About: I’ve had dogs for over 10 years, especially small dogs, as well as cats for the last three. I enjoy taking care of all creatures, great and small, and I live in a neighborhood perfect for walking. I do have a standard 9 to 5 jobs, but they are OK with pets in the building. I am easily able to take them outside for potty break. I have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe. It is the perfect area to go for a walk. There is an open space in the middle of the neighborhood. Great for playing fetch. I have aI have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe. It is the perfect area to go for a walk. There is a open space in the middle of the neighborhood. Great for playing fetch. I have a fenced in patio in the back, cats Absolutely love it!

About: I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands when you’re away - I’ve spent my entire life caring for dogs, cats, and birds I work remotely for the most part so I'm flexible. I can work my other job at my pace and can ensure your fur baby has plenty of attention. My home has a fenced yard. I have a spare room if your animal like their space. I enjoy outside time if your animals likes walks.

About: Hello! I’m Angelica! I’m happy to meet you! Feel free to book me as I am willing to do almost anything to fulfill your pets needs and satisfy you as a customer. I do have experience as I have studied animal anatomy, am/have been a volunteer at near by animal rescues and shelters, and I have three dogs myself (two of which live with me and the third being a family dog)! I love animal and am always willing to learn something new and have plenty of references to help back up all this information! I prefer to do dog sitting in my home since I am able to have free access to emergency kits, constant walks and be able to do boarding at the same time as dog sitting. I have experienced in administering medications as my family dog has seizures and needs round the clock care. I will promise to shower your baby with attention and unconditional love! I am currently working 3rd shift and my partner works 1st. Due to this, there is always someone home with the pups who is able to take them out for potty breaks and spend time with them. I have a fenced in yard that is high enough to prevent any escape artists! I also have two friendly dogs who will be more than happy to run around with your pup and let off some energy!

“Paxton was an absolute gem! She had our Willow for 11 days. She sent updates frequently, that included pictures and videos. We highly recommend her. We will utilizing her again for our next vacation.”
