Love animals and owned Golden Retrievers for 25 years and an Amazon Parrot for 20 years. I'm at a point in my life where I'm enjoying my freedom, but also miss having a pet. You pet will get all the attention and loving that I used to give my pets. Over the years, many people have asked me to pet sit when they went on vacations. I've done drop-in visits and house sitting with pets. It will be a treat for both myself and your pet! I also have my substitute teaching certificate, and passed an FBI background check to get it. I also teach Tai Chi and Meditation. You can feel safe and secure with me. :) I currently own my own business and can offer 24 hour pet/house sitting or drop ins. Am busy on Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings only. I'm physically active and will be happy to take pets on frequent walks. If your dog likes to hike, we can have lots of fun doing that. My best friend was a professional dog trainer for 30 years, and lots of that knowledge passed to me. Both my dogs were extensively trained by me (under supervision of professional trainers). Please let me know if you have specific commands for your dogs that I can help use. I want to hang out with your pets as much as they want to hang out with me! :)
