I have 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, and grew up with a variety of different animals (rabbits, tarantulas, snakes). As a former dog-Mom to Jordy, the happiest diabetic Cavalier King Charles Spaniel that ever lived, I have a special place in my heart for pooches and enjoy long walks/runs, play-time, and puppy snuggles (with your pet's permission.) I provide "pupdates": pictures, texts, or calls-whichever is your preferred method to receive updates on your pet. As a crisis counselor and professional caregiver, I have experience providing care for humans with special needs and apply the same attentiveness and respect for your instructions to your pet, especially regarding keeping them on their current schedule. Every pet has its own personality, and I pride myself on being able to provide quality care for the introverted/territorial and extraverted/"everyone I see is my friend!" pet.
