**Please note that as of early Dec 23, my dog has received her annual Bordatella as well as vaccination for Canine Influenza. I will require that all dogs be current on their Bordatella vaccination prior to engaging in a meet and greet. I highly suggest speaking with your vet regarding the canine flu vaccine as many boarding facilities (including my home) will likely begin requiring it in the near future.** I have been a Rover sitter for 5+ years and have worked with animals in various capacities for most of my life. My young son has grown up around all of our Rover friends and is an expert at being around even the most anxious dogs. Our dog Birtie is very sweet and accustomed to sharing her toys and humans and she gets along well with all dogs. We have Bark Box toys in baskets all over the house as well as tough bones for them to chew on. I never give them rawhide, nylabone, table scraps, etc. My prior experience ranges from pet grooming and nail trims to vet tech assistant and training my own dogs. I have also worked in animal rescue, fostered dogs, and have volunteered on the medical rotation at the Wake County SPCA. I have also sewn custom dog collars in my spare time over the years and donated part of my profits to benefit Bailey Chairs for Dogs. I have been a dog lover my entire life and will provide the best possible care for your pet, so that you can have peace of mind while you are away. Please let me know how I may best assist you.
