About: I've always loved dogs! I have dog sat for friends and family alot in the past. I wholeheartedly feel that home isn't home without 4 paws and a wagging tail by my side. I recently moved to the area and haven't started working yet. I'm available anytime as of right now. 1 day would be preferable prior to the day of services but I am willing to do same day bookings. I have two boys ages 5 and 7. They have grown up around dogs their entire likes and love animals just as much as I do.

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was very young. I’ve watched friends pets when they go out of town and I currently have my own cats and a dog! I’m currently only working part time and from home, so I will have plenty of time to spoil your pups with all the love and attention they deserve! I have a tie out for potty time, as well as extra leashes for walks since I don’t have a fenced in yard! I also have a friendly pup that would love to keep yours company and play!

I have taken care of the once all of my life.So I understand where and what they need, justby a whimper a bark or a look.
17. Peter A.
“Pete did a great job with my hyper intelligent dog dahlia. He cared for her for about 6months before my work schedule calmed down and allowed me to be home appropriately. He even taught her to stay out of the kitchen to avoid tripping hazards and any accidents. (she is as much of a foodie as I am)”
18. Amy H.
“Amy was just what we needed for Molly and Arthur! She stayed with them for the whole time we were gone. She’s incredibly intuitive of their personalities and what they need almost immediately! She’s totally focused on our babies needs, playing, exercising and most importantly loving them! We don’t expect newbie’s to be able to walk them both but she volunteered and accomplished it with no problem! Great example of excellent experience we highly recommend!!! Love you Amy! Thank you!”
