I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was young, as I was often put in charge of watching my childhood pet while my parents were out. Currently, I have a boxer puppy named Jake who I’m training and raising! Outside of my own dog, I provided in-home care for a senior dog with vision and hearing impairments across a 2+ year engagement spanning 30+ stays. I maintained a half-hourly outdoor schedule and structured feeding times; provided attentive supervision and companionship tailored to the dog's special needs. I’ve also taken care of cats. I fed them, kept their water bowel full, cleaned litter boxes and spent time with them while the owner was away. I’ve been trusted with full home access by multiple clients, including keys and alarm codes.
