I truly love being around animals and caring for them - it makes me happy and always puts a smile on my face. Dogs give unconditional love and I do the same back to them. Besides personal passion and experience, I pet sit for my friends and my family. Even in college with a full load of classes and 2 part time jobs, I also ran pet sitting business with a friend, and handled many clients per day. From cats and dogs, large and small, horses, and homes as well. If you know me, you know me as an animal lover and I am the person that you think of when you need someone to care for your pet, or pet related question. I have two sweet Chihuahuas (rescues), two bunnies (rescues), and two aquariums with large fish. I am also the person that people bring injured animals to...I had a pet squirrel for this reason, and a feral cat as well because they were brought to me by neighbors hoping I could care for them. I have two chihuahuas at home and we have a routine - When I leave for work they are sad, but they know they get a treat as I walk out the door. I come home for lunch to check on them, but they are content sleeping on my bed in their little beds. I usually take them with me wherever I go because they are part of the family. I have had dogs my whole life and did the same with my previous dogs, (a husky and lab). My pets always live a long life....I pay attention to their behavior and can tell if something is wrong with them just by looking at them. I have a tender love for dogs and all creatures great and small. I typically work from 8 to 5 but have flexibility so can be home when I am pet sitting, take the doggie to work with me and adapt to the pet's needs. On a typical day, since my dogs are happy sleepingwhile I work, I come home at lunch to walk them or just to spend time with them. I am very responsible and will do what I promise to do. I communicate best via text but can be reached by phone and email as well.
