I was raised on a farm, w/ a healthy love, & respect for all animals. I have experience w/ animals large & small, from horses, sheep, & goats, to dogs, & cats. I especially enjoy raising & training dogs, as they thrive on, & readily return unconditional trust & love. I currently own a 14 yr. old Westie, named Blizzard, bought as a family Christmas gift, to teach my children how to properly care for, & train a puppy/dog. I have walked dogs, & dog/cat-sat for many friends, as they have full confidence in knowing I will care for their homes & pets, as I do my own, responsibly & lovingly. My schedule is quite flexible, as I currently work from home, & want to supplement my income, doing something I'll truly enjoy, spending quality time w/ your furry friends, when you can't. My schedule is wide open, in hopes of acquiring, & prioritizing repeat/long-term clients, but not necessarily set schedules, & most often available for occasional, or emergency visits/walks, as well. I am available early morning to early evening, given ample notice of cancellation (8-12 hrs.), so to maintain other career obligations. I look forward to meeting fellow pet lovers, and your furry friends! I'm very active, greatly enjoy the outdoors, & not terribly averse to inclement weather, so more than happy to visit, walk, & play, rain, snow, or shine, whether around the yard, the block, or at the nearest park. I'm proud to say, my friends would describe me as friendly, trustworthy, & dependable, so you will also have full confidence in knowing I will respect your home, & care for your pets, as I do my own, responsibly, & lovingly. I look forward to making new pet pals, & hope to see you soon!
