Hi! I am a lifelong dog owner missing daily interaction since old Katie passed away. :( I also love cats, rats, guinea pigs, reptiles, and even some of the "creepier" pets! As a homemaker and freelancer, I have a totally flexible schedule, and I can fill in for you on short notice, even on the holidays! In addition to being great with pets and available for your Christmas and New Years needs (hurray for family all living in town!), I am a mom, which means no mess is too big or too gross, and no temper tantrums can faze me anymore! If you like, I also know several nearby jogging trails, public parks, and playgrounds where your dog can run around as much as you like. Just ask!
