Thank you for your interest in me as your pet caretaker. Like you, I am an animal lover and I have had pets my entire life including a beautiful golden retriever, a stubborn but sweet shih tzu, a high energy border collie and a pair of goofy but lovable cats. During my free time, I volunteer at Austin Pets Alive with cats at what they call the "Cattery" as well as walking and caring for dogs at the Town Lake location. This has been incredibly fulfilling and I love every minute of spending time there. I have been walking dogs professionally since October 2017 and I can walk any kind of dog there is: large, small, young, elderly, high energy and calm. If you like, I will also run with your dog. I take this job very seriously because I know that your animal is not just a pet, it is a member of your family and I will treat it like it's my own. Additionally, if you have specific house rules and commands for your pet, please let me know so that I can provide consistent care and training. Thank you for trusting me with your family dog or cat and I can't wait to meet your pet!
