I’ve always had a huge passion for taking care of animals, so being a dog sitter is a dream come true for me! Not only do I get the option to bring more puppy happiness into the world, I also get to give back to owners as well. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to be away from your best friend. No one likes sticking them in a kennel, friends can be unreliable, and trusted help is not easy to find. That’s why I’m here: to give owners and pups alike the peace of mind they deserve. In addition to being a lifelong dog lover, I have experience with tons of different breeds! I just love pups of all shapes and sizes. I currently own an American Eskimo, but used to have a Border Collie that I trained for agility competitions and grew up with a Belgian Sheepdog. Although I’ve helped care for tons of different pups, I tend to like herding dogs myself, but only because I like the challenge of getting to train them and how they keep me on my toes. But that’s not at the exclusion of any other kind of dog! If your dog needs a little extra training (leash, potty, behavioral, commands, etc) I am more than happy to help for free. However due to past experiences I will be charging a cleanup fee of $25 if your dog pees on furniture more than 3 times during their stay as I take them out every 2 hours guaranteed. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. When your pup is with me, I tend to over-communicate with owners. I know that it’s always a bit nerve-wracking to be away from your best friend, and I believe that the best remedy for that is tons of pictures and updates! I love taking fun pics of your pup and I together since you can see just how much fun we’re having together. I’m also happy to take copious notes on any details you need to know that your pup is in tip-top shape, so just ask!
