Hello! There is nothing I love more than spending time with animals. In fact, my dream is to own an animal sanctuary. Right now, I am working as a naturalist elementary school outdoor education teacher, but hanging with kids is no substitute for hanging with animals. I have been working professionally with dogs and cats for over two years, previously working with a dog sitting org alongside rover, which led me to be first aid certified for pets. I am gentle (but firm when necessary), kind, and patient, and I will care for your furry friend as if they were my own. I have had experience caring for animals from age puppy to elderly, including dogs who are sick and require constant attention and regular medication. (My family's dog has seizures). I understand each and every dog has their own special needs and wants, and I will try my best to get to know those and ensure they have a great time, whether it's only for a short walk or a whole night. My home is smoke free and plant based, and I have a fenced yard with shade and a park just a 10 minute walk away. If you'd like I can take your buddies to the dog beach, on a hike, or just a head-out-the-window ride in the car (:
