Like us, dogs benefit by knowing they are cared for by others. My goal is to get to know your dog, and to meet their needs for care/companionship while they await your return. I've lived w dogs on-and-off for 20 yrs. I have cared for breeds as small as Yorkshire Terriers and as large as Akitas. I love all breeds and mixes, and enjoy letting dogs get to know me at their own pace. Whether it's going for a walk, checking out a favorite park, playing a safe + familiar game, or just sharing space as they rest at home in a favorite spot, I look forward to caring for your loved one and to offering them my respect and friendship. I will be available weekdays and most weekends this summer. I will continue to be available most weekends starting in the fall. Also happy to, and experienced with, house sitting for longer periods/as needed.
