I've always had pets for as long as I can remember. I got my first dog when I was 3 - a Collie named Max - then a German Shepherd named Rex. They were my best friends at that time. I also had a cat, Marusya, who lived with me for over 10 years and when she left my world turned upside down. Living in New York city I co-owned an adorable kitty named Puppy(greyish kitty on one of my pics). My friend/roommate and I called her Puppy because she was the most gentle and playful cat in the world and loved to be around people, just like a dog! At the moment I am the happy mother of a good boy Arlo (he is in most of my pictures, partly looks like San Bernard) with whom I try to spend as much time as possible. Besides this I sit some of my friends dogs while they are away like this German Shepard baby Ollie in the pic( Update: my sweet Ollie past away taking my heart with him), young puppy Diesel and numerous amount of other furry beauties here and there. So no worries, your pet (dog or cat) is in a great hands! I feel comfortable with pretty much all dogs and cats. I feel a special bond with each of my furry client and already after one meeting I am treating them like my own pup or kitty, trying to provide them with as much fun as I can. I usually running with the dogs (if they are in good physical condition) so they can get tired after my visit and not to feel so lonely staying home :( If we are not running I at least trying to let them do their thing and sniff around as much as they want - because you know, that's what they do :) so let it be! The world would be a better place to live if there were no unhappy animals. There is no bad animals - there is bad environment. I currently have no full time job. And it means I have plenty of free time on my hands! I can take care of few pets at the same day and willing to stay at your place if your furiend need some security at night time! Also dog boarding is possible if your dog is not too active, because my boy Arlo is very shy and does not like to be disturbed or even playing with other dogs (little weirdo!:))) Staying at clients houses I behave very respectfully regarding personal stuff of the pet's owner. I trying to spend as much time with a pets as possible and trying not to leave them for too long. I am keeping the place clean in the end of service, avoiding any mess on a property. I have a nice house with a huge backyard and 6 foot tall fence. We live in quite neighborhood in Englewood. We also have a little park one block away :)
