I’ve always been inspired by dogs. They’re always full of happiness, but, more importantly, they have an amazingly selfless spirit. They just want to do the best thing for you possible, and I absolute love that about them! That selfless spirit has always made me want to do whatever I can to bring more puppy happiness into the world, so being a dog sitter really is a dream come true for me! I love being able to meet new dogs whenever I can, so getting to do that professionally is just amazing! I grew up on a farm in North Carolina, so I have wide experience working with various animals. I have never not had a dog, and usually my family takes on several dogs at a time! We have a soft spot in our hearts for dogs with disabilities, or that need a little bit of extra TLC. Accordingly, I have experience with a variety of issues such as Parvo, joint pain, Arthritis, liver and thyroid issues, Cushing’s disease, and working with elderly dogs. I have even successfully performed dog CPR on a choking puppy! Recently, I have gotten much more experience with small dogs (over the past 7 years) as I had never before that had anything smaller than a Lab, and have really grown to love them quite a bit. I do have experience with very large dogs as well, but cannot board them at this time. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. I know how difficult it can be to be away from your pup, so I’m here to make that time as easy as possible for you. I believe in taking care of your pup as if they were my very own, so making sure they receive all the love in the world is always a must! However, I also like to get as much information as possible about the ins and outs of your pup’s life. That way, I can get a good picture of how to provide them with the best environment possible. Once they’re in my care, I provide owners with lots of regular updates and keep them in the loop on everything from meal preps to exercise times. Likewise, there will always be tons of pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having together!
