About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I walk, feed, and love my pets everyday of the week. I have two ferrets as well as dogs. I have watched family and friends pets when they have gone on vacation and had other responsibilities. I’m very responsible and a big animal lover! I have school monday- friday but am always available after and on weekends! I can pretty much walk every 0-2 hours (unless in school) and feed when it’s necessary. I have a small piece of walking land on top of a big neighborhood that is pet friendly and safe! They provide treats and trash bags to pick up dog feces.

About: I have walked my neighbors and family friends dogs in the past and grew up around pets! I love to play with them and make sure they are happy and taken care of! I'm a current college student, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I only have class two days a week and I am available most weekends and evenings! I will make sure they are comfortable in their own home by gently introducing myself to them! I will make sure they do not get overheated or too tired on walks and during playtime and ensure they have cuddles when they want and time alone when they need!
