Pet care experience

Bowow-WOW!

After losing my dog to an illness, i wanted to be more involved with dogs and help people make sure their dog is taken care of when they want to travel. I currently volunteer at an animal shelter too! I have had dogs all my life and they are part of the family. Their comfort and safety always come first. As a caretaker of your pet I will make sure we meet first and discuss your pet, their needs and their character.

I will book Erika again. Even with my last minute request, she made make time for the initial meeting which I really appreciate. She communicated so well with me— very timely, and sweet with my girl Sage.

Schedule

I currently work from home one day a week, so you dog must be able to be alone for up to 6 hours. I make sure they are left comfortable until I return home and keep an eye on them with my security cameras.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a calm and quiet home where your pet will be taken care of with lots of love and daily walks. Your dog will become part of my family until it is time for them to reunite with their family.

A typical day

I love walking so if your dog loves to walk he or she will have the perfect partner. If allowed I would also take your dog to the small dog park in my area.
