There’s just nothing better than spending time with a lovable pup! I always want to provide for them, so being a sitter allows me the opportunity to bring all the happiness in the world to pups in need! They’re always so giving, and they’ve inspired me to do what I can to give back as well. But really, I think Milan Kundera summarized my thoughts up well: ““Dogs are our link to paradise. They don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring — it was peace.” Although I love dogs with all my heart, I also have tons of experience taking care of them. I started pet sitting nine years ago, and have spent almost a decade in service to dogs! I am a former vet tech as well, and spent most of my time taking care of ill animals and assisting in surgery. Since then, I’ve volunteered with local rescues and have spent lots of time taking in and fostering rescue dogs in my own home. I also have years of experience in positive reinforcement training (including leash training), so your pup will be in good hands no matter what. Now, I’m just a happy puppy parent to a loveable Corgi named Freddy! 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. I know that no one likes to be separated from their best friend, so I’m here to make that time as easy as possible! For me, that means excellent communication. I personally always want to know what my pup is up to, and that’s what I provide for owners as well! Detailed daily updates are all part of a day’s work, and I’m happy to give parents information on everything their pooch is doing. Of course, that will always include tons of great pictures so you can see just how much fun we’re having!
