Hello Pet People! Pets and their people have always been happy with my patience, clear communication, and cleanliness. In the past year I have done 6 extended stay sits with 5 dogs and 4 cats, including elderly and rescue animals. I have administered medication and worked with both on-leash and off-leash or fenced-in exercise routines. I am confident that I can maintain a comfortable setting for your furry friends! I have been the grateful owner of two housecats in the past: Holly and Mr. Kitty. Holly has passed and Mr. Kitty has moved to the family farm where he can play outside more. I grew up on a Wisconsin dairy farm with two female rescue dogs, a black lab and a beagle mix. In addition, there was a large family of barn cats. We were all very close and I've always had a deep and healthy connection with animals. Since the dogs stayed primarily outside the house, I have cared for pets in typical urban/town setting to gain more experience via Trustedhousitters - please see testimonials! (My teenage son, shown in a few of my photos, accompanied me on some of the sits, but he doesn't come along anymore now that he is grown.)
