Pet care experience

My House is Your Dog's House!

Very close to several parks and off-leash areas including Sewall Crest, Laurelhurst Park, and Hosford School. About this sitter: I have always been around dogs from childhood on. I grew up in a dog friendly household. My sister is an ace vet. and I've learned a lot from her over the years. I have done a lot of pet and house sitting recently and have been for thanked for keeping a clean house as well as attentive pet care. I also have a strong background in plant care and don't mind keeping an eye on your house plants and outdoor garden - in fact I enjoy it! I am self-employed and work on the computer a lot, so I can keep myself occupied if your pet is napping. And if your beloved animal is not a napper, I have plenty of energy to give your pet a lot of walks and runs. I'm an active person myself and frequently go on adventures both near and afar and welcome canine companionship. Why I love dog sitting Dog Lover since childhood. My sister is an ace Vet., which comes in handy for advice. Currently have a mature Italian Greyhound/Lab mix. About my pets My wonderful dog of many years passed away and I haven't found another one yet - she's a tough act to follow. That being said, I really enjoy having canine companionship in the house these days. About my yard Backyard is small and fenced. I walk my own dog three times a day.

I don't have any breed preferences, however my dog, Celila, seems to prefer the company of Golden Retrievers and she's very good with puppies and she's cat friendly.
