I am an assistant professor at MSU and truly pet sit only because I love animals! Growing up, we had a cat and dogs in the house. Five days after college graduation, I became a cat mom. I now have 2 cats, Daisy and Orzo, and one dog, Wally. I have provided pet-sitting services since I was a teenager, often for neighbors, friends, and family. I am extremely responsible, reliable, conscientious, detail-oriented, warm, and compassionate. I am able to provide drop-in visits, walks, and occasional boarding. To board your dog, it would need to be cat-friendly and dog-friendly. Wally is neutered and friendly. He does really well with all dogs, except those who are aggressive or intimidating. He does especially well with smaller dogs, or those who are submissive. The cats don't care, and they have no problem letting dogs know if they're being annoying :) When boarding dogs, it is important for me to know whether they are house-trained, crate-trained, and whether they deal with separation anxiety. When boarding dogs in my house, I am extremely mindful of how well they get along with my animals. If your dog is high anxiety, has separation anxiety, or has any aggression issues, they are not a good fit. I am sure they are sweet babies, but my priority is my own pets and my sleep! :) I have experience giving medications to cats and dogs (including insulin injections). I am happy to pick up the mail, water plants, feed other critters, or other small tasks that would make your life easier!
