Pet care experience
My focus is on treating pets as I would friends and family. For much of my life, I've moved on/off because I grew up in a military family and then later started jobs that required me to travel. Over that course of time, I've been fortunate in getting to understand (and evolve) how to be away from my pets and how to avoid feeling a huge amount of anxiety anymore when I leave them behind with sitters. In turn, as I've seen since sitting cats and dogs here on Rover, I've become very adept at offering that same feeling/security to my clients and It's been my great pleasure to share what I've learned with every new client/friend I meet. To give you more specifics on my sitting style: I work from home, at home a great deal (not 24/7), and have a dog park near me @ Villages at Domain. Your doggo will have some scheduled walks around North Austin and doggy companions on standby whenever they want to get some exercise/play. My favorite dogs (& humans) are those with shelter/rescue pups, but I accept all pups of all breeds and sizes. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. When it comes to dogs, I live by the golden rule, which says that I’ll always treat your pup as if they were my own family. I know how important every dog is to its owner, so it’s my duty to make sure they have all the happiness in the world! I love going above the call of duty for dogs, so it really just is second nature for me to spoil them a little bit. No matter what the situation may be, you can rely on me to be there for you and your pup without fail. Please let me know if you have any questions on anything and I'm happy to answer. Can't wait to meet you! Nothing is more important than getting quality time with quality people (or dogs or cats) and/or feel like you're in the right place at the right time. I want every dog or cat to feel like they're always in good company with me and hanging out with me is not merely a chore, but fun and exciting! No matter where I am, I practice safety and patience above all. Nothing should be more important than knowing nothing is worth rushing over and you should always act in the calmest mindset.

For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? * Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? * Is your dog spayed/neutered? * Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? * What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? * What’s the best way to spoil your pup?
A typical day
Among all the places that I’ve lived, Austin is definitely the best cities for dogs ever! There are so many great spots to visit and bring dogs to, so I never tire of getting out and exploring. Living on East 6th St is so exciting, as well, because it’s a perfect neighborhood for dog friendly foljs to meet with others since there's a small dog park next door to where we live and a Meetup @8-9pm every night next to Royal Blue Grocery with dog moms and dads from around The Arnold Apts and their pups to get together, let their pups meet and talk. It's such a joy to have such a community like this around and I can't wait to introduce your pup to everyone and show them what the East Side of ATX has to offer!
