About: I have been around animals for my entire life, mostly dogs! I have pet sit for neighbors and family friends since I was young, and have been working professionally with animals for about one year, feeding, training, coaching, and shanking animals in shelter, daycare, and boarding environments all ranging from pets ages newborn to elderly. I have the most experience with dogs, but I do have experience with cats and a love for both. I am a full time student, however, my classes are all online so I am available to work from any location at any time. I have open availability currently and can take care pets at any time! Although I live in a smaller apartment, my complex is gated and completely friendly to pets, and my unit is directly outside of a private dog park for residents only! Your pets will have plenty of toys and room to run around and have fun here. Should I be taking care of your pets at your own residence, it is another priority of mine to ensure your space is respected and kept clean, and I have experience as a professional kennel technician and cleaner to ensure any messes that occur from your pets will be handled efficiently.

About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. My first dog was a Chihuahua who lived to be 18, so I learned a lot about caring for senior dogs and making sure they stay comfortable as they grow older. I've also grown up around horses and farm animals, and I even had a leopard gecko for a couple years. Most of my friends and family have dogs too, so I've spent plenty of time around all kinds of personalities and energy levels. Being around animals has always been something I enjoy! I'm a full time college student, so I have lots of extra time to care for your beloved companions! I have my own transportation and extremely flexible times. I live in an apartment with my Belgian Malinois, so I know firsthand how important exercise, structure, and routine can be, especially for high-energy dogs! I'm very organized and always do my best to stick to each pet's normal schedule so they feel comfortable and at home.

“Asher did a wonderful job with my senior cat.He is older and needs soft food. Giz loved his time with Asher. She was very patient and caring . I would definitely recommend Asher to care for any of your pets.She listened to all his needs and took really good care of him.”

About: I own my own cat sanctuary, I feed an army of stray cats in my backyard. I have fostered newborn kittens. I was also a dog bather for a little over a year. I have full flexibility and availability in my schedule, I am currently unemployed looking to make this my full time job. I can come over at any time of the day. In a clients house I will feed the animal and let them go outside/walk them. Make sure your pet didn’t make any accidents in the house and clean up any mess that is made. I will also make sure your cuddly friend gets lots of attention and love.

About: I have had dogs my entire life, from 6 week old puppies to old souls, I love them all! Dogs hold such a special place in my heart so showing them the love they have shown me is definitely one of my favorite parts of life. I am currently on my summer break from college and only taking one summer class that ends soon so much schedule is very flexible and I can be with your pup for as long as needed. I am happy to accommodate and do anything necessary to make your pup feel comfortable. I will definitely abide by any home rules you have and use them in my home as well if boarding is needed.
