About: I’ve always been an animal lover. When I returned to Washington in 2013, my roommate, who had show dogs, taught me how to raise them for two years. I’m a dog enthusiast through and through, and life feels incomplete without a furry companion by my side. Currently, I’m unemployed and studying for my real estate license exam, so I have ample time to dedicate to my furry friends. My schedule is flexible and can accommodate any pet’s needs. When I take my furry family for walks, I ensure we both wear high-visibility gear so that everyone knows I’m carrying precious cargo. I’m also a vlogger, and I love sharing memorable moments with all my furry mates..

I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs and love going on walks, playing, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I’m home from college for the summer, so I have a super flexible schedule and am available most days, and almost anytime of the day Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow care instructions closely and create a calm, positive environment so your pet feels secure and loved while you’re away. I treat every animal like they’re my own!

About: I have had pets since I was born, and from age 5 I started to help withtheir care. I have always had a deep love for animals. I have had cats, dogs, guinea pigs, mice, rabbits, etc. I may not be a professional, however, I believe I am pretty knowledgeable about cats and dogs, their care, and some training. I am coming home for the summer so I will not have school or any other work, so I can put a lot more time into pet care, for my family's pets and others. Lots of play, cuddle, excercise and attention. What ever the pet needs and wants, I try my best to fullfil. If they need to let out energy, let them play in the yard, if they need alone time, let them nap, etc. Lots of toys and enrichment activities, and lots of love.
About: I've grown up with animals , guinea pigs , fish and a dog. So I've been around them my whole life. Which taught me a lot. Well I'm getting on here to be more of a dog walker so I'd be doing this more in the afternoon. That would make sure I can give all of my attention. What's most important is take make sure the dog feels comfortable, make sure there hydrated, give them attention, some food and a nap to replenish after the day.
About: I’ve always had a pet growing up, and I have learned all the responsibilities of taking care of one. From taking care of a puppy , to giving an older pet medicine. I’m a school bus monitor, it is a part time job. I work from 7-10am , then I get a 3 and half hour break and then go back from 2-5. I am able to check on your pets at different times a day. I have a fenced yard, 2 well behaved dogs and a cat that basically loves every animal they interact with. I will make sure to carefully follow any instructions for your pet needs for them to have a safe and happy stay.
