I've loved dogs my entire life and got my first dog when I was 10, after years of researching breeds and trying to instill my passion on the rest of my family. Since then I have not only devoted my life to making animals happy but also expanding my knowledge and experience of all things pet related, including working in boarding facilities, as a walker, house sitter, and even in retail pet stores. Right now, I personally own two dogs (an American bully puppy, who is an aspiring UKC show dog, and a Central Asian Ovcharka). My skills include a vast knowledge of dogs (including dog breeds, care, basic training techniques, canine behavior, and puppy and senior dog care), experience with reptiles, cats, rodents, and arachnids, very good housekeeping skills to maintain your home while you are away, and the ability to multitask and watch many pets at once. I currently have availability Monday through Friday between the hours of 9am and 4pm, weekends fully free, for walks and drop ins, and house sitting I am available to do as well on an open schedule. I have many years of personal and professional experience with handling dogs, so I’ve picked up a lot of tips for ensuring safety on walks and during sitting. I will follow all rules you give me, and beyond that, your pets will be treated with the same care I treat my pets.
