I've grown up around and always had dogs in my home. They have been my roommates; travel, hiking and camping companions; partners in agility and mutual protectors. I volunteer and provide contracted support with AKC/UKC dog shows and assist local dog clubs and eye clinics. I appreciate the loving nature of pets and can usually win over the most apprehensive breeds. I treat all 4-legged friends like I would my own. I have experience with raw diets and basic medical care (if needed). I'm active and playful so typically a great match for most fur babies! Whatever their preferred activity, I'm willing to indulge them. I often house/pet sit for most of my friends, so accustomed to staying overnight and providing personalized care as requested. House sitting includes bringing in mail and newspapers. *If you have a dog park nearby (driving distance okay if dog(s) rides okay), my goal will be to spend hours there, letting your dog(s) play to their hearts desire so their home alone time is resting and recovery until you return.* Thank you for considering my services and happy "tails" to you!
