I've had dogs all of my life, and that includes multiple dogs at one time. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I worked for almost 7 years in the field of Marketing for Nationwide Pet Insurance (formerly VPI). I'm very aware of dangers to dogs, from foods they should not ingest, to never leaving them in my home or patio unattended. Please keep in mind I am now retired and have the freedom to stay with your dog in your home, host your dog in my home, or visit and play with your dog(s) whenever you need me to. All of my dogs were raised on an eating schedule, were allowed on all of my furniture and slept with me at night. I love all creatures, but dogs are truly my favorites. My last dog was 19 years old and he crossed the rainbow bridge almost one year ago. I miss having dogs in my life. PLEASE NOTE: I own a one-story condo, which is perfect for those dogs who might have back issues.
