I have been around all kinds of animals since I was a baby. I have raised around 6 dogs personally and have had over 12 through my life. I have also taken care of cats, horses, turtles, fish, deer, pigs, cows, chickens, a couple of pet birds, the occasional lizard and snake, and for a very brief time a monkey. Dogs have always had my heart though. For walks and drop-ins I have a flexible schedule in the early mornings and evenings starting around 3 p.m. For walks, it will depend on the dog and the weather but we can go around the neighborhood, park, or for a hike if the weather is nice. Usually around 15 to 30 minutes. The walks will be solo for larger dogs and group hikes for smaller dogs. If you dog is larger or pulls I just ask that you provide an appropriate harness for walking them. For drop-ins and pet sitting, I will be sure that your pet gets food, water, walks and treats if applicable as well as plenty of attention, play, and affection. In addition to taking care of your pets I am willing to do light housework, bring in any mail/packages, water your plants, shovel snow or other small various chores depending on the service requested.
