About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember due to my family being a large animal/pet family! I regularly care for and walk my friends and neighbors animals! I am a college student with a ton of down time and free time in general. I am always free after 12pm and usually only have classes for at most 3 hours in the mornings!

About: I have been around animals all my life growing up on a farm. My mom was known for always taking strays in so we had an abundance of dogs roaming. We had multiple dogs of all different breeds from big dogs to little. I have two little boys of my own and they definitely keep me on my toes. From broken bones to running around the park. I definitely know my way around to giving the best care any baby needs. I have gained knowledge over the years of how to give the best possible care each and every dog needs. I am a stay at home mom. I am home around 99% of the time. Me and my sweet baby love to do our walks and we enjoy being outside. We definitely don’t mind being some couch potatoes. We’ve had our fair share of energetic, lazy, and disabled animals. I am an all over dog lover and I can give the best possible care each and every dogs needs. I have a fenced backyard and I do also have a crate, if needed. I have plenty of toys and simulator mats. I have plenty of experience with high energy dogs.
