Even with everything going on in the world, I am still here to assist! I had previously lived with and took care of a Yorkie-Maltese mix named Sebastian for 4 years. I am great with dogs of all sizes and personalities and love spending time with new furry friends. Sebastian meant a lot to me but unfortunately moved on due to cancer years ago. I now have a 10 year old mini Aussie named Oona, who is sweet and easy to get along with! She is my little baby! Dogs are an important part of my life as I have always dealt with anxiety. I have found canine friends to make a world of difference for me for so many different reasons. I would love to help take care of your pup as well! Love cuddling, playing, walks, hikes, beach time and making your animal feel as loved as they make you (and me) feel. I would be happy to board your pup at my town home for short trips or stay with them at your residence while you are gone; whatever is best for you and your pet. I have a comfortable setup with plenty of space, a fenced in area, and am in walking distance of parks and trails. I spent months working alongside a certified dog trainer and business owner on basic behavioral obedience, etiquette and best practices. This has helped me better understand, communicate and work with dogs. I also have some previous retail experience within the industry working at Petsmart. Please also note I have experience with very large dogs (150lb plus) as well, including Mastiffs, Newfoundlands and Great Danes. I am happy to provide references if you would like :) I work remote/locally here in San Mateo, so I am pretty flexible providing services in the general San Mateo and surrounding areas. I have a fairly flexible work schedule as well. Happy to review this with you before booking! I think this depends on the type of service I am providing and any specifics you potentially need!
