A little bit about myself: I grew up having dogs, cats, birds, rats, a horse, so as you might guess, I've always been a huge animal lover! I have worked as a full-time dog walker and pet sitter for two companies, one in my hometown of Pasadena, CA and currently I work for Close To Home Pet Services in West Seattle, WA. I've met other great owners and pets through Rover in the past and would just like to extend my services to help others in my spare time. How I treat each visit: During our initial meet and greet, I let you're pet take the lead in letting me know how to best care for them and am in tune with all their own unique needs. I love to hear all about them: their routines, their likes, dislikes, favorite treats, etc. I am a firm believer in only using positive talk, training and walking techniques. I am also trained in Pet First Aid and CPR. I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds of dogs and cats, as well as those with behavior or physical issues, and approach each situation with gentleness and compassion. I am very comfortable giving medications and adhering to what you request to keep your pet happy, healthy, and in their normal routine. I'm happy to take your dog to the dog park or other places in my car too. I'm not just any dog walker or pet sitter, but a true animal lover that is trained and experienced to give your pet a unique, tailored visit that gives you the peace of mind that your pet is very well cared for.
