Pet care experience

I have owned dogs my entire life and have volunteered in animal shelters since I was a teenager. I regularly care for my family's two dogs and own two cats of my own. I have a passion for finding and advocating for homes for those in shelters. I also have no problem with feeding, walking, playing and even giving them their medicine if need be. There are plenty of parks located near me and I have experience playing catch and other activities if that is what they prefer. I also do not mind taking them to their favorite dog park and keep an eye out on them and their interaction with other dogs. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out.

Joy was such a wonderful sitter and provided a warm, safe and friendly home away from home for our dog. She would send frequent updates and pictures to let us know how our dog was doing and was always quick to respond if I messaged her first. Would highly recommend!
