About: My dogs and I have been through AKC certified obedience training I'm experienced in walking multiple dogs at a time Can housesit and care for dogs with special needs Providing positive reinforcement and tasty bribes is my main method of gaining trust with a new dog friend. I'm open to meeting and discussing all forms of service ahead of time I have a flexible part time job that is generally from 9 - 4 Monday through Friday. These times are flexible so if you have a question about a particular day feel free to ask My 2 dogs and I walk almost everyday around our neighborhood just to get some adventure and smell some new fire hydrants. My house has a wood 6' privacy fence around the backyard and I have time to them out 5 or 6 times a day for bathroom breaks or to just run around an play. My dogs started being crate trained as a puppy but as they have grown older and more trusty we use them less and less. I use a lot of positive reinforcement and treat training to bond and build rapport. I feel comfortable around dogs of all shapes and sizes and would prefer to take care of new dogs in their home environment first. My dogs: I have a 6 year old 60lb female Portuguese water dog -- She's a big napper, cuddler and loves cats. My 3 year old, 30lb, male terrier mix is the feisty play pal that keeps everyone entertained.
“Mariah has been a 5-Star caretaker for my cats. I was in a bad situation--my air conditioning was out during this heat wave. Mariah accepted my three cats in an emergency--with almost no advance notice. More than that, she let me extend their stay--twice--when the repair people had to extend their work. She sent me photos--which meant a lot to me--and kept me updated. I couldn't ask for better service than I got from Mariah.”
“We needed someone to let our senior dog out once a day while at work. Chante has been amazing. She is very reliable and kind to our dog. I can't thank her enough for helping us out.”
“I always feel great leaving my dog in Leigha’s care since I know he will be very happy and well taken care of.”
“Nicole was great looking after our two dogs. Prompt and responsive, we and our two pups greatly appreciated her walking and looking after them.”
“She was amazing! She let us know anytime something happened whether they chewed something up or got a scratch when she stopped by. She was very communicative. We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’m really good with being patient and understanding with animals. I’ve had many difficulty animals and so I’ve learned to cater towards their needs. No animal is too difficult I’m currently in college so I would have to wait after classes or before classes. Most days I’m done with school at 12pm and I don’t have classes on Fridays. Unfortunately because I am living in a dorm therefore I cannot take care of pets in my home. Over breaks however, I have a fence.
About: My neighbors and friends of family have depended on my rapport with their pets and punctuality. I'm looking forward to meeting your four-legged fur baby! I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play and get to know your fur babies. Very dog friendly and I'm not too bad with cats either! my dog has an invisible fence that works very well which I highly recommend. we feed him his favorite dog food twice a day with honey!
“Danielle is very responsible and followed my routine that I use for my two cats. I loved seeing the photos of them. It made my time away from them a little less stressful. I would recommend her and I also plan on using her in the future.”
“Grace is amazing! She made sure to check in with me and give me updates while I was away. My fur baby takes a bit to warm up to people but she had no problem letting Grace pet her which is always an indication that Grace made her feel safe and comfortable ?”
