About: I have been watching my neighbors dogs for the past 17 years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. Since I am young and active, I can take your dog on walks and provide plenty of exercise throughout the day. Additionally, I can provide overnight sitting and ensure your house looks occupied. I am more than happy to bring in your mail/packages, water your plants, adjust the blinds, turn on and off lights, bring garbage cans to the curb (and back) for trash pick up. I have a cat of my own named Oliver so I also have years of experience with cat care! I can come check on your feline friend and will feed, refresh water, play, and clean the litter box as needed. I am very free during the summer. During the week I can stop by anytime during the day, as well as provide overnight care. I am also free most weekends. I understand it is hard to leave your furry friend so I really do go out of my way to put pet owner's at ease. I will consistently provide updates and photos so you know you are in good hands.
