I am a full-time, professional pet care provider and a passionate animal activist & rescuer. In addition to providing my best possible care for your fur baby, I offer full services for your home, including bringing in mail & packages, watering plants, opening and closing blinds, rotating lights... whatever you need! Dog visits are up to 30 minutes; I can offer a 20 minute visit for a reduced rate if your dog doesn't need as much care. (Please note that during extreme weather (heat above 92 or cold below 40), dogs WILL NOT be walked more than a few minutes at a time.) Cat visits are 20 minutes. For several years, I've volunteered for various rescues, including Paws in the City, Duck Team 6, DFW Rescue Me and Dallas Pets Alive, allowing me years of experience with all breeds and sizes. I regularly transport rescue dogs to and from adoption events and vet appointments, sometimes who are sick or injured. I also walk and socialize rescue dogs in boarding, and am a "handler" at adoption events, so I regularly care for dogs who don't know me. My preferred assignment is socializing shelter/rescue dogs in boarding facilities, as I have great patience with frightened/shy/stressed dogs. I foster dogs and puppies of all breeds and adopted one of my fosters, Gigi. I have rescued street dogs including pit bulls for the past 30 years. I became a pet sitter because so many rescue dogs I have placed are unable to go to boarding facilities (they might be sick, old, injured, frightened, stressed, or "look like" pit bulls).
