Hi! I have happily been providing pet sitting services professionally since 2010, but have had an affinity for animals my whole life. I enjoy their company and I think they have a fun time too. Some might see it as odd, but I talk to the animals LOL. I think they feel comforted by that verbal connection. I'm also not limited to just dogs. I've cared for cats, fish, insects, chickens, snakes, birds, turtles, hermit crabs, etc. I have taken my own dogs to behavior training classes and would be happy to continue to practice your training techniques while I'm sitting/walking. Our newest addition, Toula, is a "foster fail". Meaning, I was a first time foster Mom ...and I adopted her! :) I have volunteered my time at Cocheco Valley Humane Society and currently volunteer at the Animal Refuge League in Westbrook in the surgical clinic. I am also certified in pet CPR and First Aid for your peace of mind.
