About: I've had dogs my entire life, of all sizes and ages. Beyond caring for my own pets I have fostered and pet sat for multiple people through out the years. I worked and volunteered for a local pet shelter which exposed me to many different dogs Im currently a stay at home mom that enjoys doing small jobs on the side, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. There will be times when school is not in session that I may have my daughter with me. If that won't work for your pet let me know ahead of time. Being that I have a flexible schedule with a kid and pets of my own stopping in to care for your pet and/or dog walking is the best option for me when starting. Once me and your pet form a relationship I am open to house sitting at my own home if I think temperaments will work for us!
