Animals have always been a part of my life, and so has house and pet sitting for friends and family. I share my home with two dogs, Ivy (2), a poodle/Irish setter mix, and Murphy (12), a labradoodle. Senior care, medications and special diets are all part of a normal day for me. Puppies, kittens and anxious pets who need a little extra patience are just as easy for me to work with. I work remotely in marketing so my schedule is very flexible, and your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. I'm up for long walks and time outside with an active dog, and just as happy to spend a quiet evening on the couch with my knitting! I'll keep feeding, walks and meds on your usual schedule and send photo and text updates throughout the stay. Plants, mail and trash are covered too!
