As an active person and lifelong dog lover, I enjoy the opportunity to take care of new canine friends. I have experience with overnight sitting, drop-in visits, extended sitting, and daily care of many different breeds and personality types. I am self-employed, so I can afford very flexible hours for sitting. I like to take dogs for long walks and let them enjoy freedom of movement as much as possible. When trails, fields, parks, or big backyards are unavailable, a scenic route through quiet neighborhoods will do. As pack animals, dogs love the sense of collective adventure. I've found they respond almost universally to engaging, fun activities. Whatever the preference of the pet owner, and the dogs, I can make accommodations to provide the best possible care. Dogs are my favorite, but I love all types of other creatures too! Cats, birds, reptiles, fish, amphibians, and all other manner of beast are most eligible for sitting, walking, feeding, or whatever services they require.

Have you chummed up with the mesa? Do you know its moods and changes? Then listen to the wild–it's calling you." —Robert W. Service
