About: I have a 7 year old Poodle and a 4 month old Aussiedoodle. I have been around dogs/animals my whole life. I am able to provide care for dogs who need medications of any kind. I would recommend that the dogs are crate trained. I have kept dogs for many years for friends and family. I have experience with dogs from ages 4 weeks to 17 years old and have no problem tackling a task that I may have not experienced before. I will do whatever it takes to provide your dog with the care he/she deserves. I have a fenced in side yard for your dog to get exercise. I have lots of land for your dog to enjoy! I can keep more than one dog at a time. I have a very flexible schedule. I can make my schedule fit what you and your dog need most of the time. My goal is to make your dog feel at home and comfortable. I have a fenced in back yard. I also have 2 fur babies that can keep your fur babies company. I have 2 children of my own and they love to play with the dogs also.
About: I have always been drawn to animals. Since I was a little girl, I've cared for all types of animals, except spiders and snakes!! I have trained a boxer/blue heeler, mini pinscher, poodle, and jack russells. Senior dogs have also been in my care. I also enjoy walking dogs. My daily schedule is flexible because I am caring for my disabled child, who also loves animals. I would be open to weekly and weekend availability. I am reliable, respectful, trustworthy, and professional. Safety is my 1st concern and I would care for your fur babies as though they are my own.
About: I grew up with dogs of my own and in more recent years have accumulated a few cats as well. I have had some experience working in an animal hospital and have been trusted by family and friends to care for their pets for years. I have a very caring and gentle approach, but can care for pets of all sizes. I have cared for seniors and have been known to spoil pets rotten. Pet care is my sole focus and at this time my schedule is very open. I am available any time and day of the week. Personally, I view animals more as my equal and friend rather than pets. I strive to understand and respect their boundaries and let them be their natural selves rather than expecting them to act as a human. I let my animals see me as their friend who simply shares a home with mutual respect for each other. However, I am very good at following instructions and upholding any rules that any pet owners may have for their homes.
About: Animal care is the focus of my professional life as well as my personal life. I’ve been caring for, training, and loving dogs and horses since I was a boy. I believe only in positive reinforcement and patience. Animals WANT to please their owners. They just need to be taught how. I’m available weekdays and can make almost any time work to fit your schedule! I’m available weekends, but the schedule is a little tighter for child care reasons. For walks, I like to take dogs to undisturbed stretches of land or trails to hone their leash training and stamina. When training a dog commands, I use my own property which is void of distractions.
About: I have had and taken care of animals as long as I can remember. I will treat your pet as my very own! Not just providing basic needs but love and attention! I work part time so I would consider caring for your fur babies as an after workday pleasure to wrap up my day and will be excited to spend some time playing with them! I will care for your fur babies as my own. If you have any special instructions please let me know and leave a detailed note explaining these requirements!
