Hello! I've been a dog owner for more than twenty years. For the past ten years, I've been providing pet sitting services to friends, family, and neighbors. I have owned/worked with puppies, adults, and senior dogs. And my experience doesn't end there -- I have also cared for birds, cats, and even the occasional fish! As the owner of a Siberian Husky, I'm no stranger to dealing with stubborn, intelligent, and high-energy dogs. Not only do I find daily exercise essential, but encourage the use of enrichment toys and activities! I also have a crotchety, 15 year-old lady cat who hates fun but has a heart of gold. So if sleeping on a blanket all day except for snacktime is your pet’s jam, I can do that, too. A few years ago I was a full-time sitter for a Weimaraner puppy; a position that required a daily weekday commute, assistance with housebreaking and basic training, and lots of daily exercise. On the flip side, I have also taken care of senior dogs that needed to be given medication (including insulin shots) and have needed extra help due to blindness or walking issues. I have also administered topical sprays, foams, and ear drops to my feline friends. I also have experience with different types of dietary needs/restrictions. Anyone can give your pet a bowl of kibble, but I have also administered raw food diets and prepared/cooked meals. I am very mindful of pets with digestive issues and allergies and will never give your pet any food that isn't part of your plan! As a freelance artist, my schedule is flexible. I can usually fit you in with at least two days notice. Contact me and let's talk all things fuzzy!
