I am a very enthusiastic dog lover with several years of experience and a passion for pet care. I rescued my dog Zuma a few years ago; when I got him he was VERY shy, and since that time I've successfully brought him out of his shell—he cannot get enough play time in with other pups! He loves to make new friends and is a very social boy, which puts other anxious dogs I’ve sat at ease. I have a lot of experience making space and understanding anxious and shy dogs’ body language and needs. As a helicopter dog mom, I have read a significant amount regarding the best methods for caring and interacting with dogs, and have implemented them successfully with Zuma and dogs I've sat of varying sizes and temperaments. I am available and interested in not only pet-sitting, but giving your dog a memorable and enjoyable experience that makes their time away from their parents more fun! In my time sitting, I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs: puppies, elderly dogs, dogs with special needs, etc. Zuma and I would love to spend time with your dog, and I think your dog would love to spend time with us!
