I work in a hybrid office (remote two days/week) and have found that dogs make the best assistants when working from home. I commute downtown on the bus, so in-office days can be unpredictable. For this reason, depending on the date, I’ll either be home with your pet(s) all day or will be gone for long stretches! My schedule can be flexible, but some seasons are busier than others, so booking in advance is best. I had Golden Retrievers growing up - big, affectionate, needy dogs. I have since cared for everything from mixes to Yorkies to mastiffs and have loved them all. Since travel can be worrisome for your furry friend, I try to do whatever I can to ease the stress for dogs, whether that’s simply minimizing disruption to their routine or showing them a little extra love. I love taking dogs on walks, because it means that I get to be outside, too! I am happiest when house- AND dog-sitting but am available for drop-in visits and walks, too. I'd be glad to take dogs on social outings if requested. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs and look forward to meeting your pup!
