About: With over 10 years of experience in pet care, I have had the privilege of working with animals of all sizes, from horses to kittens. My expertise spans a wide range of animals, allowing me to understand their unique needs and behaviors. Currently, I work at a dog day camp, where I am entrusted with the care of over 30 dogs daily. This responsibility requires not only attentiveness but also trust and reliability, as I ensure each dog receives proper care, exercise, and attention. My years of hands-on experience have honed my ability to manage different animals efficiently, making me a skilled and dependable caretaker. Whether it's a playful puppy or a seasoned adult cat, I strive to provide a safe and nurturing environment for all the animals under my care. I currently work part time at a dog day care service and am available anytime after 11:30 am. An early start to the day for work leaves me with the majority of the day to care for cats and dogs alike wether it’s a 30 minute walk, a quick welfare check or pet sitting for a few days I am fully prepared to give your pet the attention and time they deserve! I am clean, observant and responsible. Animal care has been a part of my life since my childhood. I have also worked in multiple settings to do with animals throughout the years. It’s important that we keep our babies happy and healthy!! And that’s my goal!

Im happy to give exercise or comfort, whatever is needed. I can do some behavioral training as well. Im happy to adapt to whatever needs present themselves! I'm currently back at my parents house, waiting to join the Navy. I have plenty of free time and would love to spend it taking care of our furry friends! I have been traveling all over the country the past ten years, taking care of others pets and houses. This includes large lands, with chicken, goats, compost...the whole thing!

About: Your go-to for loving, personalized, and reliable care for pets of all shapes, sizes, and species.
