Growing up, we always had a dog in our home. Dogs are not pets, they're family. All of our dogs have been rescues. I now have Izzy, an 11 pound chihuahua/dachshund mix. Izzy's a gentle soul, loves children, and all other animals. In short, dog sitting is an opportunity for me to share the love that I've received and would like to return. I believe I'm different from most sitters as I'm extremely passionate about all animals. I also know what it's like to have someone else watch my dog. I can be on-call for last minute services, as well as overnight stays. As for the LA area, I'm happy to even take your pup on a local hike! My schedule is currently flexible. Thank you!
