I am the owner of four dogs, one cairn terrier and three chihuahuas. I've been a petsitter and dog walker, paid and unpaid, for the last 15 years. I have a big heart and calm presence around breeds large and small, and know that the most important issue for dog owners is safety. Common sense and familiarity with our desert environment make me comfortable in new situations and neighborhoods, and I am especially aware of issue unique to Tucson, such as heat and our local wildlife (javelinas and such). I am mature, with a good deal of common sense, and these qualities make me responsible and confident as a dog supervisor. I look forward to meeting your dog, and discovering his or her personality quirks and preferences.
