About: I need at least two days of notice to book my services. My family always had many pets so I'm used to being around them and know how to take care of them. My parents would have me watch their dogs and cats when they would go on vacation and I have two dogs and two cats of my own. I want to pet sit on the weekends because I work Monday through Thursday. Thursday nights through Sunday nights I am available to stay and watch them. I have a fenced yard and a dog door so they can go in and out as they want. I also use crates and the room with the dog door to keep them safe while I'm at work.

About: I have been an animal lover all my life and have been lucky enough to share this passion with friends and family around me. I've taken care of wonderful dogs and cats and birds since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have called on me to walk, watch, feed, house break their furry friends for years. I focus on building a trust worthy relationship with clients and their pets, so being away from them can be less gut wrenching. I've worked with pets of all ages and sizes prioritizing Play, excersize, and cuddles. I am currently working part time, which leaves me with plenty of time for your adored pets! My schedule is currently flexible and I may be able to accommodate appointments outside of this range if people are willing to reach out. I am available most weekdays from 10am to 5pm and weekends on request. I am willing to travel to pet owner's houses and walk them in their favorite parks or surrounding neighborhoods. I own a vehicle, so transportation needs could be met as well.
