I have been caring and training dogs for 30+ years. Starting at age 14, with my two German shepherds. Dogs are my passion! I train, and competed in agility, rally, dock diving, herding, flyball and disc. I have also helped others train their dogs, in local dog clubs in my hometown. I have been a puppy raiser for Guide dogs, shown dogs in 4-H. I am also a foster for Operation Pets Alive, through local animal shelters. I have been running my pet sitting business since 2003! Pet sitting for me is like having extra fur babies to love and spoil! To me it is not work, because I get to learn more, sitting each pet in my care. Thank you for allowing me this opportunity. I’m away from home no more than 4 hours a day, during the week. I like to use playtime, walks, kongs and my swiftpaws lure coursing to entertain pups. I try to keep pups on their schedule to ease the transition into my home for their stay. I like to keep them busy to ease their stress.
