I love puppies! (Every dog is a puppy to me, no matter their age.) Their lively energy, loving presence, and unique dispositions wore me down long ago, and having pups in my life is a high priority. Since I frequently travel for work, I’ve discovered that pet-sitting is an ideal solution to my need for puppy time and your need for consistent, reliable care. I’m overjoyed to be able to get my puppy fix while providing a much-needed service to owners! I’m responsible and patient, and I strive to have my clients know they can rely on me no matter what. You should never hesitate to reach out and ask for my help! Whenever I’m caring for a dog--either at my place or yours--I’m incredibly affectionate. (I might need the cuddle sessions more than the pup does!) I could spend hours petting or playing with a dog and never get bored. I also love taking photos to share with you and to remember all our fun times and adventures. I’ve owned a German Shephard Collie mix, a Beagle Lab mix, a Huskie Lab mix, and a Yellow Lab. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, including with senior dogs who require medication. I’ve learned several tricks over the years for getting stubborn pups to feel at ease with me and to make med time stress-free. I’m moving to Brewerytown at the end of January. The neighborhood is up-and-coming, with lots of amazing changes underway. Its proximity to the Art Museum area and the Schuylkill River trail are exciting, and Boat House Row is one of my favorite places in the city to visit. Nighttime walks to view the lights will make for sweet puppy dreams, too! I’ll be checking out the dog parks as soon as I move in; I can’t feel that I’ve gotten my bearings until I know all the puptractions. I’m looking forward to testing them out with new canine friends! I also have a collection of dog toys for stays at my place, or we’ll play with the toys they have at home. When I’m not pet-sitting, I’m usually traveling for work. I love exploring and seeing new places. At home, I enjoy crafting, reading, or studying for my graduate school admissions test. I love taking a pup out for long walks at least once a day. Most weekends, I’ll be able to stay home with them all day. *Please note: I work outside the city, so I am away from the city from approximately 7:30 - 6:00 pm (Monday - Friday).
