I have had years of experience working with animals. Because I work for myself your dog is with me 24hours a day, where I go, they go. Everyday I take the dogs on at least one 45minute to an hour walk (depending on your dogs abilities/health) either on leash or to a legal off leash dog park depending on the dog. Prior to moving to Austin I was doing large and small group walks in San Francisco for over three years. I use only positive reinforcement when working with animals. And can guarantee your pets will get nothing but love and attention. My home has a private yard, it is spotless, warm, and full of love. I also do in your home boarding and "wellness visits" for clients who just need a visitor during the day. I am licensed, insured and bonded as a profession dogwalker/petsitter. About this sitter: I have worked with animals my entire life, and for the past three years I have worked exclusively as a dogwalker/petsitter. There is nothing I love more than caring for animals and consider it a blessing that I can do so full time. I use only positive reinforcement with animals, and am comfortable with all breeds and sizes. Since I only take on one client at a time I guarantee your pet will be with me 24hours a day. Where I go they go. Let me shower your pet with love and attention while you are away. Because of unlimited patience and an understanding that every animal is different I excel with puppies, older dogs, and pets with "special needs". I send daily photo updates while your pet is in my care, so you can keep up on all their fun. In addition to sitting I also offer private walks and wellfare visits for those pets that do not need or want all day care. I have worked for over three years as a large and small group dogwalker and pet sitter, but have worked with animals both professionally and as a volunteer for most of my life giving me extensive experience as a pet-sitter, foster parent, and volunteer. I have worked with animals as large as cattle and as small as goldfish. I am licensed, bonded and insured as a dog-walker/pet-sitter. I believe on in positive reinforcement and providing a loving environment where a pet can only excel. Why I love dog sitting I have loved animals for longer than I can remember. Growing up in rural Texas my parents used our property as an animal shelter where we would foster up to 15 animals at a time ranging from rabbits, cats, dogs, to even the random turtle. In High-school I worked with the FFA taking care of sheep, pigs, and cattle. I have fostered dogs with behavioral issues, worked as a dogwalker, and volunteered at local shelters my entire adult life. Caring for animals is just a part of who I am. I couldn't imagine a life without having an animal to love. About my yard My apartment looks out on a sunny grassy field specifically for the communitie's dogs. But I also take the dogs in my car on daily trips to the park.
