About: I’m an experienced animal caretaker and veterinary assistant, currently studying to become a licensed veterinary technician. I have over five years of hands-on experience in the veterinary field and offer a range of services including nail trims, anal gland expressions, sanitary haircuts, ear cleanings, basic grooming, and more. I’m also comfortable working with animals who have chronic conditions and have experience administering medications as needed. I'm CPR certified and will be able to take your pet to the closest veterinary hospital in case of an emergency. If you’re interested or have any questions, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to chat! I've always loved animals and my whole life revolves around them. I have a dog, 2 cats, and 6 axolotls. Taking care of them is the best way to unwind and get ready for my day. I could not imagine my life without them. My dog has supervised access to a fenced yard and my cats are indoor only. I would follow your instructions for how to take care of your animals to make sure that their routine is not disrupted, and to limit any stress that they may feel.

About: I have experience owning pets (especially dogs) my whole life! I know the body language of the animals to ensure mine & the dogs safety as well. I'm aware of all toxic foods dogs can't have, & I also have experience caring for dogs with diabetes. I have owned/cared for dogs of different sizes and breeds. I am a stay at home mom with an open schedule and a reliable vehicle. Therefore I have plenty of time to give to your dogs as long as they are kid friendly! For drop-offs, daycare & boarding: I have a fully fenced yard which is about 4 ft tall, so if your dog jumps my home may not be the best fit for your dog! I prefer your dog to come with a crate & a blanket to use when I have to leave my home for grocery shopping, running errands, etc. I do have one spare kennel i can use if you cannot bring one. I have two dogs of my own so separation is sometimes needed especially when I am not home! For in-home visits: when I drop in to let dogs I do have to bring my child since I care for him full time! I fill up the water bowl & let them outside to do their business. I usually stay for 30 minutes(unless requested for a 60 minute stay) to throw the ball/stick/play with them. Just to stretch their legs before having to go back inside. Then (if allowed) give them a treat and be on my way!

About: I have always had dogs growing up and in adulthood. I will treat them like one of the family. I can cuddle them if they seem frightened, help them become comfortable and love them like they are my own. Make sure to take care of all of their needs. I am retired and live on 10 acres in a beautiful area with plenty of trees. I will take them for a walk on a leash 2 to 3 times a day as I'm sure all the different smells and places to discover will be exciting for them. We can even go downtown and walk along the river path. This is the first time in my life that I don't have a dog. I would love to spend the time playing, walking and cuddling your sweet baby. I will take the utmost care and your dog's happiness and safety will be my first priority. Thank you! I am retired and currently have no pets of my own. I have plenty of time on my hands to care for a fury friend.

I have no problem with whatever sleeping arrangements you prefer, whether it be a crate, sleeping on the floor or sleeping in my bed.
