Hello fellow dog lovers! I have a lifelong love for animals. I was born and raised on a farm and I have cared for animals of all shapes and sizes, basically from birth! A house without animals is not a home, and I look forward to caring for your furry family members! About this sitter: It can be hard to leave your pet to go on your dream vacation or work trip. Leaving a part of your family while you travel is tough, but it doesn't need to be stressful! I love animals of all shapes and sizes, and I would love to take great care of your furry friend. I will keep your pet safe and happy, and we will have a ball (or chew toy) of a time! I have been a proud petsitter for years! Why I love dog sitting I have ADORED animals since birth. I grew up on farmland, I was raised with turkeys, dogs, barn cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, horses, goats, cows, pigs and all manner of creatures. I love all animals, and I am the person at a party socializing with the host's Labrador Retriever instead of the other guests! Meet my pets I own an adorable, incredibly shy little feline. She is very respectful of other animals in the house, the very definition of a scaredy cat. About my yard My backyard is quite large, though it is currently unfenced. I allow my dog outside without a leash for brief periods of time, but she is exceedingly well trained and loyal and I have unflagging trust in her. Though we live on a quiet road in a suburb, I would always, always, always leash a dog I am unfamiliar with to prevent them from potentially coming in harm's way! I am very vigilant about the door being latched at all times due to my sweet, curious cat. The grass is well maintained, and our yard is large and beautiful. My experience administering medication I am comfortable with this as long as I have been properly and carefully informed of the method of administering the medicine given your pet's specific needs.
