About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have experience with small dogs and big dogs. I have gone through puppy kindergarten classes with my dog as well. I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, Guinea pigs, birds and bearded dragons. Pet care fits into my routine as I am pretty flexible on weekends, so that I can let them out frequently. I work as an instructional assistant for an elementary school. I can care for animals before and after work as well as my lunch breaks. I follow the school schedule and get holidays and breaks off as well. I prefer staying in the clients home so that the pets can stay in their comfort zone and as close to their normal routine. With that said, I am also very flexible. I can stay in the home, offer drop in visits or care for them in my home. Whatever the client prefers.

About: I have cared for many different breeds of dogs. Whether that be just feeding, to training and grooming. I have had my personal pets for over 10 years.

I help with cleaning the cats' litter box, picking up messes/accidents around the house, and making sure to clean up animal hair with plenty of vacuuming and laundry. I also love to play with them and provide plenty of cuddles!

We have also had sick animals in the past that I have gained experience with. My parents also like to travel and I am the go-to house and dog babysitter during their times away.

I am always diligent about following all instructions and requests, and providing the level of care needed for each animal. Cleaning the home is also important to me and I make sure to prioritize leaving the home cleaner than I found it. I am detail-oriented and value going above and beyond with communication and exceeding my clients' standards.
