I am a long-time animal lover, and they've always seemed to love me as well. I have experience in dog walking as well as pet/house sitting, including special care for pets that are older, have health issues, and/or require daily medication. I am also a physically active person and an avid hiker, so I am more than willing to give more vigourous dogs the workout they need. Most of my work is done from home, so I am available for anything from quick drop-ins to longer-term round-the clock care, and my schedule is usually flexible. I am currently living in the Santa Cruz area, although I do travel quite a bit, and I am open to caring for cute doggos wherever I travel. I am also experienced in caring for plants, so plant care is also included in house sits when applicable.
