    “Keep It Pawsitive 🐾”
    Hello Everyone :) I’m into tailoring the care I provide for each pet. I love being intentional and making each step count. I work with many animals who are often times overlooked. I go out of my way to make them a main priority. I love every pet receiving the full care they deserve while providing many updates.

    “Discipline and kindness are two words that should always be linked!”
    Hey you! Yes you reading this! Looking for a dog walker/babysitter/trainer up for any challenge? (My specialty may be dogs but I’m more than happy to take care of cats as well!) From the smallest cuddliest pooch to charging beasts who absolutely must sniff every single bush they come across... I'm the doggie caretaker for you! Currently I work at a dog daycare as a hands on supervisor! This has given me endless opportunities to interact with dogs of every breed and personality. I’m certain I can click with any kind of dog I’m introduced to! Patience, kindness, and plenty of treats can certainly go a long way!

    “Days won’t be ruff with me!”
    Hi, my name is Blakely, and I'm currently a grad student majoring in Biostatistics at the University of Louisville. I own 4 dogs, two cats, and have had other animals such as gerbils and rabbits. I’m a huge animal lover and I’m willing to take care of any animal I get the chance to. I’ve been raised around dogs my whole life and research information about them in my free time because I believe the more knowledge I can have about an animal, the better. I’m comfortable not only providing the basic food, water, and exercise requirements but also any medicine that an animal might require, as I have experience doing this for both my dogs and my cats. I know leaving pets behind with a stranger can be scary, but I promise I’ll do my best to provide the same level of love and care that they would normally receive.
