First off I have something important to tell you before I introduce myself to you. Unfortunately, I cannot work with dogs/cats who need topical flea medication (drops/creams). This is due to an allergy so no exceptions. I do put the dogs in a crate when I am not home, this is because I am currently in school/work. Now that's over with, I am a Christian pet sitter and this is one of my favorite scriptures. This is how I believe God wants me to treat animals, this scripture from the bible touches me. Proverbs 12:10 “The righteous care for the needs of their animals…” I feel inspired to fulfill this scripture. With this in mind, I have chosen this line of work as my career path. Second let me tell you about my dog. She is a playful and loveable sweetheart. As the some time, she is very vocal and barks a lot when your pet come though my home door. She is just saying hello.

Previously, I worked in groomer shops, PetSmart, and at the Chula Vista, CA Animal Shelter. I currently volunteer at the SPCA. My dream job would have been to become a Veterinarian. Unfortunately, due to my disability, I found out I would not be able to fulfill that dream. The way I see it, God had other plans for me! Now all I want to be is a dog sitter! I’m comfortable taking care of all ages of dogs with varying needs. I have pet steps, a dog stroller, and a lot of TLC for them! I am also comfortable providing house training if needed. In the past, I worked with a dog named Precious. She had some socialization and trust issues due to her abandonment. When I got her, she was frightened of kids. After two weeks she could have a school full of kids chase her around and she was having fun with it. I taught her that not all humans are bad. I have one dog of my own, Gorgeous. Gorgeous is an older and playful Dachshund. She is my special needs/tripod baby. She loves everyone and that includes other dogs. Every doggy that comes through my door is a potential new friend for her. She loves having doggy friends spend the night but asks that they are just as friendly as her. A little bit about my home. I have a fenced yard and the ability to crate dogs. I would only crate your animal if I am out of the house. Please only bring the necessary items. I have crates, blankets, dog beds, bowls, and toys available. I have a hard time keeping track of other's items due to my busy schedule, so it would be best to keep personal items to a minimum. PLEASE NOTE: I have the right to refuse service for any reason. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward to meeting you and your precious pet!
