Dogs have always held a special place in my life. Growing up with dogs, I developed a close bond with animals and was often the one home to feed, walk and care for our pups. In college, I took a variety of dog-sitting jobs with families that I babysat for. Since moving to Portland, I have been missing dog time as I don't yet have my own pup to love and care for. I am a very reliable, compassionate and flexible dog sitter and understand that pets are 100% part of one's family! My schedule is quite flexible throughout the summer as I am a teacher so I have a few work commitments here and there but do not work full time in the summers. I love all dogs and have never had a bad experience when caring for pups for both long stretches (1 month) and short stints (regular walking etc.)
