Edit: Starting January 1st of 2024, prices for drop-in visits and dog walking will be calculated based on how far I need to drive. Sadly, Rover takes quite a percentage from us sitters and the cost of gas has been really taking a toll on some of these farther drives. Anything within 8 miles will be the price shown. Anything farther than that will be an additional 50 cents per mile to make up for the time and gas. I'm not going to waste anyone's time with silly pictures and a buttered-up profile. This is all you need to know: I'm respectful, reliable, and I take the utmost pride in caring for and loving my fur-babies. I can assure you I will do the same for yours. I want your fur-baby to have fun with me, but my number one priority will always be the safety of all parties involved. I approach pet-sitting the same way I used to approach teaching martial arts. I want every student to have fun every time, but we can only have fun if everyone agrees to put safety first. Dogs will have their own private guest room for when I can't be with them and where they will sleep at night. I have had dogs in my home my entire life. My profile says I don't have dogs, but I do. It won't let me change it unless I had a ridiculous amount of info about my dogs, so just making a note here instead for you all. Currently, I have two beautiful dogs. I feed them the best food I can afford and they are up to date on everything. I also have experience with cats, small mammals, birds, reptiles/amphibians, and fish; so feel free to contact me about those if you have a need for it. Some house rules we have are NO people food under ANY circumstance, you only get fed at appropriate meal times, everyone MUST play nicely (I will not risk the safety of my pups), if you want a treat you have to earn it, and don't fart next to Mom. If we all follow the rules and we all agree to put safety first, then we can focus on what really matters....playtime and cuddles.
