“Chandler is a caregiver and it shines through with the care she gave my mini schnauzer. He (King)…of the castle, can be a handful as other dogs pass along his walks (twice daily) but not with Chandler. Chandler had him charmed and behaving to please her-right away. Always on time and pleased to see King, I would highly recommend Chandler for the care of your beloved pet. King was always glad to see her!”

About: I have always had animals in my life, of various varieties. When I was younger I was the family/neighborhood dog washer/walker! As I got older my passion for animals grew and I began training my own pets and learning how to take care others. I have worked at a dog boarding/day care and it was the best experience. I have handled big dogs, little dogs and everything in between. I also have experience providing diabetic care to dogs. I am always AVAILABLE! Weekends and holidays will vary but I will always try be flexible with those hours if it is within my means at that time!! Thank you! My home is currently fenced and I do have a large neighborhood for long walks. At my home I have three fur babies of my own! Three neutered dogs (1sm/2Lg) and one spayed cat. I also have a turtle and gecko and would be willing and capable of providing care for all type of pets. I have toys and a nice warm bed for them to sleep in.

About: I love animals, especially dogs, more than words can express! We have always had small dogs in our family since I was born. I could never imagine living without a dog in my household. In fact I have always had my miniature schnauzers as my fur babies since my early 20’s. I also use my endless dog walks as another form of exercise especially with the awesome beach roads all over the island that we are fortunate to enjoy living on the island. Since I never had children I have extremely spoiled animals. Me and my husband are retired and I work a very part time job so have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. My husband may also like to join in with my walks as well to help keep your pooch entertained and continue with our daily exercise regimen. If your pet does not do well on long walks please mention that so we don’t wear them out too much! I would like to walk your dog on the beach or beach access if allowed. If you would rather we stay on the neighborhood streets that’s fine too! My house/pet sitting service will include feeding, playing, walking, cleaning up pet waste in yard or litter box and light housekeeping such as vacuuming up pet fur if applicable. I have a very flexible schedule. I do work a few days a week part time but only 4-5 hr shifts at a time. I would love to be your pet’s next best friend! I am an extremely anal retentive pet owner and home owner. I probably take better care of my pets than my own self! We do not miss any yearly vet appointments and are very attentive to any ailments that may come along. I always say the worst part of being a pet owner is when they have to cross the rainbow bridge.

About: Having owned 3 labs throughout my life (currently one lab and one yorkipoo) I have house trained and cared for all of these dogs with zero issues or emergencies and given them the most care and love they could receive. I take people fishing for a living, and with the season slowing down it gives me ample time to work side jobs in the off season, one of which I truly enjoy which is caring for peoples pets! I have two extremely friendly dogs (a lab and a yorkipoo) that absolutely love other dogs and are the most playful and gentle dogs you could imagine!
