I've had animals since I was born: dogs, cats, a bird, a snake, rabbit, hamsters, fish and some other reptiles. While I was born and raised in LA, I just spent the last 3 years living on a ranch in rural Florida with a horse, chickens, emus, dogs and cats. So I'm a big animal lover! I have a cattle dog of my own (very hyperactive) that I recently adopted. She was a stray and has some reactive tendencies. I am very comfortable around dogs with high energy (puppies are great - mine is 9 months old) or dogs with trauma. Dogs are so sensitive to human energy and so I make sure to be supportive and make them feel comfortable around me. I'll make sure to give your pup tons of TLC and ensure they stay properly hydrated and fed. For house sits, I'm happy to water plants, collect mail, and ensure the house stays clean. I'm currently freely available and happy to accommodate your schedule. I will clearly communicate when I will arrive (I hate lateness) and will give you an update of our walk with photos and text! I'm happy to do other things as needed, such as feeding them or administering medication. I don't feel comfortable doing injections though!
