I was born into the pet sitting world. My mother owned a pet sitting service for many years of my childhood, and I have continued to care for animals in a variety of ways since. I have spent a lifetime around animals, particularly dogs, and am very familiar with their physical and emotional needs. As such I have a deep love and understanding of animals and look forward to putting this passion, along with my skills, to good use! There are a variety of services I'm capable of fulfilling.
