I was trained by the best: DavidJ25 ! My boyfriend is a top notch sitter and I usually get to meet and play with his clients. It satisfies our needs as we are not currently set up to have a dog. The pet owners have come to treat us as a partnership because of all the time I have come to invest in David's clients. This relationship has been the perfect solution when clients find that he is only partially available for longer stays. We offer them the option of David and me dovetailing so we can cover the entire length of the stay. They have been very happy with this solution because they know that David is in constant contact with me and will make time to visit me and their pets while he is away at his other stay. This option of me starting or finishing a stay while still having David in "support" has been overwhelmingly received. The clients are so grateful and relieved to have a thoroughly thought out solution. I love spending time with David when he is working and have learned so much from a master dog handler. His clients know me and I know them and most of their quirks. I have confidence in substituting for David and have the full support of their owners.
