Pet care experience

Attentive & Caring Animal Lover

I grew up with dogs for the majority of my life, and have always loved spending time with ALL animals, big and small! Additionally I have experience as a dog walker. I consider myself very caring with great attention to detail. I want you to know that your pet is in the best possible hands with me! I will will give them lots of love, pets and play time and follow your instructions verbatim! *Please note: for doggie boarding requests: any dogs MUST get along well with cats - I have two!*

Lydia is very affectionate with my old kitty and follows the care instructions exceptionally well. She sends me daily photos and a narrative. I feel very safe going away and leaving my cat in her care.

Puppy had the best time, and met two new cat friends who accepted her as if she had been part of their pack forever.

Pets

A typical day

I always love to spoil animals with pets and snuggles. I’m a big fan of dog parks or nice long walks if that’s better for your pup. I am happy to take your dog wherever you’d recommend for some exercise.

I would like to know about the temperament of your pet. I would also like to know how they do with other animals, like dogs, in case we were to encounter one on a walk. I want to know if they are on any medications or have any special needs as well.
