Greetings! I am a full-time librarian who is presently an empty (pet) nester. For pet-sitting, I have a large fenced backyard and a comfortable, relaxed family environment. For dog-walking, I love to walk in the early mornings or evenings outside of work and the gym to avoid the hot pavement on little paws and the relentless heat of our sunny Florida. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I grew up with cats, boxers, and an English bulldog and did drop-ins for my grandparents’ animals whenever they were away on vacation. As an adult, I’ve been blessed with an adopted Staffordshire terrier mix, a chihuahua, and most recently a retired racer (neutered greyhound) who made it to the ripe old age of 13. I enjoy caring for the needs of my friends’ pets when they go out of town and have experience giving medication to both cats and dogs.
