Spending time with animals is one of the most fun and rewarding things I do in life. Pets make our world brighter and happier! I have owned dogs, cats, and aquatic animals my entire life, and have spent years professionally caring for well over 100 pets of all types with different needs. Nothing is more important than your pet's safety and happiness, so that is my #1 priority! As a pet owner myself, I know just how worrisome it can be to leave your beloved friend in the care of a stranger. That's why as a pet sitter, I work extra hard to communicate with you extremely well throughout your time away, with lots of updates and pictures, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is having a blast with a great new friend! I've been inspired by some exceptional sitters that I've been lucky enough to hire through Rover, and I try to step up my game to be deserving of your pet's love. When I am taking care of your pet, you're getting more than just a potty break for them; you're getting somebody who is genuinely invested in bonding with your pet, ensuring all their needs are attended to, and giving them a great time while we're together. After each visit, you'll get a detailed description of everything we did together, including any health or behavior notes I'd want you to be aware of so you're 100% informed about how your pet is doing, and how we're working together as a team. I'm athletic enough to keep up with your high-energy dog that needs to run and exercise, and calm and relaxed enough to soothe your anxious dog that's missing you while you're away. I also really enjoy positive dog training using rewards to teach new words and skills that can really keep a dog stimulated and happy. Who knows, when you get your dog back after a visit with me they might know a new trick!
