I've had pets my whole life, and have been caring for other peoples for years! I grew up here in Newtown, CT. My childhood consisted mostly of playing with dogs in my huge backyard. I went to college in northern New England, and then returned to my hometown after graduation. I know this area very well, especially the lakes, hiking trails, and dog parks where I choose to spend most of my free time. I love spending lots of time outside - hiking, kayaking, swimming - so I would be happy to spend lots of time playing with your dog in a yard or hiking on trails. I work in marketing remotely with few hours in office, so I have flexibility to care for your dogs and make sure they are never alone for more than a few hours. Although now is not the right time for me to have another furry family member in my life, I really do miss that quality animal time. I am constantly asking permission to pet dogs and love a chance to really spend time with them and get to know each dogs unique and adorable personalities. I know you consider your dogs family too and you will miss them while you're away, so I will make sure to send you pictures and updates everyday. Life without a companion animal can at times be a little...mundane. The good news is I am completely available to take care of your dogs in the comfort of their own home without any added complication of introducing them to other animals. Please give me the opportunity to get to know every member of your dog family!
