I have an education around animal therapy, and have learned how to read dogs, pay attention to their behaviors, and understand what their behaviors mean. I will work with the dog in relation to what they need and what you want. I am very loving and can get on the good side of any dog. I have had 4 dogs and 2 cats in my life, the most recent being a rescue Rottweiler that I loved so much. She required medicine twice a day so I am familiar with providing that type of care, and have provided medical care to my cats in the past. I have dog sat and house sat for over 10 years. People trust me with their animals and their homes due to my ability to communicate effectively with the owners based on their needs, as well as how I follow guidelines to your routine and rules. Any routine you have I am willing to follow! I've gone on walks at 3am for senior dogs, followed very specific play time, and have managed very specific food requests, among other things. I make you and your animals feel comfortable, and take care of your animals and your home (I love to clean and tidy up!) I am considerate, accepting, and loving. I am available to pet & house sit for you (and take care of your plants if needed!), and also for daily check-ins and dog walks. I don't do sits over 1 week. I'm happy to work with you for what you need. A little more about me- I have a Masters degree in career counseling and am a career counselor, and I have a retreat business on the side. With this I have a very flexible schedule and pet sitting brings me a lot of happiness. I am happy to answer any questions you have!
