Pet care experience
I love taking great care of people's pets so they do not have to worry about their fur babies while away from home. I began pet-sitting as an Airman in the early '90s at Malmstrom AFB MT as a way to earn extra money and get out of the dorms for awhile. Since then I have continued to pet sit for friends and family, and regularly walked my neighbor's dog when I lived in Rapid City. I have two cats of my own. Pre-Covid, I was volunteering at the shelter a couple of times per week to feed & play with the cats, and walk/play with the dogs. You won't be disappointed if you select me as the person who gets to keep your pet happy in your absence!

Safety, trust & environment
I will feed, walk, and play with your pup. If we're outside of a fenced area they will always be on a leash. If we're chilling inside I'll usually talk to them or play music while we play to help them feel comfortable. I have cats of my own, so if I'm taking care of your cat I am prepared to be completely ignored by them. :-)

Information Karen S. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences, but would like to know of any quirks the pup may have. I also understand they may be anxious having a stranger come in so I'll ease into loving on them.
A typical day
We can go on walks in the neighborhood or on local trails if feeling adventurous. We can go to the dog park, too, if that's something they like to do.

Availability
I work full-time but am able to drop in early in the morning, on my lunch hour, or in the evenings. It's important to me that your pets are taken care of in your absence!
