Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs dig my vibe!
I grew up in the middle of nowhere with two adorable cocker spaniels that could drag you down the street if they saw a rabbit and you weren't firm. I love to go for a quick run AND have a little meandering stroll around town. My local friends know exactly who to ask to spend time with their cats and walk their dogs while they're away: they ask me, because I've never met a dog that didn't want to be my bestie or a cat that didn't want to hang out near me.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
In my client's home and on walks I prefer to go by the particular needs of the pet and the instruction of the owner. A dog that needs a slow introduction can have a hand or a hat to sniff and check out, and I ALWAYS let a cat approach me first.
Ratings and reviews
Althea has been our long term cat sitter, so there was no doubt in our mind that we'd be asking them to help us with sitting for our new pup! Our girl is pretty shy, but they really took the time to make sure April was open to their presence and trusting of them before we left. Definitely looking forward to continuing to work with them as our dog walker and sitter now that we have this pup!
They are a very kind, patient and caring individual that puts a lot of intention into the care of anything they do! Your pet is in good hands with them! They were very responsible around my traumatized elder kitty. Big on communication and doing things responsibly.

Schedule
I work on-call and on Saturdays, which means that I can prioritize walks and check-ins during your Monday-Friday 9-to-5, or even your 5-9.
