I've had dogs and cats all throughout my childhood and into my early 30s. I've always been a responsible pet owner and I love giving them the affection, time and care that they so deserve. I'm incredibly patient and will always exhibit professionalism. I am an not working or doing school at the moment so my availability is very much open. I'm a homebody, but I do enjoy taking pets for long walks and appreciating nature. I am in the helping profession, so I believe my work with seniors, children, and people with health impairments has taught me compassion, patience, professionalism, and monitoring/supervision skills, which are some of the skills/qualities needed to take care of animals. I always send multiple pictures with every stay, but sometimes I have sent them through text message and not through the app, so that's why my reading is inaccurate. I am very proactive in keeping the client updated. I have a spacious fenced in back yard that the dog can run and play in and I could take the dog for walks in the neighborhood. I am also open to checking out any nearby dog parks. My mother has a smallish Pomeranian who loves other animals and a sweet older cat that mostly stays to herself.
