Pet care experience
I began dog sitting to earn some spending money when I was still in high school and have been hooked ever since! When I went to college I continued to sit and walk dogs, to break up the monotony of lectures and studying. After I was out on my own, I began working in the veterinary field (while still dog-sitting on the side of course) and learned a lot when it came to dog health and behavior. During my years as a veterinary assistant, I became comfortable with many different health issues and am comfortable with special needs, elderly dogs, and those requiring medication. After 5 years as a veterinary assistant I sadly had to step down as the long hours were no longer sustainable after the birth of our son. However, I am now at a desk 9-5 and often able to swing home on my lunch break for a quick potty break. This allows me to know exactly when I'll be home in the evenings for drop offs and pick ups and not wondering if I will be asked to stay late that particular day! I am currently not able to spend the night at doggies homes as I have my own family responsibilities at home but am able to stop by a few times a day if your pup is more comfortable at home. Typically these visits are limited to 30 minutes or less for feedings and potty breaks so that I can get home to take care of those boarding in my own home....that and a restless toddler away from home has little patience for prolonged visits. I am thrilled to meet your fur baby and make him or her happy and comfortable while you enjoy your trip, guilt-free. Happy Travels!

Thanks for agreeing to take care of Nala with a very short notice!❤️
Nala liked Abby right away which is unusual for her. I can tell Nala was happy to see her in the pics that were sent. Thanks for making my girl smile!
Fantastic with my baby! Abby is patient and works very well with Paisley.
Miel loved Abby and was friendly and loving from the moment I drove off, which is rare for her! Thank you for taking my baby while I was out!
