About: I've been taking care of animals since I was a senior in highschool! I've always loved hanging out with animals and turned it into a job! I've watched family members animals, friends, and now I have repeat clients that I provide care for! I've worked at dog daycares, and volunteer at the animal shelters.

I've watched anywhere from 2 dogs at a time to 40 in one place! Currently I've just graduated college, so until I have my adult job I'm completely free! So weekends, weekdays, or holidays I'm free! I have three animals of my own but not to worry my roommate takes care of them while I'm away! Every pet sitting job I've taken, I have always organized a emergency strategy. Clients phone numbers, local phone numbers (or trusted neighbors) in case of emergency, and a talk about what to do if any pets need to take a trip to the animal ER.
