As a dog owner myself, I understand and appreciate the time, attention and commitment that is required for caring for a beloved pet when the owner is away. I love to be around dogs and have had dogs the majority of my life. I grew up "pet sitting" for family members which included dogs, cats and horses so I am very comfortable around different types of animals. I have a very open/flexible schedule. I am a runner as well and am more than happy to run with dogs requiring a more vigorous work out. I have good communication skills and will provide updates and pictures throughout my visits with your furry family members. I look forward to the opportunity to spend time with your pet.
