I am a teacher that loves pets, especially dogs! I own a 2 1/2 year old border collie and have owned dogs my entire life. I grew up watching and taking care of all sorts of animals ranging from dogs and cats to llamas and horses! I understand should your pet ever need to be cared for by a stranger, he/she is deserving of a safe, fun-spirited atmosphere. I strive to work with you to ensure your pet has access to all of his/her needs and maintains all training regiments you value in your own home. I care deeply about balancing flexibility and boundaries when it comes to pet-setting! Should you wish to book with me, please note that I will make sure your pup will be fed, walked, and played with according to the schedule you keep at your home. I live in a house with plenty of space, and a good-sized backyard! I love to get outside and enjoy Colorado, so if you're in need of giving your dog a little extra exercise, I'm your man! Whether that is in the form of hikes, walks, or runs I am happy to help! I live walking distance from the Poudre Trail, so that is often my walk of choice. I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I love a good game of fetch, tug-of-war, or just giving a good belly scratch. I think your pet will love me just as much as I will love them! I appreciate communication and transparency in the dog-sitting process and encourage you to reach out if you have any questions prior to or during your booking.
