About: I love being around all animals. I have been a pet sitter for 15 years off and on while being a hairstylist full time. My schedule is finally flexible enough to get back to pet sitter! My work schedule is flexible so i will be able to check on and be with your pet for all their needs! I leave work daily to walk and check on my own dog. I’m very comfortable dealing with all dogs of all sizes. I’m able to adjust to their environment and make them feel less anxious about being separated from you!
