I've cared for dogs since my childhood, and have my own pets (4) now. I'm patient and understand what they need and want, and how to move around them. Of my boyfriend and I, my cats much prefer me because I know how they want to be petted, when they want to be left alone, etc. And DOGS! I love dogs and love working with them. :) I love being outside with dogs, too, for walks and games and just enjoying nature. I've done in-home dog-sitting for a young Lab a few times as well, so I'm good with keeping your pet company in your home. I'm currently a teacher off for the summer, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets and give them an extra daily dose of love, attention, or exercise that they need. I love walking, so I'm happy to give your pet some exercise, but I'm also happy to just play with cats and hang out with them for a little extra TLC while you're working or out and about, during the day or in the evenings. I have a 10 year old Lab/Spaniel mix and three tabby cats, so my house is already full of animals, so I can't host yours here, but I'm happy to hang out with or exercise your pet in your home/neighborhood. I'm very clean and respectful of privacy, since I also AirBnb my home and understand the importance of those things. Caring for my own pets, I cuddle them when they're in the mood, walk the dog 2-3 times a day for a few miles as well as play fetch until he's too tired in the backyard, and the cats get to roam the backyard when don't feel like napping. It's a happy animal house here, and I'm excited to take care of your pet to keep them happy, too.
