About: In 2012 I got my little Yorkie Paisley from a place called Puppy Town. Over the years me and Paisley has grown close and she has become my best friend. Within a few days, I had housebroken her, at first she didn’t know how to walk on a leash, but was practice and patience, she became a master of walking on a leash to the point that she enjoys walking.

I’m afraid to clip her nails so I will take her to Banfield hospital to get her nails clipped. Over the years Paisley became older, and her eye sight has declined, so every morning I have to take the time to take her to her food. She knows where the bathroom is at, but sometimes she’ll have accidents and I have to be patient with her and I have to clean up her accidents and I have to keep an eye on her at all times to make sure she doesn’t hurt herself. Her food and water is still in the same place however, I had to rearrange some furniture and things to make it easier for her to get around… Every summer, I will purchase flea and tick protection, cause I can’t have no pests bothering my baby!

About: I’ve worked at a Veterinarian for about 3 years and at a doggy day care for 2 years. At the veterinarian I was kennel tech and vet tech. I helped care for boarding pets which included of feeding, changing litter boxes/ walking dogs, and giving medications if need be. At the doggy day care it was very similar. I ensured they had fresh water at all times, cleaned up after them, and fed them while being under close supervision to prevent any unwanted behavior. I currently have open availability. I am attending school but can accommodate both our schedules if need be. A 3 day notice would be needed in advance. I will make sure to clean up after your pet(s) and ensure they have a clean and safe environment. Wash their bowls after every use to prevent any spread germs. Provide mental and physical stimulation daily. Ensure the home is well taken care of and up kept.
