About: I am very lovable and caring for dogs. Most of my life, I had dogs living with me and cared for them. I currently have a dog that I love and care about. I am good at walking, playing, and bathing dogs. I am available in the mornings and early afternoon during the week and weekends. I currently work full time at another job, so some weekends I am available for longer hours. I have reliable transportation, so that wouldn't be an issue for me. I have past experience with house sitting with a dog, since I helped a friend a few times. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you for reading my profile. Hope to here from you soon.

I currently work part time Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. Sometimes not all three of those days. Work is on Burbank and close to home. We currently have 2 dachshunds, and looking to have a corgi in the near future. We take them out for daily walks, and have an open area with leads.

About: Studied at The Ohio State Agricultural Technical Institute. I have previous experience working in a dog kennel at Sharon Center Veterinary Hospital. Am comfortable with injections and giving other forms of medication via pill and topical. I have experience working with nervous and excited dogs, young and elderly, even disabled. My number one priority is the animal's safety, after that it's all about When a pet comes to stay at my home they receive lots of belly scratches, the occasional treat (if you allow), and play time. My number one priority is safety, I have baby gates and unsafe items out of reach. I have two friendly elderly dogs, a cat, and two well behaved children. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I allocate time each day for feeding, playtime, walks, and grooming to ensure my pet's well-being. In both my home and my clients' homes, I tailor my care to meet the specific needs of each pet. This includes feeding, grooming, exercise, and any necessary medical attention. I also prioritize creating a comfortable and safe environment for them to thrive in.

We had to go out of town for two weeks and leave our 13 year old lab at home with a relative. Sylvia came to the house to feed, give meds, take walks with her and give her the attention, that she craved. Sylvia sent us pictures and videos of their time together. She adjusted her schedule to give additional help when needed. We were at ease knowing our dog was in such capable hands. We highly recommend Sylvia.

About: I've had two large-breed dogs for about 7 years. I'm experienced with their training, but also how dogs interact with other dogs and people. I'm familiar with walking large dogs and keeping them safe when exercising. I'm detail oriented, responsible and thorough. I am flexible with scheduling and have reliable transportation. I understand feeding schedules and can accommodate a schedule that fits your pet. I have availability during the week and weekend. Within my home, I have a fenced in yard, doggy gates and am always sure to keep their information up to date. I'm careful with closing doors and keeping pets leashed to make sure they are safe on walks. I'm aware to keep a safe environment and put food and other things they could get into away.

About: I have 2 dogs and a cat and take care and exercise them. I help my mom while she's sick walking and bathing her Pitt with severe separation anxiety. I love animals and have a soft spot for gentle giants. I am a stay at home individual and love to walk during warm days and take dogs to parks and play fetch. In the spring and summer months my dog goes to the dog park twice a week and gets his exercise. I wake up and take my 2 dogs bathroom and then they get breakfast and play then go out to the bathroom at lunch and get a treat when brought in. They play and lay around then at 3 go potty again and I feed them a little more to hold til dinner then at dinner they get one last feeding then at 9 go out one last time before bed.
