What began as a favor 9 years ago evolved into a joy and a side job. Before I could drive, I pet sat for family. As I grew older, a coworker asked me if I could dog sit her timid rescue. When friends, coworkers, and friends of friends heard that I had the time and the energy to care for someone's pet in their own home, they asked if I could care for their dog too. I am a Recreation major that is passionate about playing and outdoors. Also, I have just returned from backpacking half of the Appalachian Trail and would love to get back into petsitting. If your dog loves hikes and playing outdoors as much as I do, we might just get along great. As for the more laid back dogs, I love a good laid back day myself every now and then. It would be my pleasure to care for your best friend while you are away from home.
