Due to my experience with both short and long term house sitting, I'm great at caring for all sorts of pets. Dogs are my favorite, but it is worth nothing I have experience caring for cats, chickens, goats, and even worms. I am an active animal lover who enjoys walking or running with dogs. I find that I connect with animals quickly and have respect for their routines and personalities. Growing up, I was always around animals. I am eager to get a dog of my own when the time is right. Right now, I am so thankful that so many owners trust me to care for their beloved pets! It’s a responsibility I do not take lightly. I am comfortable watching dogs of all sizes and personality types. When I lived in Minnesota, I frequently spent weeks sitting a 3-year-old German Shepherd named Chunk. He needs extra long walks (even when both had to wear boots!) and extra attention, and I was happy to oblige! I am experienced at administering pet medicine but to be absolutely sure, I would like to discuss this responsibility and assess my qualifications on a case-by-case basis. I work from my home office and have a flexible schedule. Watching a dog in its home is ideal for me because I find the animals are most comfortable that way! As for walks, I have tons of experience keeping dogs safe and active. I'd love to know your shared favorite neighborhood route! Looking forward to helping out and meeting your pup!
