Ever since I was a child, dogs and cats have been a massive part of my life. Over the course of my life, I have owned 3 dogs, one of them raised as a puppy, with her twin brother living only a few houses down with a family friend. I have learned over time to pick up on the tricks and cues that make dogs tick (I even enjoy watching animal training videos in my spare time!). Even if a dog is antisocial, I can find a way to work around it. On top of my experience with dogs, I have several years of experience with catsitting - including with three cats that did not get along, so I am well aware of what scenarios I may face. That being said, same with dogs, I am well-versed in picking up their body language and understanding their boundaries. I currently work as a freelance worker after graduating college, so I really can adjust my schedule to you and your pets needs. Send me a message and we can discuss! If I had a general rule for myself, I'd say I'm usually not available till 7AM, and the latest I can do a walk is 9PM. When I'm doing a stop in visit, I want to make sure your pet is lavished with attention - and even when your pet does not want attention, I find that it's important to at least stay in the room with them. Just because an animal isn't cuddly doesn't mean it isn't enjoying your presence!
