I have always had a dog living in the same space that I do, wether it be my own or that of a housemate's. I started pet sitting during college, especially in the summers when everyone would travel to festivals and I would throw puppy parties at my house for their furry friends. Since living in Portland I have had the pleasure of house sitting for various people and enjoying the company of their pets. It's important to me, especially as a pet owner, to help people feel reassured that their animals are cared for in their absence. I have experience caring for dogs with various personalities and needs, from social anxiety to leash aggression. I also have experience administering medications and tending to wounds.
