Pups are simply our best friends! They’re there to help you in the tough times, and always ready to make us as happy as can be. They’re a blessing to us, and their selfless spirit is amazing. In fact, it’s what inspired me to become a dog sitter in the first place! I believe that dogs just want to be loved just like us, and it’s my duty to provide that to them. I love bringing puppy happiness into the world, so being a sitter really is a dream come true for me. Although I’ve been a lifelong dog lover, my experience with pups doesn’t just end there! I’ve had many dogs throughout my life, but unfortunately don’t have any of my own right now. That allows me to give your pup my full and undivided attention and love! Also, I currently work at a veterinary clinic as a vet assistant, so I have plenty of experience providing professional care to pups in need. I'm currently in school (online) to become a vet tech as well, so the training just keeps on coming! I’ve also worked at PetSmart as a professional pet bather in the grooming salon. No matter what, your pup will be in great hands! 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. When your pup is under my care, I always put their safety first and foremost. I make sure to bring extra slip leads with me when I take the dogs out for walks, as you just never know when something like that is going to come in handy. When we’re out and about, I tend to just keep to ourselves. Most dogs are friendly, but I never want to gamble on your pup’s safety. I also make sure to monitor the dogs, especially since it has gotten hot to make sure they're not spending a lot of time in the heat. Lastly, I am always open for any concerns or questions, so never hesitate to reach out and ask! Likewise, my vet experience allows me to spot anything out of the ordinary, so owners will always be kept up-to-date on anything that they need to know.
