About: I grew up with 3 dogs in my family. I treated them as family because they are family! You have no need to worry with me taking care of your special ones. I do work full time but I am available in the evenings and on my days off. Monday, Tuesday and Friday. I will make time to play with your pets. I will be respectful of your home. I will give your pets the best care while you are away. You have no need to worry.
About: Please note: We prefer hypoallergenic dogs since I have a son that's a little allergic, but we're willing to meet your dog and see how he does. He's fine with some dogs so we haven't figured it out. My family and I love dogs. They're therapeutic and we LOVE to snuggle them and play with them. I’ve had many years of experience with dogs. I've taken care of senior dogs and a dog with special needs, I've taken care of puppies, I've taken care of a female dog in heat and I've had up to 6 dogs at my house before for a dog play date. I've raised two puppies in my lifetime and I've had several different dogs, most of them were rescue dogs from the shelter. I've gone to people's homes to house sit and watch their dogs or to just let their dogs out, I've walked peoples dogs and I've met several different kinds of dogs when we take our dog to the dog park. I love them all and so does my dog Milo! I'm a stay at home mom so I am home often and will be available for your dog as much as I can. I can play with your dog(s), snuggle them, feed them, walk them and love them. I do prefer dogs that don't bark a whole lot, since I have a baby that still naps. I have a fenced backyard and I have a friendly dog that will welcome and play with your dog. Assuming your dog is house trained, I'm happy to have them in my home but if it's good weather, I do put them outside often during the day. If your dog likes to run off, please make sure you let me know so we can be extra careful. Although I have a son that's learning to keep the front door shut so dogs won't run out and a toddler who is curious and pulls at dogs hair sometimes, I will try everything in my power to keep your dog safe and feeling comfortable and loved!
About: I've owned dogs since I was 7. We are a dog family, and we love all types! Big, small, in-between! Taking care of them, showering them with love and making sure their needs are met is what we are best at! My daughter and I are quite the team. We've taken care of all our neighbors pets when they leave so we are branching out to serve a bigger area! Will that be you? Hope so! I currently work part time so I have time during the day and most weekends to pop in for potty breaks, and play time! As for watching them over night we can work that into the schedule as well! I have 2 older dogs that aren't too happy with change so for the time being I'm only offering to watch them in your home and come to you! From greeting them warmly and letting them out to potty and play as well as making sure they have water and food, they will be taken care of and not have the stress of leaving home!
About: I’ve been taking care of my neighbors dogs and my own dogs since I was around 10 years old. Dogs are my life, I love them with all my heart 💗 I am currently working two jobs at the moment, I work at a bakery that I sadly only get scheduled at least once every two weeks. So that’s why I got my second job, which is working as a substitute teacher for my school district. I have two dogs as my own, who I feed, take on walks, play with, cuddles, and as much attention as they need. I also have taken care of my fiancé’s two dogs while he was on a trip with his family. I followed each of their instructions and made sure that the dogs got all the attention and love they deserved 💗
