“Salehin is a hardworking and creative person with a great heart. He loves animals and taking care of them. When he said he wants to take care of dogs I definitely wanted to support his creative idea. Salehin has a great backyard that is latched with tall fences.

9. Ashley S.
About: I've taken care of family dogs since I was eleven. I can watch puppies and older dogs. I'm usually very flexible and I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I am starting college so I have have to work around the days I go to school. That won't stop me from being able to check in on or walk your fur babies. I also will still be able to see my dogs too. For drop in visits and sitting I will be making sure they get food and water whilst their owners are gone. Letting them outside to go to the bathroom All and all making sure they are happy and healthy while I am there and before I leave. When I walk dogs I let them take their time to go to the bathroom maybe even play a little.

About: I’ve taken care of one shitzu and terrier mix and one German shepherd which are my uncle’s pets as he is most of the time on a work trip. I would looked after them on weekends and holidays. I’m used to feeding them, taking a walk and potty breaks and giving them a bath. Right now, I’m on summer break and I am not looking for a part time job or anything so I have lots of free time to look after your puppies! I don’t have any pets at my home but I’m confident that I can keep them safe and comfortable in my home! I’ll make sure to be tailored to any specific requirements or needs of each pet!

14. Faith B.
About: My friends always say I’m the biggest dog lover they know! I’m super flexible with days and hours, and I get along great with all kinds of dogs. I’ve attended multiple dog training sessions with my own pup, so I’m comfortable handling different personalities and behaviors. I’d love nothing more than to shower your dog with love and attention! It depends on the week but I am mostly free when needed! The days that work best for me are mon-Friday but I am free most weekends. In my home I’m sure to take my dogs out every 2 hours. I play with my dog a ton and always take him to the dog park or on long walks to get all his energy out. I am very affectionate with dogs and love to spend time with them.

19. Kelsi K.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 4 when I got my first dog. I currently have two cats and would love a dog but my schedule won't provide me enough time to take proper care of one. I am great with training puppies and giving medications. I’m currently a Preschool Intervention Specialist and have my own special education preschool classroom through Lima City Schools. I currently teach August-May. My availability mainly opens up during the summer but love to help out during the school year around my teaching contract. I look forward to working with you! I am currently off for the summer so I can attend to pet care as much or as little as you need. During the school year as long as your schedule works around my teaching contract, I will be able to help you out as much as I can! I have plenty of experience with small, medium, and big dogs. I would prefer to come to you but in the need to have your pet at my house, I am able to crate dogs as needed at my home as my house has an extra room. Plus my cats are very friendly or just stay to themselves so your animals will be in great care.
