I know just how difficult it can be to be away from your best friend when you’re away for vacation or work. That’s why I’m here: to make that time away as easy as possible! I know first-hand how sad you are when you leave your best friend behind, and it’s always difficult to find quality care for them too. Friends aren’t always around to help out, and no one likes to stick their pups in a kennel. That’s what inspired me to become a sitter! I have a huge passion for making sure that dogs are happy and healthy! There’s just nothing like bringing a smile to a dog’s face, so I can’t wait to do the same for your pup! I’ve been a lifelong dog owner, but have tons of experience taking care of them to boot! I currently live alone with my two dogs, a Maltese and a German Spitz, and they are the lights of my life! However, I grew up looking after pups and have experience with tons of different dogs, from Chihuahuas to Huskies! In addition to taking care of these pups, I’ve also been a volunteer for the Suncoast Animal League, where I took in and fostered pups in need. I just loved this experience so much, and it definitely confirmed my wish to see every pup be happy and healthy at all times! I’ve also been a long-time dog sitter for friends and family, and now I’m very excited to extend my client base and help more pups out. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. I believe that the cornerstone of any good stay is communication. For me, good communication begins before your pup comes under my care, as I love to get as much information about you and your pup right off the bat! Getting a good idea about your care expectations is just as important as learning about what makes your pup tick. With that information in mind, I like to start thinking as early as possible about what a dream stay would be! During the stay, I like to send regular updates with accompanying pictures, so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having together! In addition to pictures, I like to send detailed information on anything you need to feel in the loop—from behaviors to meals to exercise times. Going the extra mile is just what I do best!
