I have had dogs in my life since I was a child. As an adult, I have helped raise and care for a few dogs of my own and I often petsit for my friend's dogs. I worked at PetSmart for 4 years, primarily in the grooming salon, interacting with pups on a daily basis. My availability at this time is flexible as I am just getting into the petsitting arena as a business so please don't hesitate to contact me with questions. I am also a skilled groomer and had a lot of experience working with scared and nervous dogs and feel quite confident in my ability to handle most dogs as well helping them feel confident with me as their handler, even for just short time periods. I also enjoy taking photos of pups when they are out and about and will probably have some to share when your friend comes home.
