I feel that all dogs deserve a life of adventure in return for the unconditional love they give us, so I’m here to give them the time of their lives while they’re away from their owners! My greatest joy comes from being surrounded by furry critters and giving them the love and affection they need to thrive. I love seeing a happy and healthy dog enjoy their life, which is why I became a vet tech as well! I’ve led a life helping animals out in various capacities for over a decade now, so becoming a sitter is just all part of my plan to make every puppy on earth happy! My main focus has been providing care to pets with special medical needs, such as diabetics, blindness, and paralysis for example. I feel that my skills with dogs make a greater impact on the dog community on an individual level. My medical skills allow me to provide excellent attentive care, and I’m prepared for the best, the worst, and everything in between. I will make sure your pets medical needs are met, their bellies scratched, and tails kept wagging! I graduated from the University of North Carolina Wilmington in 2015 with my bachelor’s in biology/pre-veterinary sciences and have been working as a veterinary technician for the last 3 years. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, and have fostered both cats and dogs before they went to their forever homes. I have also volunteered at a dog training facility, and even worked at a bird rescue for 3 years! I love birds because they have been around for millions of years and are basically evolved dinosaurs. They have personalities just like dogs do, and they come in so many different species. They fly! I would be more than willing to care for birds and reptiles if you have them. I like to do meet and greets either in a neutral location or in the dog’s home so they know that I’m a welcome guest. We like to preferably start outside the home, so then we can enter together and they can see me walk in with their owner. I always like to ask tons of questions about your pup’s needs and your expectations for the stay so we can make sure that we’re on the same page with absolutely everything. I am great with large breeds, as I am a Doberman owner. I love all breeds of dogs, but large breeds have a special place in my heart. During a stay, I’ll always do my best to make both my human and canine clients as happy as can be. I will provide timely and frequent updates so you can see just how your pupperoni is doing and get a glimpse into what we’ve done during the day. I’ll pay special attention to your pup’s health and behavior and report back with any information that you request. For my new canine companions, I provide lots of lots and kisses and rubs, treats within dietary restrictions and lots of playtime and attention. I have a flexible schedule which is also helpful for anyone who has a tricky schedule or unorthodox hours.
