Hello! I have been pet sitting for everyone in my life as well as taking care of my own animals since I was a teenager. I finally decided to follow my dream of doing this professionally at the start of 2022 and have loved every minute of it since! Currently, my husband and I have 2 cats and 3 Golden Retrievers (6.5, 2, and 1.5 yrs). I also regularly watch 2 other Goldens. I have been taking care of the oldest (Kevin 5 yrs) going on 3 years now, I consider him as much a part of our family as my own pups, and I am just starting to get to know and love his new little brother Freddy! We lost our precious good boy and first dog Riley the Border Collie last year to old age and miss him everyday 💕. In short, I am no stranger to high energy dogs and how to keep them entertained and occupied! I also have experience with other senior dogs and cats and special needs cats. Between family animals and sitting I have experience with the following breed of dogs: Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, German Shepards, Australian Shepards, Doodles, Collies, Setter mixes, Dachshunds, Terriers, Pitt Mixes, Huskys/similar breeds, Poodles (large and small), and Pugs – Almost anything you cand think of! I grew up in a rural town and was part of the 4H community so I have experience taking care of many farm animals including Horses, Goats, Cows, Pigs, Rabbits (farm or domesticated), and Chickens/Ducks/Geese. I also have some experience with reptiles and Tarantulas. I love all animals, so even if I’ve never come across your furry, feathery, or scaley friend, I am a quick learner and will follow your instructions to a T. My end goal in life is to have a large animal sanctuary/shelter so I can help as many animals in need as possible. Until then I plan to work hard caring for them and gaining more experience to hopefully build a clientele and reputation to reach my goal. As cliché as it may sound to some, my animals are like my children. (Of course, I do not think raising an animal is as hard as raising a child) BUT I do think that your pet should be a part of the family and deserves to be treated as such. I know what it's like to worry about who is taking care of them and what kind of job they're doing. I consider myself a very hardworking and responsible individual and I am not the type of person to cut corners just because it's easy, especially when it comes to our furry family members. You can rest easy knowing your companions will be in protective experienced hands and of course have fun at the same time! Give me the chance and I promise I won't let you down!
