My dog care experience started with my childhood dog, a rambunctious beagle who I walked daily for 10 years. I then started dog-sitting for family friends in college, and have done months worth of overnight stays. I believe that the best way to petsit is to maintain as much of the dog's daily routine as possible, and of course to spend ample quality time with them. I also gained professional dog walking experience by working for a family with 4 dogs of different sizes, ages and energy levels. Accommodating such different dogs on group walks improved my leadership skills and flexibility. These diverse experiences with dogs improved my ability to adapt to the individual or the group to ensure everyone's getting the best care possible! I enjoy hiking in nature and would also be able to take dogs on outdoor adventures.
