I have had (and loved dogs) my entire life, so becoming a dog sitter is a dream come true! I have trained dogs since I was 16 years old and have been dog sitting and walking locally for over a decade. I’m trained in animal first aid and have acted as a foster parent to rescue dogs in the past, so I’m familiar with providing love and care to pups in need. I currently have two rescue dogs of my own as well. There just simply isn’t anything better than watching a pup thrive! I always prefer to have a meet-and-greet when taking on a new client, as it gives us the opportunity to get to know each other before a stay and make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another. Additionally, it gives me the chance to ask plenty of questions about your pup and your expectations for the upcoming stay. I love to get as much information as possible, so a meet is a great opportunity to do so. During a stay, I firmly believe in keeping the dogs schedule as close to what it is when the owners are home. I know most pups thrive on consistency, so I’ll strive to make sure that their time with me is as close to what they’re used to at home. I’ll also treat the owner’s home, dog (and other animals) as if they were my own and with the utmost care. I’m also happy to make sure that owners are kept up to date daily via texts, pictures, and videos, so you can know just how your pup is doing and what we’ve done for the day. In my free time I like to hang out with my dogs. We love to go for drives, and just hang out together! I also enjoy finding new dog-friendly cafes and restaurants in the area to bring pups too. When I’m at home, I love to play fetch, and run, and close out the day with tons of snuggles and cuddles.
