Sometimes having stuffed animals just isn’t enough! I’ve always loved dogs––I mean, who isn’t immediately charmed by one of the most friendly, adorable, loyal, and smart animals on earth––but because of a no dogs policy in my apartment and my family couldn’t have them when I was growing up. So I used to have dog stuffed animals and pretend they were a part of my family. Each one had a different name and I projected different temperaments and barks, so it’s always been my dream to have a dog of my very own. I was allowed to have cats, bunnies, hamsters, and other small animals, so I have taken good care of our furry friends for all my life. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters over the years, and I currently have a cat named Thor and he is the sweetest and most chill Tabby. But I still long to have a dog––so until that day (which will be soon), I’m pet sitting dogs so I can get my puppy fix and help people who are in need of a loving, caring, reliable individual––me! I really enjoy how each pup has his or her own personality, quirks, unique ways of communicating, and preferred routines. Each pup is also a reflection of their human counterparts, and it’s so interesting to me to learn about each relationship. I believe we are all interconnected, and I always treat other people and humans with open-mindedness, kindness, and respect. I always follow instructions on each pup’s care. I have a lot of experience taking care of a range of pets––from puppies to senior dogs. Every second with a pup is an absolute gift for me. I am not kidding about needing to get my doggy fix! It’s almost like they are my addiction. Don’t worry, I don’t have any other vices. I just love spending as much time with them as possible. Besides animal shelters, I’ve worked at pet stores, so I really understand all the time and effort it takes to keep them happy and healthy. I will provide excellent service to your dogs since I am very passionate about animals and take my job very seriously. Dogs mean the world to me and I always make sure they are happy before I leave for the day. I am fully open to taking care of your pet's needs so whenever you need me, you can definitely count on me day or night. I see all animals as a part of my family, even the tiniest of them like goldfish. I cherish life and want to do my part to be a good and helpful force in the universe, however cheesy that may sound. Dogs are my passion and I welcome all types of breeds. I’m a fan of being a student of life, so each dog and owner I meet, I become more connected to the world around us. There is so much wrong with the world right now, having loving animals around you is serious self care. They bring comfort and purpose to everyone around them, and I surely want to be a part of it all. On my free time, I love to go hiking or hang out at the beach. I love nothing more than walking dogs along the beach.
