About: Hey! My name is Neely, lover of all pups. I have been caring for animals for a few years now, and I truly believe I have a passion for them. While your dog is in my care, you will never have to worry! I’m available for updates anytime, but just know they are having fun, are safe, and are getting all of the love! I currently work from home, so I am available just about anytime throughout the week or weekend. I am single with no kids, so I have a lot of flexibility. I have a big back yard facing away from the road to allow room for your fur baby to play. I also have a spayed 1 year old mini dachshund that LOVES new friends and to play. With that being said, I can kennel / make arrangements for her to not be around your pup if he/she does not do well with other pups or has social anxiety. She stays with me and out full time typically, and of course, she would only accompany me in your home IF allowed by YOU. They will be well fed, well loved, and well taken care of.
About: i love all animals and i would love to get to know your wonderful pet. i have been taking care of pets since i was little. my mom and dad always helped me understand that if you want a pet you have to take care of it. so i would love to take care of your fur babies. i am a part time worker on the weekend night and a full time student at icc i love to take care of animals and enjoy being around them i will have plenty time throughout the day to take care of your lovely animals. in my clients home i will keep the pup on schedule. if they need medication and or special treatment it will be on time every day. we will take many potty breaks and walks.
About: I've cared for dogs my entire life, having learned about pet health through years of experience with behavior, illnesses, basic pet care (flea and tick control and heartworms) and medicine distribution. I currently have 10 of my own in a home shared with my parents. I have dogs that range from 25-150 pounds, so no dog is too small or too large! I have a hearty desire to ensure your pets are cared for just like they are my own! NOTE: I wish to visit your pet before your booking begins to ensure that we get along well and that you, the pet-owner, can show me the basic ropes (where food is located, what a routine day is for your dog or dogs, etc.) I WILL watch multiple dogs for you! I am a full time pet care provider and groomer. I do have a part time job that is only a few days a week, for a few hours. I have animals in a fenced yard as well as on a wireless fence with collar. I do not take pets into my home for sitting, but I gladly come to them.
