About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the last 10 years. I travel quite a bit for work so dog walking and caring helps me get my doggy love and fix while I am local. I love animals and I am ready to shower your fur baby with love and fun (also treats if they are allowed) I’m great with all breeds and can’t wait to get to know your fur baby! I’m a production artist that works from home and travel quite a bit so I love to take on other peoples pets so I can get my doggy fix. It’s a win win. I have plenty of time to play catch, snuggle, give treats and all the love and attention your pet needs. I make my own schedule so I have the flexibility to give him/her all the love! I take daily walks in the neighborhood with or without a pet so your fur baby will certainly get all the exercise they need. I have a fenced in backyard if needed and a park around the corner. I can crate if needed. Long walks and great at keeping schedules
“Zariah did a great job watching our girls, including dealing with one's upset belly during the first few days of our weeklong trip. Lots of communication and she stayed at our house for basically the entirety of the time we were away. A+, Zariah!”
About: I've always taken care of Dogs, Cats, etc. Over the years, even sometimes taking care of multiple animals at once. I'm very kind and attentive, often prioritizing their care as frequently as possible, to make sure they're happy and healthy. I consistently believe in a natural approach that doesn't impede on my ability to do what needs to be done for myself while facilitate the needs of any animal in my care. I usually follow what is instructed of me while making sure that any pet I'm watching is well-tended to and given lots of love and care; I'm not known for slacking. Doubly so, in regard to ensuring any animal I'm watching is safe, happy and comfortable and I'm well-aware of what is happening, involving them, at any given time.
