About: I have owned & cared for pets for 10 years. I am very attentive to any changes in behavior or mood. I am very respectful of their wants & needs. I currently work full time M-F, but about 2 days a week I work from home. I am available for boarding on weekends. I can be home as needed to care for your pet. I have a medium sized, unfenced yard. I also have 2 fur babies of my own to play & keep your baby company. I have a large kennel if needed.

About: I grew up on a farm and learned early in life how to care for a lot of different animals. We had several dogs, cats, cattle, horses and pigs going up. Over the years, I have cared for family and friends pets as they travel or vacation. I love animals, especially dogs. I always thought I would have gone into Veterinary Medicine. So, for the past many years I have rescued and rehome many animals. Update: My rescue dogs all have passed and I truly miss Gizmo, Lucky and Sweetie Pie. All of them were such gifts while they were here. Gizmo was a Shih Tzu and will always be my baby. I rescued at 3 months old. I truly believe he was a miracle sent to me. I had him for 12 years and every day was a blessing. He got an autoimmune disease and passed in 2018. I never had children so my dogs are my fur babies. I rescued another dog, Lucky. He passed in 2015. I actually had to put him down due to cancer. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I rescued Lucky when he was abandoned and everyone had given up on him. He was a shih Tzu too. Unfortunately, he had some health issues and was very aggressive with food. It took me at least a year to work with him on his aggression when others probably would have given up. He was my special needs dog. That is experience in itself when you take care of that kind of dog. I had to learn a lot of patience. He survive 5 years of a life that he probably would not have had if I hadn't taken him. He developed cancer at 11 years old. We did surgery to remove the tumors but he just wasn't strong enough to get better. I then started volunteering, fostering and helping other dogs find loving homes again. I felt like I was healing one day at a time. That is where I met Sweetie Pie. She has the personality that makes you laugh, even some little quirks that remind me of Lucky. I was just going to foster her but Gizmo fell in love with her and they are best friends. As you can see, I have quite the experience as well as administering meds, bathing and lots and lots of tender loving care. Update: Sweetie passed this passed April 2022 with bone cancer. One day she was running on the farm playing, the next she could barely walk. She wasn't sick at all and the vet said that this type of Cancer develops and spreads quickly. I work with Rover previously in Tennessee and had to move back to Mississippi in April 2021 to my families farm. The great things now, I have alot of land and places to walk and for dogs to run. I currently have another business that is flexible. I am able to work in to my schedule. I am able to work around my schedule to provide a great service for clients. All dogs are different. I try to do the same as a client would do in their home. Some may crate their animal for potty training or sleeping at night. I can do that. I have dogs who have their on space and bed so they know where their safe space is located. I am good about potty breaks and outside play time. As for client home visits and walks, clients usually leave instructions for their dogs habits and needs.

About: As an animal lover, I have had all types of experiences with pet care (unpaid), including caring for a baby chimp in Africa with depression and malaria. Overseas, I've had numerous opportunities to give stray animals a home and teach children to be respectful of all God's creatures. I would be honored to be entrusted with your pet. I am moving from NY to Tennessee shortly. Would like to continue to make a modest income doing something that I LOVE, in my new location. I will care for your pet as instructed and will be the best "substitute," for you, the owner/friend of your pet. In Tennessee my brother has three dogs and two cats that I will care for when they are away. Please check my calendar to see my availability. I am reliable, honest and will respect your pet if s/he were my own!
