Kyleen is amazing! Yesterday my dog had an accident in her crate with diarrhea everywhere. Kyleen responded to the situation with compassion and understanding- she even wiped down some of the mess so that it was easier for me to clean up once I got home! I would highly recommend her!

About: I have taken care of many pups throughout the years. I have helped with pups for family, friend and neighbors for few hours to days at a time. I am currently not working, therefore I have open availability. I can stay in your home with your fur babies. This way the fur babies will be happier in their own space. I do not have a fenced yard. I will be outside with the fur babies and I will walk the fur babies too in the area.

About: I have had dogs for most of my life and always loved all animals. I work remotely so I am almost always home with my own pets. I work night shifts from home, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I spend a lot of time with my own pets and there is never a dull moment, they keep me entertained Every animal I’ve ever had has had their own unique personality with unique needs. I currently have cats and big dogs, but before them I had a senior Yorkie with special needs. I will tailor my care to whatever will be best for your pet(s).
