Highlights
Pet care experience
Better with dogs than people!
I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, sizes, behaviors, and energy levels my whole life—chihuahuas and shepherds, labs and hounds, aggressive and friendly, excessively dependent and independent. I grew up with four large rescue dogs with their own individual needs, problems, and behaviors, and my experience with them and the little jobs I’ve had have made me an extremely versatile pet caregiver! Whatever you or your pet need, I will do my absolute best to supply.

Safety, trust & environment
**Dog walking is included with check-ins and house-sitting if requested! I will not charge extra if you need your pup(s) (or cats!) walked on top of other care needs.** As I said, I’m versatile in pet care and willing to do whatever is usual for your dog’s routine. However, as a standard: 1. Usually when I walk dogs, I let them lead—I’ll still maintain control, just let them go the direction they prefer, as long as it’s safe! I’m careful to avoid other dogs and people. I love taking dogs on wilderness trails and jogs especially! 2. For overnight stays, I encourage pets to sleep at least in the same room as me, so I can keep a close eye on them and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. 3. For housesitting, I always make sure to stay tidy and put things up where pets can’t reach them. 4. I do not yell at or hit dogs. When correcting behavior, I stick to positive reinforcement! 5. If a dog is anxious, upset, or injured, I make sure to maintain a calm and quiet environment and treat them as needed. 6. Whatever your rules are, I’ll follow! I want to make sure your pet(s) feel secure and safe during my time caring for them. 7. Any housesitting I do, I try to spend minimal time away from pets. They’ll be given constant attention!

Schedule
I’m still in high school, but I have plenty of time before and after school all week! As well, I have plenty of free periods throughout the school day to come and go as needed. The family dogs have always been my responsibility, and likely will until I’m moved out of my parent’s house. Pet care is always part of my routine and I would love to be able to have your pets part of it too!
