Growing up as an only child, my siblings are the dogs and cats of the house. I feel comfortable rolling on the carpet with the dogs as well as taking care of them. I spent a considerable amount of time at the dog park as part of my socialization. When I am not with the family pets, I find myself reaching out to local animal shelter to provide comfort and company to the dogs and cats in need. Over the years, I've watched over dogs and cats for neighbors, parents, and friends alike. I understand each family has its own rules and I will make sure to house sit your house your way. Having lost my brother (Rolfe, Norwegian Elkhound) of 13 years earlier in 2016, I will continue my love for him by treating your family members with respect and love. I love taking pictures of animals so be prepared to get them while you are away!
