I'm a violinist in the Charleston Symphony Orchestra and a violin teacher at Ashley River Creative Arts Elementary. I have a BM, and MM from Cleveland Institute of Music. I also love all kinds of dogs. I've had lots of experience house sitting and dog sitting. I had a dog while growing up. He was a toy poodle and his name was Claude. I know your dog or cat is like your own child, so I will make sure to take care of him/her with lots of affection and attention. I particularly enjoy playing with dogs. Some of my favorite activities to do with dogs include throwing a ball and frisbee if the dogs do that. I've taken care of other pets as well. Some of these include a cat, fish and bird. I will take care of most kinds of dogs. However, I will not take any kind of aggressive dogs. This includes pit bull, German Shepard, Akita and Chow Chow. Thank you for considering me. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your dog! I can easily take care of your pet even if I have work. My schedule allows me to leave throughout the day if I need to. I don't have any work on the weekend or holidays, so I usually just stay at the owner's home during that time. I don't usually care for pets in my apartment. I'm nervous the carpet could get dirty... When I am at the owner's home, I always play, pet, take them potty, for walks, etc. The owner often will write a very detailed list of instructions for me which I like and will follow them.
