Highlights
Pet care experience
New to the area
Growing up we were a pet family - included cats, dogs, rats (I know), hamsters, fish, and reptiles. As an adult I have been responsible for caring for the pets of my friends and family. Including "high maintenance dogs, e.g requiring medication 3 times a day, needing an ointment on their skin etc. I have looked after dogs and cats ranging from a few months to end of life care, including those visually impaired. I currently have no pets of my own so am looking forward to devoting my care to your pet.

Thank you for being able to provide the last minute boarding! Totally saved us.
Great care and very friendly. My dog loves to stay. She didn't want to leave. Highly recommended.
Very responsive-- my dog had a great time at Derek's house for the weekend!
Very helpful with a big house. Allowed River to relax on couch which she loved.

Schedule
My full-time job is flexible in terms of hours and I can work from home if your pet needs extra attention. This allows for the flexibility for scheduling walks or boarding. I am available most days for all activities depending on the day.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a pet friendly home in a beautiful area of Midtown so if walks are needed it the best environment. Other pets would need their homes if they require (crate, terrarium etc). I live in a clean, calm, environment that all pets can enjoy.
A typical day
I lead an active outdoor lifestyle and would love to take your dog along with me if possible of course. I also enjoy keeping pets company as it is mutually mentally beneficial.
