I've trained puppies and adult dogs and taken care of cats since I was a child. I'm comfortable with administering medication and adapting to any special needs of your pet(s). I do have a small dog of my own, so if I'm housesitting I would need to take him along. For walks and drop-ins I can leave him at home or in the car if your pets aren't good with other dogs. I am an active person and enjoy taking long neighborhood walks and hikes. I had a big dog for many years who trained me to get outside, rain or shine. So I'm accustomed to rain gear, headlamps, and glow-in-the-dark chuck-it balls to make it through our Washington winters. I've recently decided to leave the corporate world to start my own business, so Rover is great for me at this life juncture since I adore animals and have the flexibility to drop-in, walk, or housesit. I'm currently living in the Olympia area and open for drop-ins and walks within 10-20 minutes of Olympia. For Housesitting, I'm open to travel up to an 1.5 hours from Olympia for a few a days stay.
