About: Hi! I’m Gianna — a lifelong animal lover with a dream of becoming a veterinarian. I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, so I’m confident with everything from playful puppies to senior sweethearts. I offer flexible availability, including walks, drop-ins, overnights, and plenty of cuddle time. Whether your pup needs exercise, company, or just a loving presence while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. Animals are my passion, and your pet’s comfort and safety always come first! I’m currently a flight attendant but I usually only do day trips so I’m always available after or before work. I know my schedule a head of time so that will never be an issue. I’ve grown up always having dogs and cats but since moving out I don’t have any. So I currently don’t have any animals as of now.
About: Hi, my name is Faithe. I am 22 and am currently going to college for Phlebotomy. I have personally had three dogs in my lifetime, one a boxer and the other a border collie and I currently have a beautiful pitbull mix and 3 kittens/cats. My border collie died not long ago and I’ve been really missing my girl. I want to help others take care of their beautiful fluff babies and give them all the care and love they need. I pay attention to any eating habits or any specials steps your pet needs including medication handling. I'm currently only working two days a week so I have plenty of time to play around with pups and provide then anything they need. I have access to a dog park and have two water bowls that refill itself so no pup gets too thirsty and always keep a stock of treats 😊
