Highlights
Pet care experience
Tail Wags Promised!
I've had two toy poodles in my lifetime, and cared for friends' and family's puppies / dogs whenever they've offered. I've handled small, medium, and large dogs and feel comfortable with them all. Your biggest concern should be that your dog will be too spoiled while they're with me. I'm aware that some dogs may run off, and am alert to the sound of scurrying paws making a beeline for the road. I will be your dog's second best friend and caretaker and be sure to send you photos of our adventures! I volunteered for an NGO called Dogs on Deployment while I lived in San Diego, taking care of deployed military members' pets. Really, I have the biggest heart, will be responsible with your pet, and make sure that everything that you need to get done gets done.

Safety, trust & environment
My cat is let outside pretty regularly so that he can get the mental stimulation that he needs as a Siamese. I’ve also leash trained him and he knows a few tricks, as I’m hoping to continue to trail train him to go on backpacking trips with me. He’s already been really receptive. As far as other people’s pets go, I obviously lead with what their pet routine is. I won’t push any of my own trainings on the style of pet ownership of the owner whose pet I’m caring for.
