Teacher Sitting for the Summer!

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a primary school teacher - originally from Portland, now living in Brisbane, Australia! I am home for 8 weeks over the Summer and keen to help look after your animals and get my doggy fix! I have a King Charles Cavalier spaniel who will be home with my partner - and I will miss her so! In addition to having very recently raised a puppy (she is now 1 year), I have been a Wag dogwalker, a local petsitter both here at home and in Oz, and I even volunteered at the Humane Society as a teenager, so I have been walking other peoples dogs for a long time!

Laura was responsive and kept us in loop during the stay. We were thankful to have her staying with my babies in our house!!! ??

Any behaviours or reactivity, anything about what if anything the dog needs to be left alone during the day, information about current training and habits you want me to continue to reinforce.

I enjoy walks, dog parks if that is suitable for your dog, or runs! We will also play fetch or with toys, lounge, whatever the dog enjoys most!
