I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have personally had 3 of my own. Over the years I have learned to read their body language and interpret their needs. I started dog sitting about 10years ago and became proficient at following the care instructions left by their parents/owners. So much so that I volunteered to be a puppy parent for Paws for Purple Hearts where I went through intensive training on how to care for dogs trained to be service animals. I was assigned Schatzie, a loving black lab. I took her to school every day and picked her up, followed instructions on how to care for her and how to reinforce her training at home. She was in line to become a service dog so as part of my care I took her everywhere with me, including work, the movies, the grocery store, etc. My point is I took my service very seriously and am happy to meet the needs of your furry companion as well. Being away from home and your furry companion is not easy. With me you can rest assured that both are being taken care of with the utmost respect and thoughtfulness. Always happy to answer any questions and make sure I am the best fit for your pet sitting needs!
