About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and horses since I was about 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I get along with any pet but also go at their pace varying on their needs. I am currently job searching and figured this would be a great place to start. I love working with animals and with my open schedule, I can fit multiple pet cares into my schedule I live on 100 acres with 3 horses who are desensitized to dogs. I also have 3 large dogs in my home as well. All friendly and love making new friends. I can adapt to your furbabys needs as needed. I do have three male dogs who get along with anyone and any pet and are always looking for a friend to play with but they also know to calm down for those older pets who need to relax.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, chinchillas and farm animals. I love to bring my sons along so they can love on the animals too (if permitted). We adore all critters and we will also travel for longer stays. I cannot drop in or walk before 7am or after 10pm - Otherwise I am flexible! Just ask me and we can figure it out I treat others pets just how I’d want mine to be treated - with patience and lots of love. I won’t rush my time with your pet!
