Pet care experience

Your dog is my dog :)

I've been an animal lover all my life, but dogs have a very special place in my heart. I've rescued most of my dogs growing up, volunteered at local shelters, and rescued many dogs I've found in danger, finding them a good new home or helping them to be returned to their worried families (I’ve lived in both heavily populated cities and countrysides with lots of strays). I’m currently a dog walker & sitter and I have experience with many different breeds and sizes. I have experience dealing with extremely nervous, docile dogs that need a little extra care and patience. I like to think that I have a very soothing voice that they respond well to. I also have experience dealing with high energy dogs that need a lot of exercise and tiring out. I understand the importance of making sure that they are living a happy, healthy life, and not just sitting around bored all day. I love being around dogs and I've been told I have a very special way with them. They bring me as much joy as I do them. I also really enjoy narrating our time together/singing/just being silly and talking to dogs because it seems to make them enjoy our time together even more and builds a stronger bond. My own dog has all of his vaccines including Lyme disease / canine flu and I keep him very clean, so if yours ever happens to come in contact with him (say if you’d like me to bring him along for a sitting to have a play date with your own pup/s), he will be safe.

I appreciate having a trusted sitter to take care of my fur babies! I can always tell from the pictures Lauren takes that they are happy to see her. She’s always easy to work with and I know my cats are in good hands.

I'd like to know how your dog's temperament with other dogs, other people, and children is. Would you like them kept away from others (cross the street to avoid other people/dogs) If someone comes up and asks to pet them, is that okay or not okay? Do they have any allergies, fears, or tendencies that I should know about?
