About: I've had at least one pet my whole life. I grew up with an older dog that gave me a safe and comforting feeling. I am well experienced with different personalities and ages. I make sure my pets have been taken care of and also played with, that they feel loved and safe as my first dog had made me feel. I wake up fairly early at 6am to 7am. I make sure my animals are let out and fed soon after. I make sure throughout the day they have been given plenty of time to exercise and play before bedtime. The first thing I would do when first meeting a new friend is to not rush into it. I'd get to know them and their routine especially cats because they don't like their routine changed. They would have all their needs met even if it was specific on time and amounts. I would give additional attention and care for your pet because they experience a lot of stress while their owner is away.

About: I have worked at an animal clinic before so I have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and breeds! I have also helped with some of my friends and family’s animals while they have been gone! That includes bathing, feeding, walking, and spending quality time with them! Animals is one of my biggest passions, and I hope I can be help to your family! I just recently got a job as a grooming apprentice making my way to be a groomer as well! I just started becoming a grooming apprentice as of April 2025, I am making my way to be a groomer and I work every weekday from 7:40am to around 3-4:30pm each day. I am a part time college student. I have classes on Wednesday and Thursday nights! I am available everyday of the week besides the nights I have class form 6–10. On Sunday I go to church from 10:30/12 so that’s the only time I’m busy on Sunday’s as well! I’m looking for a full time job so my hours may change here in the future! I have a fenced in yard with two playful dogs! If needed I do have crates that they can be put in! I also am not far from a dog park!
