About: I am a 4-h kid and I have always loved animals! I love playing and taking care of dogs. I used to take care of cats at a shelter with disabilities and i loved it! I have watched friends and family dog for years and I promise I will do my best to make your pet happy! I can do dog walking and checkins anytime of the week. I take care of my parents since they both have health issues at the moment so I would have to see when I could house sit or what works best for you. I would love to stay or check on your pup or cat! I will gladly stay at your home with your furry friend and make sure they have everything they need!
“Jared is wonderful with dogs! He just needs to get more organised in regards to his 'other' job. I paid for housesitting but one day he was only there for a very short time. We discussed that and hopefully it won't happen again. I will hire him again”
About: I've owned dogs my whole life. German Shepherds and high energy dogs are my wheel house. But have plenty of experience with smaller dogs like Pomeranians and bigger dogs like great Pyrenees. Cats I've raised from nursing kittens to senior cats. I also am familiar with reptiles such as snakes and lizards. I can also care for small pets such as hamsters and guinea pigs and rabbits. Just inquire me if you have a special pet you might not find often. I work a full time job Monday through Thursday, I also have my own pets. All rescues. 4 guinea pigs, 4 cats, 1 dog, and a sand boa. I have a fully fenced yard and a high energy 90lbs dog. Inside, the small animal room stays closed to keep them safe, the rest of the house is built for my cats
