I am a recent Bend area transplant and to say I love dogs is an understatement. I have two dogs of my own and have over 20 years experience caring for and owning dogs and cats. I am very active and like to take my dog on runs, stair climbs and to the dog park. I can take your dog with or without my own dogs but would treat them as my own. I am very responsible and respectful. I have a very flexible schedule and can cater to your needs. About this sitter: I am a Seattle native and dog lover extraordinaire. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have two dogs, an Australian Shepherd and a Great Pyrenees. I am very active, like to go on walks, trail runs, stair climbs and visit the dog parks. Why I love dog sitting: I have been a dog lover since I was a kid. Some would say I prefer the company of dogs over humans. I understand dog's need for attention and I am very patient with special needs dogs. I treat dogs as part of my family and would spend all day with them if I could. Meet my pets: 5 yr old Great Pyrenees - Rainier (female) 7 yr old Australian Shepherd - Griffin (male) I have experience administering medication both oral and injected medicines. I also have extensive experience with older dogs and appreciate how the last few years of a dogs life can be challenging but that every animal deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
