I grew up with dogs and cats, and spent much of my childhood around horses, chickens, ducks, goats, snakes and more! There has rarely been a time when I have been without an animal by my side, either as a roommates or my own. I also have lots of experience looking after other people's pets, including neighbors, family and friends. I absolutely love all animals, and can’t resist giving them all the love and attention I can give. I always try to respond to each animal’s unique needs, and do my best to respect their body signals. I’m also a very big outdoors person, so I would love to take your dog outside, maybe even on a hike, and give them all the space they need to get their energy out! In all, my visits will always be filled with engaged and loving care! I also put a lot of value on reliable and open communication on both ends. I want to listen to you and learn as much as I can to take good care of your pet!
