I professionally walked and trained dogs, both big and small, and professionally cared for cats when I lived in DC and since then in MD. I love animals of all kinds and have taken care of neighborhood and family pets since I was a kid. I have 2 lovely cats of my own, both of whom I've taught fun tricks like spin, follow, etc. Animals are a gift and I genuinely enjoy them! I'm communicative and you'll get an update for each visit. If you request pictures, I'm more than happy to put your heart at ease with some delightful furr-baby pictures. With vet and owner instructions, I am comfortable administering some medicine to both cats and dogs. I offer transparency in my communication and am upfront about what support I can provide. I ask for the same transparency from my clients in their needs, pets habits, and training levels. If you would like to book me for house-sitting services, please also note any specific medical and/or timing support requests. Note, other responsibilities sometimes require me to be gone for 4 - 6 hours during housesits.
