I'm a long-time pet lover. I grew up and cared for my lab retriever Lucky, who I miss dearly. I cared for her for over 10 years as she grew older. I currently have a lagotto romagnolo who is 16 months old. So, I also have plenty of experience with puppies. I have many years of experience caring for family pets, and I watch animals for friends when they are away from town. At my last home, I adopted my neighbor's cat part-time. He lived with both of us and we shared responsibilities caring for him. I also helped care for my former roommate's cat. I enjoy making new dog pals, and I like staying fit with them - so you don't need to worry about them getting ample exercise! We are very lucky to live in such a dog-friendly area, so I am happy to bring yours to a park or for a hike. I will give your pet the care and attention they needs, so you can enjoy your time away from them stress-free. I'm happy to stay in touch via text and send updates to put you at ease.
