I have loved being a professional dog walker, daycare monitor and overnight caregiver for over 10 years both as an employee and independently. I have a great understanding of dogs and they respond well to me whether we are meeting for the first time or we have had a long term relationship. Here's of one of my 5 star reviews: "Louise is everything I would want in a pet sitter and more...we left her for 8 days with three dogs...completely calmed my nerves with her confidence." Gretchen T I have passed both a CORI and a First Advantage background check. Since 1999, I have been a part time Wedding Coordinator at King's Chapel in Boston. My work experience also includes: thirteen years as a Federal Employee; seven years as an Elder Caregiver and fifteen years as an Event Manager for several catering companies and Harvard University. I have served a term as a member of the executive board and I am currently on the governing board at my church. I have participated in three Habitat for Humanity builds in Romania, Honduras and South Africa. I am also an artist interested in pottery, watercolor painting, and interior design. Why I love dog sitting I have been around and loved dogs all my life I have been a dog's person for over 25 years. I love being in the company of dogs, I understand dogs and thus they understand me. I love caring for dogs in their own home where they are happiest, they get lots of cuddle time, walks and treats.
