I can also medicate your pet if necessary. I have experience both with elderly animals and very young.

About: I have always enjoyed spending my time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in elementary school - sadly he recently passed away - but since coming to college I have been missing my sweet fur baby. Being able to play with and care for someone else's pet while also earning extra cash would be an ideal job experience for me. Getting a new pet really isn’t an option for me right now.

In the past, I have dog sat for other friends and family and I really enjoyed it and having the extra company is always a plus!

About: I grew up raising dogs, both taking care of the family pets as well as raising puppies for my grandmother repeatedly. I also have some experience in dog training I work full time, but only four days a week. I can always check on animals in the evenings and I always have Friday/saturday/Sunday free for pet care In a clients home I am respectful of the space that’s there.

“Brianna is amazing and took care of Theo at our home! It was nice to let him stay at home with her so he could have fun ,play and hit the dog park! She is our go-to person for everything and very appriciated!”

I currently volunteer at the Toledo Humane Society to walk dogs and I have loved it. I am currently studying at the University of Toledo with online classes. I am always looking for more ways that I can get extra exercise and spend time with pets. I grew up on a farm and have so many great memories taking care of all the many animals we had. I miss my pets at home so I hope I can care and walk your dogs like I have for many years at home. Taking care of animals fits in to my schedule in the mornings of most days because I am not busy until evenings and I would love to use that time to take care of animals that may need a friend while there parents are away. I love taking pets on long walks where they can get all the zoomies out. I always start with saying hi and giving them a much needed welcome treat with some pets. I then will have doggy poop bags if needed on walks with some extra treats along the way.
