Hello Rover friends! I have been on hiatus since the pandemic but am back to caring for your pets with enthusiasm and love. I have had dogs and cats and many other critters all of my life, and pet sit for friends and family for years. I have grown up with large and small dogs since I was young. I have had the privilege of taking care of my own dogs as a child, including Rottweilers, Dobermans, Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and any mixture in between, including my three-legged dog Jack. I grew up with many different animals and was taught to treat my pets as I wish to be treated; fresh water, food, exercise, love and kindness. I lost my rescue dog Luke, who was a Shepherd/Husky mix, seven years ago to cancer. He came with psychological issues that were difficult to overcome, but through training, patience, and persistence, I was able to help bring out the best side of both of us. I treat all pets with the same patience and kindness I would treat my own. I value the importance of consistency with the owners training and schedule for their pet. I enjoy my time with dogs, cats, birds, and other pets, and look forward to caring for your pet as I would my own! ***I can board dogs in my home up to 60 lbs (weight limit per condo restrictions).*** ***For boarding and doggy daycare, I only watch one client at a time for a safe, calm, and personalized experience. In other words, your dog will receive all of my attention and affection!
