My dog Lulu and I love to hang out with other dogs. We often have sleepovers with Lulu's dog friends and we have a blast.. After purchasing a house, I realized that pet sitting would be a great way for Lulu make new friends and for me to do something I love. I also have used Rover sitters for Lulu, and was very happy with the process, so I would like to provide that kind of care for other pet owners. I'm a dog lover through and through, and have always had at least one dog my whole life. I live with my husband and Lulu, in a single-family stand alone house with fully fenced backyard. I work from home and will be present most of the day, keeping an eye on everyone. If your pet has special needs, that's no problem! I can accommodate most issues and have experience with giving pills and dealing with special feeding requirements. Lulu is our spayed 10 year old malinois/lab mix. She is very friendly, loves to play with other dogs, and welcomes them into her home gladly. She lived in a multiple dog house and loves when other dogs come to visit. I'm very easy to talk to, and have been told that I make people feel very welcome and comfortable. I've also had a variety of experiences in my life. Before moving to Austin, I created and ran all the water conservation education and outreach programs for an international water and wastewater company. In high school my sport was barrel racing! In college I studied sea lions in the Sea of Cortez and bears in eastern Arizona. I have sold 3 oil paintings and I sing. Please reach out if you have any questions about the care we can provide. We're excited to host your four-legged friend.
