My favorite part of dogsitting is heaping love on animals so they know they are well loved while their human is away - and the love they reciprocate to me during our time together! I love to take adorable photos of your animals to share from our visit. I did dogsitting in my home through Rover 2018-2020. I had to stop for a couple years once I moved in 2020. I decided to start doing pet care again in 2023 (dog walking, drop in visits, cat care, etc) to fill the animal-shaped hole in my heart! I've been a dog owner for 8 years now and lived with 2 dogs for 3 years. I raised my corgi Nyla from puppyhood, so I am intimately familiar with puppy care (all the ups and downs). I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. I've lived with a wide variety of dogs via roommates over the years, and spent a year before I got my dog researching and learning about dog training, behavior, psychology and body language. When dogsitting I worked with dogs of all ages, temperaments, sizes, and personalities. All my experience means I know how to listen to dogs well, understand them, meet them when they're at, and show them compassion at all times.
