Hello, Thank you for reading my profile. I have had pets my whole life and I have cared for other peoples pets often. I work in hospitality and hours are greatly reduced in the Fall, very much in the Winter, and the Spring. So since I love animals and I’m a great pet-sitter and I have free time, I’d love to be considered for your next pet-sitting needs. Because we have a new dog ourselves, I’m not offering At-My-Place Boarding services at this time. But I am available to pet/house-sit at your place, or just do drop-in visits for dog-walks/feeding. I am comfortable with all dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and health conditions. We have owned / fostered an English Springer, Pitbull, Plott Hound, Yellow Lab, French Bulldog, and cats, many of which were rescued dogs from the shelter, who came with behavioral challenges. We, my partner & I, were successful correcting or lessening some of those behaviors. I therefore am also comfortable with challenging pets. Your pet’s comfort and safety would be my utmost concern. I am very aware of my surroundings when I am walking a dog. If your dog is not to interact with other dogs while you are away, I am great with navigating an outing while avoiding other dogs. I will make sure your pet has regular bathroom breaks, play-time, and snuggle time. We have lived in Clatsop County since 1998. I have plenty of personal, professional, and pet-sitting references. I also trained at the Clatsop Animal Shelter to be a dog-walker, for which I did for a year before the pandemic. Then during the pandemic I transitioned to volunteering at the County Health Dept.
