About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15. Neighbors and family relied on me to care for their fur babies like I would care for mine. I’m currently part-time as a photographer, so I have time to care for your pets. I can pet sit the weekends and during the weekdays. I have no fenced yard, but I always go outside with them for company and safety. I do playtimes and I do walks with schedules; such as they have a feeding time, walking in certain time of the day, etc.

About: I've had many dogs my whole life. I love playing with them and watching their personalities come out. I've also taken care of my neighbor's dog when she was on vacation. I am working in a reptile building at a zoo, and I also attend college for animal studies, where I work with many different animals. When I'm at the client's house, I will have the dogs on a leash when going outside unless they have a fenced-in yard and they say I can have them off of it. I can also crate the dogs if need be.

About: I am an animal lover! Throughout my life, I have had dogs, cats, a horse, and raised puppies from birth. I am passionate about training dogs and exercising their intelligence. I truly believe that dogs are such blessings that love unconditionally, and we have a responsibility to care for and cherish them. I’m currently between jobs right now so I have a good bit of free time on my hands when I am not traveling with friends and family. I am very responsible while taking care of pets and always paying close attention to make sure they are staying safe. Whether they are high energy or couch-potatoes, I am happy to cater to their needs.
About: I was raised with many pets, including 2 dogs. A pit bull and a shitzu mix. We raised kittens to find them their forever home. I bottle fed and nursed puppies that were without their mother. I learned the value of money by walking my Aunt's shitzu until I started high school. I naturally had an unspeakable connection with animals my whole life. I couldn't ever imagine my life without them. As of right now, our home is being ran by 4 dogs: Coach, Stella, Winnie, and Sage. And 2 cats: Sunny and Ash. Our backyard is big and fenced in. We let them out for an hour or so to get playtime and exercise in. Taking them for walks is not a good idea because Winnie can be reactive. We crate all of our dogs. They eat separately in their crates. Feeding instructions will be left in our refrigerator so they get their adequate amount. They also have slow feeding bowls.
