Raised around cats, dogs, ducks and fish, I've been an animal lover since birth. I care for my own pets (my cats, Midori and Biscuit, and my German Shepherd, Atlas) and have cared for friends' and family members' pets for over 20 years. I am well-organized, experienced, and above all, animals fill me with joy. They bring light and love into my heart. I have glowing references for both house and dog-sitting. Also, as an endurance athlete, I am committed to exercising the pups and playing outside, if that's right for the dog. I am a pet-sitter because I enjoy being around animals and love helping out. I have a pretty flexible schedule and am committed to taking pups on two walks (or runs) a day or providing any other exercise which is appropriate for the pet. Your pet will be my first priority!
