About: Lifetime of experience, including dogs with behavioral challenges and special needs. I've volunteered at local shelters, and I've fostered rescue dogs in need. I have quite a bit of experience with dogs of every background! I am currently a college student and taking some time off of work to focus on my studies and would like to make some extra cash to help pay my loans/carry some weight at my family's house. My family has quite some land, and although not fenced, I am very active and always run with my own dog on a leash. I do 30 minutes to an hour walk twice a day. Potty breaks are very consistent.

About: I’ve graduated from an Animal Science & Technology Program & have some experience with anxious dogs and dog aggressive dogs. I have also volunteered at a shelter that had Dogs and Cats. I have watched my neighbors dogs for a couple of years now. They have a dog who has been 12+ the entire time I’ve watched him. He’s now gone mostly deaf so I have small experience with that. Their other dogs is younger and a 100+ pounds. So I have experience with bigger dogs. I have 3 cats of my own and have watched some cats now as well. I also took care of cats at my old dog kennel job. I did have a hound dog when I was younger and a lab mix who was an escapee artist. So I’m very vigilant about closing gates and doors. I am hoping to make this a Part time job. I recently had to drop out of college because of my grades so I’m just trying to make a living doing something I enjoy. I will send daily updates to their owner. I will make sure to stick to the pets daily routines. I will try to walk dogs (and even cats) when the temperature allows.

About: Everything short of cutting claws and milking glands. We'll go out a lot together if that's what you’re after or stay in and play “hide the treats in blankets.” Skittish and vivacious canines welcome. I squeeze about thirty hours of my day job into odd slots around caring for my human and high needs dog. While taking two dogs on leashes to Vesuvius is probably a tall order, Central Bark or the Flatwoods dog park are no problem at all. There are so many rugs in this house that I don't care about that if your dog has an accident it is absolutely nothing to me. There is a 1/6 acre of about ten oak and maple trees directly next door for frolicking and my neighbor with her spayed female cat and fixed three year old Shepherd girl to walk over to. If your dog needs a little cooling off, most dogs like cooler conditions, and the five dollar coin op dog wash in Flatwoods

About: I was born and raised in the country, my papaw gave me my first dog when I was 5 years old who I named Charlie and told me that I was responsible for taking care of him. That's when I learned the friendship, love, and compassion that pets can behold. He was the 1st of many pets that I had, he lived till I was 17 and will always have a special place in my heart.

I will follow any and all care instructions given by the pet parent especially if there are any specific care instructions such as administering medications, avoiding allergies, and assisting with physical limitations. I will provide a safe yet fun and happy environment for your pet, making sure they are fed and hydrated while having lots of human interaction. It will be the next best thing to having their pet parent there with them. I can also communicate frequently with messages, pictures, and videos also giving you the peace of mind that you deserve.
