Since I was ten years old, family, friends and neighbors have given me the privilege to help walk, feed, play with and bathe their pets. My sister is a vet, and growing up, the running family joke was that we owned a zoo since we had three dogs, two cats, a bunny and a horse. Being around animals from such a young age and at times helping my sister in her vet practice has allowed me to be comfortable with a wide variety of dog temperaments, sizes and needs. People who have hired me to watch their pets in the past have been impressed by my ability to provide them with personalized care. I consider myself a "dog person" and have found that dogs tend to gravitate towards me. As someone who considers pets part of the family, I understand how important it can be to make sure pets' needs are taken care of while owners are away from the home. I promise to treat your pet like my own and make sure they get lots of pets, play and love while you are gone.
