Since I was 13 years old, I've spent days, summer vacations, and other durations of time caring for livestock, dogs, and cats. I understand the nervousness pet owners have when tasked with trusting others to care for their 4-legged companions, and am motivated to address their concerns by providing my utmost attention, enthusiasm, and quality care to your pet like they are my own. From spending 8 years in the county 4-H program, I understand what quality animal care looks like. I have a foundational experience with administering medication and dog training, and have cared for dogs of all ages and abilities. By introducing play, providing appropriate nutrition and snack, and monitoring animal health and well-being with enthusiasm and quality care, you can be sure that while you're away, I can sit and stay! I would enjoy filling my time with your companions during and outside of my regular work hours. Since I am in a remote, full-time position, I have the flexibility to set my schedule and accommodate for you! While I typically work between 9:00 AM and 4:30 PM Mondays-Fridays, my schedule can be modified or incorporated to fit your needs. I am eager to work with you to identify a schedule that can work for the three of us! The yard of my apartment includes a fenced-in dog park, the surrounding area is maintained with safe sidewalks for walking, and I am also conveniently located between a multitude of other parks. Whether a shy or outgoing pup, I have access to a variety of recreational parks to choose from that will fit your preferences.
