About: I am a stay at home mom to 4 kiddos and 3 dogs and now a kitten. We have 3 female dogs. Our puppy Evie, Makers and Stella. We now have 1 female cat named Indie. Our dogs love to make friends. We love to go outside and play fetch or water games with our dogs. We also love to take pups on walks around the neighborhood. If there are any special instructions please let me know. I have had dogs of all ages from pups all the way to seniors. Cant wait to meet your furry friends! I'm a stay at home mom with my 4 year old son and 3 school age kids. I'm available all day except during school pick up. We have 3 dogs of our own and they spend their days playing with my son, laying in the sun during the summer, playing in the water and just living their best dog life. We recently added a kitten to our mix and she is amazing. I will care for your pups like they are my own. I love animals! Long walks....let's go! Want to play fetch....ok! Do they need some extra cuddles while you are away....I can take care of that. I will do everything I can to make sure your pet feels calm and safe while you are away.

About: I love animals, I can get along with all types of dogs, cats, birds, lizards, etc. I have always grew up with having a pet or 2 ! I work mainly on the weekends! Giving me enough time during the week to care for your pets with my full attention, care, love, treats I have a fenced in back yard, I can easily crate your animal (dog, cat, even birds) with cameras to monitor if I step inside for any reason.
