I’ve always loved dogs, and getting to take care of them is so wonderful and rewarding. My inspiration for taking care of pups first started through my late grandmother who owned a farm. As a child growing up, we would play in the farm and help her clean up and care for her many animals. I always formed very tight bonds with them and considered them part of the family! I was raised with my pets at home and always owned a dog personally. I feel that dogs are so important for the love and tranquility that they bring to a household, so getting to give that back to them really is a dream come true! I’ll be the primary caregiver to your pup. I currently have 5 Chihuahuas that “guard” our house, but are really the sweetest babies ever. They are very independent but absolutely love getting to have new friends around! In terms of experience, I’ve been a long time dog owner and have tons of experience through dog sitting duties. I've worked with many breeds, ranging from Labradors to tiny pocket pooches. I have never actually had any bad experiences with any dog at this point, so getting to be a sitter is just an amazing experience. I once even fostered a Beagle, and it was just amazing he was adopted 2 months later. I loved watching him transition over to his forever family. 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.
