About: With years of hand on experience in dog care, I treat every pet as they were my own. I will provide a safe, love and safe environment. Your pets well being is my top priority. I’m currently working part time in customer service. I walk my own dogs every morning, it is the best part of my day. I am looking forward to being outside as much as possible and hopefully I can make your pet part of that. I have a large kennel outside for my 2 dogs for whenIi’m at work. On my days off I try to be with them as much as possible. My dogs are dog friendly and would love another friend if you are comfortable. I have a large fenced in area for them to exercise and play.

About: I was he primary care giver for 2 dogs growing up and have been caring for other’s pets since I was 17 years old. I have always loved animals and provide them with individual attention. Each visit will include a detailed report with how the pet was during my time with them. With the end of the school year I am available every day of the week. I prefer Monday-Friday between the hours of 7am-5pm but am willing to work around your schedule! I have a fenced in yard that has plenty of room for your dog to get all their energy out. I always put a leash on dogs outside of fenced in areas as well as areas I am unfamiliar with.
About: I have worked with dogs of all breeds and sizes, I also used to volunteer at my local animal shelter growing up and take the dogs out on hikes to get them acclimated to social environments. I currently work as a writer and video editor remotely, so I have a very flexible schedule Monday-Friday. Let me know when you need someone and I’ll be there for your pets! In client’s homes that have a yard, I always perform a quick walk around to ensure the fence is intact and there is nothing harmful for the pet outside before letting them out. If they have a crate, I always check the latches and ensure the inside is clean before crating them.
