About: Growing up in an animal loving family, animals have always been a major part of my life! I have always known a life where cats and dogs are apart of it, and are expected to be treated with love and respect. My goal for taking care of animals is the same way I am with any human - to leave them feeling more loved than they did before I came into contact with them. The same way humans need routine, tended to with intention, and connected with is the same for our animals! What I can promise for your animals being in my care is to provide a home away from home, with snuggles, plenty of walks, a kept up routine, and a clean and cozy space to land. I can’t wait to meet your angels! I am a college student with carved out personal breaks in my day that any animal could be loved on in that time frame! I also am a creature of habit, and love to help keep the animals routine in any way I can and can shift my day around whatever they would need. My goal is to make my space feel no different from what an animal would have at their space at home, and if I’m in their home when taking care of them, respecting and keeping their space sacred as well!

About: I have had many dogs since I was a kid. As an adult, I have had 5 dogs over the years. They have always been adopted from a shelter or rescue group, plus one dog from an elderly friend. I have adopted 2 puppies and the others were several years old when they were adopted. I love their companionship. I walk our current dog as many days/week as possible. She is my travel buddy! I have crate-trained the puppies and provided as much love and care as possible for our senior dogs, including providing medication. My animals are my children and are very spoiled! I'm currently unemployed so available pretty much any time to care for animals. Once I find a full-time job, my schedule may change a bit but if my job is remote then I would have a lot of flexibility to care for the animals. I have a fairly large fenced yard for running and playing. Trees for observing the squirrels! There are 2 outside cats that do not really mind other dogs. My dog has done very well with other dogs as long as they are not aggressive or too big. I also live in a nice neighborhood where dogs can be walked, including a nice, wooded area with a great trail for walking. I also live close to Eagle Creek park where dogs could be walked.
