I have been giving loving care to pets for over 8 years now, after my daughter persuaded me to become a sitter. It’s a natural fit for me, as I love animals. I much prefer pet-sitting over returning to the corporate world for additional income. I am retired, so I am home 95% of the time. For many years, I was a life coach, empowering women and helping them find purpose in life. That experience imbued in me a sense of calm and a desire to spread positive energy to everyone, people and animals. I also volunteer at a rescue shelter, and look forward to sharing my calm energy with those dogs, as well. They are in need of so much love. I live in a 3-bedroom manufactured home, conveniently located near several parks. I shared my home with a Shih Tzu named Prince up until June 14, 2024 when he passed away, I miss him so much and feel lost without him. My heart is still healing but will eventually rescue another sweet furbaby when the time is right. If your dog stays with me, they will have plenty opportunities for fun indoors and out. I keep an assortment of dog toys at home. We can visit one of the area parks, if it’s okay with you. I work with your dog's schedule and abilities. I eagerly await meeting you and your furbaby. and hope to give you an exceptional sitting experience. I am home full time and available for boarding on weekdays and weekends. I keep my schedule pretty up to date here on Rover. I look forward to being of service to you and your fur baby. I have a small fenced in backyard but generally prefer to take the dogs out on a leash to go to the bathroom during the day. We will do a morning walk as well as an evening walk.
