogs of all kinds. We walk our dogs daily through our neighborhood and sit outside with them for a few hours every night when we get home from work, weather permitting. When we are gone at work or for errands we let our dogs free roam the house.

About: I grown up with many different pets, I would love to surround myself with more fur babies. While they are great supper system, we still need time away from them for many different reasons. Your babies will have my full attention when they are with me, if they like to play with toys or my puppy (date of birth 3/18/2022) will be a plus. I am able to provide medical care, walk, bath, game, and training reinforcement based on owners’ rule in order to provide consistent information for your fur babies! I am available and stay at home from Monday to Thursday. I am not working during this timeframe, so I can provide the attention that your fur babies require. I would love to meet with your fur babies first before the service for the safety of your babies and mine. This will help the fur babies to get familiar with me and my puppy before the long hours of hanging out without you the owner’s presence. Currently, I am working from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and is willing to work with your and your dog babies schedule. After communicating with you, I would like to make a clarifying questions if I do, I’ll have them and I try my best to meet the ask of you.
