I am a writer and part-time college lecturer with years of pet care experience. I have raised two dogs and two cats, worked as a housesitter/petsitter for multiple families, managed a kennel at a vet's office, and volunteered at an animal refuge. I have a range of experience with a variety of dog breeds (from puppy to extra large dogs) and other types of animals (bunnies, cats, gerbils, fish, some basic horse care, etc). From shy to lively, I am happy to find ways to accommodate your dog's personality and take any health concern you may have into consideration as I provide care for your pet. I love animals, finding new walking routes, and being outside. I can't wait to get to know your pet soon! * first visits are charged as drop-in’s — I see them as essential parts of caretaking, they block our schedule from paid visits, and Rover insurance only covers paid visits — thank you for respecting our time! *
