I have been taking care of dogs off and on since probably age 17-18 and absolutely cherish the bond that I, and most of us, share with these incredible animals. I’ve cared for family members’ pets to random referrals in my time sitting dogs, and each time has been a delight. I strongly believe that animals, dogs, have a keen sense of who the animal lovers are. Rarely in my life have I had anything other than a friendly, loving first encounter with a dog I’ve met. If you’re looking for someone to be with your dogs virtually every second of your time away from them, then I am probably going to be your best candidate. I’m willing to do lengthy stays in case of a longer planned vacation, or a quick drop-in in the event you’re away from your beloved pup(s) longer than desired. I’m also very flexible and willing to work with any and all dog breeds. Lastly, I believe my calm demeanor is very important in the bonds I’ve made with all of the animals I’ve cared for over the years. I have the utmost confidence that your dog(s) will be in the care of a dog lover who just wants to make your dog feel at home (literally) without the presence of their best friend. Think of me as the next best friend :)
