I will love your dog as much as you do and will treat them like my own. I am respectful and responsible with any of your personal needs or wants when it comes you and your four legged friends.

I will be able to let your pups out for potty breaks, go for walks and have plenty of time to play. I make sure that a leash is always attached before opening a door to take your dog for a walk unless fenced in. We currently don’t have a fence, but will hopefully soon. We have two friendly dogs.

About: Hello, and thank you so much for considering me. Over the years I have been entrusted with the care of many friend's and family's pets. I am comfortable and have experience with all ages from very young animals to senior animals to include special needs. I have owned animals my entire life and currently am "mom" to two German Shepherds, two Great Pyrenees, One Australian Shepherd' a rabbit, and a flock of chickens. Furthermore, I am a retired service member that has traveled extensively for extended periods of time, so I know from experience how important it is to find the right person that is trustworthy enough bring into my home to care for and love my pets. As I stated, I am a retired Army Non Commissioned Officer. And It has been my dream for quite some time to work with animals in this capacity. So I am now a full time pet care professional. I understand that it can be difficult for an animal when their humans are gone and I will lovingly and patiently establish trust and create bond with your pet so that they are comfortable and have a fun filled experience while you are gone. I love all of my animals. They are the world to me. I really love to spend time walking, playing, and grooming them. I lead my pack with love. And of course, when I come into your home-- I will treat yours as I do mine. So with me, they will have lots of play time, plenty of of walks, and as much cuddle time as they want. Therefore, you can rest assured that I will respect your home, honor your wishes, and that your pets will receive the absolute highest level of care, attention, and affection while they are under my care.

About: I grew up helping care for dogs on our family farm since I was a child. We had hunting dogs who I provided for in our barns outside and loving, coach potato dogs inside as well. In college I worked at a pet store where I cared for puppies and dogs of all ages. I learned knowledge of many breeds and how to administer medications. Volunteering at the local dog shelter on weekends kept me busy as well. I recently lost my senior dog to cancer earlier this year and have been missing the companion lifestyle! I work fully remote M-F and can do so from any household. My schedule is flexible where I can stop by on a whim if needed. My weekends are always open for house sitting or animal walking needs! I am well versed in animal care. Ranging from in home/personal yard, neighborhood walks alone, dog parks with others, etc. Your comfort ability level is my preference!

About: For the last 4 years my husband and I have had 4 dogs. He often travels, so I am usually caring for them alone. We have a husky, 2 pit-husky mixes, and a Belgium shepherd. I trained the Belgium shepherd from puppy age, and she’s now the sweetest and best guard dog out there! Our dogs can be stubborn at times, and I’ve even had to break up a couple of dog fights. I am able to handle difficult situations if your dog is a little tougher or not as friendly. I have always loved animals, especially dogs because of their loyalty and cuteness. From small dogs to large- I can care for them however you need and will treat them like they’re my own! I recently quit my job because we moved, so I have all the free time in the world! I can be flexible and stay with your pet to play longer if you need. Since we currently have 4 dogs we are not taking any pets to stay with us. However, we have a barn and hope to be able to house dogs there some day!
