About: Instagram— stays_with_rose . Growing up I had many outdoor dogs and cats, one indoor dog being a senior pug. Once I separated from the military I got my first indoor cat, a medium hair American Tabby. Then a couple years ago I adopted a puppy and signed him up for training classes however due to COVID, those classes got canceled and I did all the training myself. It was a blessing though because after doing so much research, not only did I learn how to train a dog, but I also learned behavioral signs and can apply that knowledge to other dogs in the community. I am not a licensed trainer but can share what I learned if asked. I have been watching other dogs (family and friends) since I was in high school and into adulthood dealing with many different breeds and medical issues. I do love all animals though and am willing to watch more than just dogs and cats if requested. PLEASE READ ABOUT MY SCHEDULE **PLEASE READ** I work full time, if you're needing your pup or cat watched during the week then you must know I won't be home full time. Because I work full time, your pet will most likely be kenneled during that time unless they are nondestructive and can be left free in the house. I walk my dog and other clients dogs at least once every day and we have a few hours of playtime as well. On weekends, my time is devoted the animals, we go on at least 2 walks daily and play on and off throughout the day. Walks: Weekdays I can provide a walk when I'm off work at 430pm and on the Weekends I can provide walks usually at any time depending on other clients. Drop In Visits: Weekends: any time, M-F: 630-730am or 5-530pm or later While I do not have a fenced in yard, I do have a lead that my dogs get hooked up to and they get taken for many walks. I do not use chemicals in my yard or have toxic plants in the area. I have a second living room that has all the dogs toys and kennels. Pets are allowed on the furniture in my home and would most likely sleep in the bedroom. My dog sleeps on my bed but I know not all dogs like that so I do have a dog bed in my bedroom as an option as well. Cats have their own bedroom. Cats tend to be very picky about their environment, so my spare bedroom has been transformed into a cat room. I have scratching posts or cat trees throughout my home to offer the cats options. I understand how stressful it can be leaving your loved pet with others, and I understand how expensive it can be as well. I'm open to negotiations if you're in a tight spot.
About: I’ve worked as a veterinary nurse for 10 years and have worked with every size, age and energy level of dog and cat. I’m well versed in walking, bathing, potty training, and mind enrichment exercises, as well as multiple behavioral and medical conditions. I love caring for animals and have 2 cats and a dog, Siberian Husky, who needs a lot of activity and are spoiled daily. I know how to give medication, if needed, and how to deal with emergency situations. I can send pictures and videos daily to keep you updated. Your beloved furry family members will be well taken care of! I am available most days for the summer and can do morning, afternoon, and evening care. You can message me for further questions about scheduling. Let me know your pets daily routine they are used to, so I can stick as closely as possible to it to help them keep as much normalcy to their days as possible.
About: With over 13 years of experience and specialized training in dogs that have anxiety, aggressive termed dogs, and highly active dogs, I promise your pup will be loved and cared for no matter their personality!

Please message me prior to confirming a booking to ensure that our schedules will align :) I am currently a student with a highly flexible class schedule, so I will have lots of time to help take care of your furry friends! There are some days during the week where I have longer periods of class, but feel free to reach out and we can find a schedule that works for you with my year-round availability! additionally, my rates might vary for drop in or walk services depending on your distance. This is to help me cover cost of transportation and to help pay for the additional time spent traveling to or from the visit. Thanks for understanding! I place a strong emphasis on safety first, and do not take animals to places they are not used to or would not be comfortable in. Having worked with animals with all types of social backgrounds, I am well experienced in ensuring the decisions I make are the best possible choice for your pet.
About: I've been raised with all kinds of dogs since I was young, from Pomeranian to Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I'm familiar with puppy behaviors, as well as care for elderly dogs. My days off are Monday & Tuesdays to give me plenty of time to care and play with your pets in the early mornings to overnights. Otherwise I currently work in the community Thurs-Sun 8am-5pm with Wednesdays being 12-5, though I'm able to step away for any walks, drop-ins, or play times needed! Please reach out with any scheduling requests and I'll do my best to accommodate for you! I prefer crate trained pets, much like my own, but I'm comfortable being around free roam and cuddly buddies! If given enough time in advance, I would love to meet your pet beforehand to ensure a comfortable and informative visit for the both of us.
