Summer Break Pet Sitting

I grew up with dogs in my home, and when I became a teacher over 10 years ago, I began dog walking and pet sitting for others, too, over my summer break. I have cared for dogs with a variety of needs, including high energy puppies, animals with anxiety, and elderly animals with mobility issues.

Kate is great! On time for meet and greet, attention to detail, took notes, and did a great job on walk. Chewie was happy and relaxed… and so am I! More walks to follow!
