I have had pets since I was a child and make them part of the family...they are so loving and deserve to be a major part of our lives. I have been a pet parent as well as a pet sitter my whole adult life. I have extensive experience with dogs, including toy breeds, Boxers, and my most beloved breed, German Shepherds. I know this seems to all lean toward canines, but I also love cats and have 2 in my house as well, Harry and Harriett. The mischievous prowess of these hunter/cuddlers never cease to amaze and enamor me! I have been a pet sitter for friends and family for many years, both dogs and cats, and would love the opportunity to meet you and your furr baby to get acquainted and learn what is most important to you in entrusting their care to me. My pup, Sadie, is crated during the day while I am at work. I do work Monday through Friday, but live close enough to accommodate a potty break, if needed. I am home every evening and on the weekends. I will follow your routine while your family member is in my care. I only have puppy food in my home, so you may prefer to bring your dog's food. We have oodles of treats to share though!
