PS: I am quite allergic to cats. I can housesit with a feline in the home if they are an aloof-type kitty, but any aggressive cuddlers, unfortunately, would make for an unpleasant stay.

A typical day

I love whatever activity your pup loves! Long walks? Done. Sniffing all the things on parks or trails? Lets go. Couch potato? Bring on the cuddles. I too, love all those things and will tailor our weekend together to match your pups specific needs and interests.

Pets are family! ❤️

Pet care experience

Hello, I moved here from Denver November 2024 and while I don't have pets of my own, I am always looking to keep furry, four-legged friends in my life! I have grown up with a wide range of animals (they are on display in my photos!) and have experience with many large K9 breeds and mixes including the popular Lab, German Shepherd, Pitty and Husky breeds. Growing up, we always rescued dogs so behavior problems and handicaps do not scare me. I have experience with training through prey drives, reactivity, food aggression, and working through anxiety to name the more common concerns from rescues. Should your pup be of high energy I am comfortable with long walks, tug-of-war, fetch, and other pup games, or can load up the car to explore the local trails or parks. If your pup is more of a couch potato, bring on the lovies. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member!
