About: I have had an enormous love for animals ever since I was little. When I finally adopted my own dog, I finally understood what level of trust it takes for someone to take care of your animals. I would provide the level of care that I would expect for my own dog! I love walking and running and enjoy cuddles just as much as my dog does. I have worked really hard to teach my dog proper manners and tricks and understand the dedication it takes to own an animal! I hope I can be the extra set of hands that your dog may need!

I can also provide extra tasks that may be needed while you are away (watering plants, cleaning, giving a pet a bath, etc). When watching pets in their home, I keep to their schedule as much as possible. Schedules are important for animals and can help ease any anxieties when their owners are away! I want pets to be as comfy with me as possible!

About: Hello there! I love all animals! During the school year I am a special education teacher and so I am not home enough to have my own pet. Growing up I’ve always had dogs and so I miss spending time with dogs. So many of my friends have suggested being a pet sitter! I have a pretty active lifestyle, and I do like going for walks or runs with animals. I think I am pretty playful, I could honestly play with animals for hours. I am a fun lover, but also a rule follower, and collaborator so I will work with what you, your pets, and/or house may need. I am excited to start this journey and work with you! Thank you for reading this!
