About: I've been taking care of Dogs, Cats, Snakes, Spiders, Turtles, Fish, etc. since I was first tasked with feeding our animals at the age of 5. I then quickly learned how to take care of them through exercise, diet, and recognizing signs of their distress. This extends to young and old pets alike. I will always treat our furry family members with tailored love and care to best make them comfortable and happy. I'm a U.S. military veteran who retired from the Air Force in 2024. With 5 dogs of my own pet care is part of every day life for me. The only work I do now is freelance so your pets and mine have total control over my daily schedule, and I wouldn't want it any other way. For boarding cases, my yard is fenced and there are multiple levels in my house, with their own outside access, where I am able to keep my dogs separate in the event they don't get along. I will follow your schedules with feeding and crating (if you crate). For all cases of walking, daily checkups, etc. I'll make sure you know that I understand everything that needs to happen to give you piece of mind that your pets are safe. I'm always happy to provide pictures and updates to keep you in the loop as well. Anything you need me to do for your pets, I will do.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, birds, hamsters and more since I was young! Dogs are my specialty - the energy, love and loyalty are unmatched. I work from home full time so I’m always able to give care and attention! Walks between meetings, pets all day long, and cuddles at bedtime! Since I work from home, I can provide extra attention and potty breaks when needed. Pets are allowed on my furniture, both living room and bed. I’m always available to answer questions and open to odd/end requests if house sitting!

About: I have grown up my whole life with dogs . I pay very close attention to their needs and will make sure that they get the attention they deserve . If they get dirty while on my watch , I will make sure they are returned clean to you . I had a dog watching business during my 4 years of college and would like to continue Post-Grad. I work from home full time so I will be able to play and walk your furry friend often . I always keep a stash of treats and will willingly give out cuddles and belly rubs. My dog is very friendly and loves other dogs. He would love a friend to play with while I’m working . I have a pet of my own that I care for daily . I walk him 3-4 times a day on my work breaks and we go to the dog park on my off days . There is a small dog park attached to my complex that I frequent often for potty breaks or just to have some fun in the sun .
