I can’t tell you how many times people have told me “Wow, this is so strange. My dog seems so calm around you. Usually, they're so unsure of people, but they seem to really like you!” The affection is mutual. After I had to say goodbye to the best dog of my life, I started providing pet care to other people's best friends. It helps me to fill that dog-shaped hole in my daily life. I will love your animals as if they were my own. I'm accustomed to providing medicine & love to animals, and I'm used to providing walks and care at all stages of a pup's life. I've also rescued & cared for 2 cats in my time. I am an artist and an English teacher, and I pride myself in being responsible, loving, & reliable. I work from home during the week, but on weekends, I work at farmers' markets, so will need to leave pets alone for about 6 hours at a time. For extended stays (three weeks or longer) I can offer a discount.
