I am a lover of all animals. My family, friends, and colleagues would describe me as the most "type A" and detail-oriented person they've ever met. Your instructions for your pet would be followed to a T. I have had animals on a personal level my whole life. I am former elementary school teacher but, in the past years, I have been at home focusing on being a stay-at-home mom to my human and fur children. Let's just say, I am master of managing chaos! I can personally remember the onset of pure anxiety at the thought of leaving my puppy at home to go back to work for the first time. I found the sweetest, retired couple to come take care of her midmorning every day, and it put my mind and heart at ease while I was at work. I would like to be that person for you. I have a lot of experience with all the basics you will need from a pet caretaker. I am also very willing to follow all the specific training instructions you would like for your animal to focus on"(ie. leash skills, feeding specifics,etc.) I am very familiar with incorporating basic obedience training that your dog/animal is currently working on or has learned from a trainer. My current goldendoodle is a wild, energetic girl so we use a lot of them at our own home. I also am very empathetic and understanding of animals that need extra TLC or care. In the last few years, I nursed my late, goldendoodle through chemotherapy and cancer--she joined her brothers and sisters in heaven last year and will be forever missed. Animals have a special place in my heart. They love us so much and ask for nothing in return. I would love to add your sweet animal to my animal "love tank."
