Hello! I'm a graduate student who is working part time and writing full time. I enjoy getting out of the house and moving in my breaks. I am happy to take care of dogs and cats while you are away, provide walks and playtime when you can't, and will give rides to the vet or elsewhere if you need it. When I visit your home, your pets' needs and preferences are my primary concern. I can make sure your pet gets the companionship, exercise, food, cleanup, basic grooming, and medications it needs. I have experience with a variety of personality types and preferences in both dogs and cats. Low-energy pets can look forward to cuddle time and a bit of grooming. Shy pets can expect quiet companionship and trust the order I'll bring to their environment. High-energy cats can enjoy some play with toys (wands preferred) and a bit of treat-training to keep their minds active. High-energy dogs can look forward to obedience training, playtime in the backyard, or a good walk. If you want to work on obedience, just give me a list of the commands and methods you work with. I am also happy to provide walks for dogs of all energy types and fitness levels. If a quiet walk won't be enough, I can plan for longer runs or bike runs for dogs trained with bicycles. If your dog is well-socialized and enjoys companionship, I can bring my own pup on the walk for company. My goal is to provide your pet with the care it needs when you can't. I hope to hear from you soon!
