My availability and schedule are extremely flexible. In addition to being an exceptional listener/communicator, I am also very organized and attentive. I have a natural love for animals and understand the different ways in which pets need to be taken care of. My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet sitting. I have been a dog walker/dog sitter for 10+ years. I also have cared for many other pets ranging all the way from cats to turtles (I even have a pet hedgehog), but dogs are my favorite. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". I grew up with a household of furry friends! They bring so much joy and happiness to my family's life. Seeing their little faces everyday just puts a smile on my face! The first time I was asked to pet sit was when I was about 11 years old. I would pet-sit for her often, so she trusted me while they were away. I began to offer neighbors in addition to other family and friends my services at a very young age, and I have loved it ever since. I also have a full reference list at your request!
