Before moving to San José as a transfer student this last August, my schedule was always booked with dog sitting and housesitting gigs back at home in Sacramento. ( I still dogsit on occasion when home for a weekend or holiday break). I have been dog sitting for about five years, but it was about three years ago that my business grew immensely. I have cared for dogs for a variety of lengths: I watched one dog for months at a time, as his owners have a second home they frequently visit; I also have experience with day visits and walks. I have experience caring for small dogs, elderly dogs on multiple medications, active dogs, and gigantic dogs that are not the best on a leash. I usually will jog with the more active dogs that I watch when we go for "walks" as I love keeping fit myself. I love making the dogs I watch feel comfortable and at home. I miss my wee little chihuahua, Pixie, who is back at home with my mom, and dog sitting helps fill that void in my heart :) ***Update: I am now located in Sacramento and am able to serve the Cameron park, Folsom, fair oaks, and Orangevale areas
