Life is better with dogs in it. I have had dogs all my life, and I feel enriched because of them. I am a pet sitter because I enjoy helping other people and caring for animals. I enjoy meeting new dogs and learning about their personalities. Dogs are so loyal and loving, and every dog is special in its own way! I have had dogs all my life. I currently have one dog, Jasmine, and three cats (one is mine, one is my son's, and one belonged to my mother before she passed away). I prefer to have pairs of pets (one male and one female) so they always have a playmate. I look forward to rescuing another dog as soon as I am able. I fostered my father's dog when his late wife was ill. I volunteer on a horse farm for special needs riders and have been called upon numerous times to care for my friend's pets when they go away or even needed help for the day — even for a pack of seven foster dogs. Three words I would use to describe myself are honest, loyal and dependable. I believe every relationship is built on trust, and that open communication is key to facilitating a trusting relationship. Once I get to know someone I am happy to help them as often as possible even if it requires a bit of juggling of my schedule in order to accommodate their needs. If I say I am going to do something I make sure to follow through. My word is my bond and my reputation is very important to me. I want people to be confident in me at all times. I volunteer on a horse farm for special needs riders. I enjoy being around horses and don't mind the hard work that is involved with taking care of them. Winston Churchill once said there is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man. I believe this is true of all animals.. I enjoy caring for all animals, and would be happy to care for other pets as well. I keep trying to convince the farm manager that we need a therapy camel as well! I enjoy hiking in the woods. I love when the weather warms out, because it allows me to get out more and explore nature with my pup. Pet care is my full time career. I'm willing to go above and beyond for my client's specific needs.i try to accommodate every request and only say no when it's just not feasible for me to provide excellent service to everyone. I take the time to get to know my clients and their specific needs and concerns. I don't hesitate to ask questions if I am unsure about anything. I do my best to accommodate each individual pet whether they are nervous and have separation anxiety or a bite history. I do my best to work with my clients to ensure a positive experience.
