It's hard to pinpoint what I love most about dogs! Their smiles, their companionship, all their different quirks and personalities. Nothing is as loving and loyal as a dog! I became a pet sitter because there’s just nothing more gratifying than getting to provide the love and care to a pup that needs it. As a dog mom to three of my own dogs (a Golden Retriever, a Dalmatian, and a Heeler/Terrier mix), I know just how important it is to make sure that your own pups are taken care of in a professional and loving way. I make my own schedule, so I typically am very open and flexible for lots of fun during a stay. That makes me a great fit for pups that like to have plenty of interaction throughout the day, since I’ll be with them for the majority of the day. Since we’ll have plenty of time together, I always like to update owners by way of text, picture, or video messages to let you know how we’re getting along and what adventures we’ve gotten into that day! I am a very outdoorsy person and love to stay active, so we’ll have plenty of opportunities together to have some fun in the sun! I always like to go for a hike on the Greenbelt or perhaps to my favorite park on Lake Austin, which is doggie heaven. I am rarely anywhere without my dogs, so your pup is always welcome to accompany me on an adventure! Nothing makes me happier than seeing a big happy smile on the face of a dog. I have a huge fenced yard but I am also open to taking dogs on hikes and runs. I have had people tell me often that they would love to come back as one of my dogs in a second life because we have so much fun together!
