In my past experience as a Pyrenees/Akbash Dog owner, I found it challenging (and nerve-wracking!) to find a sitter that understood dogs with difficult behavior or social needs. I am passionate about providing a stress-free and secure experience for both dogs and their owners, so please let me know what you need from me, including individualized playtime/feedings, a “chill out” room for overstimulated dogs, or awareness of territorial behavior. I will make special accommodations in my schedule (no more than one at a time), to ensure safety for everyone involved. Every owner deserves emotional security!

A day in our life: I’m an early riser, avid gardener, and I love spending time on hiking trails or at the river. My car is outfitted to fit 3 dogs; I converted my backseats to be dog-friendly and stable. Jackie and I go on 5+ mile runs almost daily, and we live within proximity of several parks and dog parks (let me know if you’d prefer to avoid dog parks, I get it!). Nights are for dinner, cuddles, and bedtime in a quiet environment. This schedule works for my house or for visitations to client residences, and is subject to change to meet additional needs.
