I have owned dogs and cats most of my young and adult life. I've lived with friends who I've cared for their 2 dogs and 3 cats which they entrusted to me during their many vacations. I'm confident in my ability to care for your pet with the same attention and love as when you're there. I know the best dog parks in the area as I visit them with my neighbor when we take her Sheep dog. It's a great opportunity for them to socialize. It's perfect because all the other dog owners are vigilant to ensure their dogs are behaving and not aggressive. It's fun to play with them using a Frisbee or balls, which is great exercise as well. I've worked in special education for the past 15 years. I'm dependable and feel confident I can provide you peace of mind that your pet/s are in good hands when you're away. I'm an avid supporter of ASPCA and Helen Woodward Animal Center. I look forward to meeting you and your forever friends. I usually work part time during the school year. Have ample time in the afternoon or evenings during the week to fit pet care into my daily schedule. I have more time on weekends so I can accommodate multiple or longer visits as requested. I always meet the owner/s to get details before the scheduled days to care for your pet/s. Depending on the service (drop in, walk) will follow the clients to insure they know their pet will be happy and well cared for. I work part time as a substitute in special education during the school year. Otherwise I'm flexible. Have owned cats and dogs and confident your pet will be well cared for. I am careful to follow your directions in regard to caring for your pet. I take notes regarding the care of your pet they are well cared for while you are away.
