Dogs are my favorite people.
Pet care experience
I have spent my life with pets. I've fostered for rescue, worked with several pet food companies and am very educated in pet nutrition. I've volunteered at my local humane society. I'm an experienced pet handler and have worked with a pet relocation company providing boarding and long distance ground transportation. I have and excellent knowledge of dog breeds and breed specific behavior and needs. I treat every animal I work with as if he/she were my own. All animals in my care are treated as royalty. I have a special love for senior and special needs dogs and always welcome them for services. I will always treat your pet as a member of the family and take extra special care when taking them on dogs walks and transporting them. I'm bonded and insured and a member of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters
Reviews
Would not recommend. Apparently she didn't realize that just because she didn't set the ADT alarm during the day, didn't mean I couldn't see how long she was at my house. The only pro was that she actually showed up every day. But 1-2 minutes outside when we you not going to come back for 7 1/2 hours is unacceptable. This happened more than once. I had to have my daughter drive 30 minutes at 9pm to meet her at my house so she could get a spare key "just in case". I was a nervous wreck my whole vacation. All I did was watch the camera to make sure she was gonna actually show up. What was suppose to be a relaxing weekend cabin getaway ended up a nightmare. ?

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In home boarding and daycare are cage free. Pups are crated at night for sleeping depending on how many dogs are in the house, how well I know them and of course, what they're sleeping preferences are. I'm not a fan of crating pups unless its necessary for health and or safety.
