I have dog sitting/walking experience with a private pet care company and have had dogs and cats as part of my family since I was a child. We have an adopted English Springer Spaniel that we've had about 5 years now! She's an expert at retrieving tennis balls. Hana is very well trained and well mannered & gets along with other dogs. She is a true joy for our family. I love to provide your dog/cat all the services needed while you are away- feeding/water, walking, playtime, meds if needed and of course love & companionship at your home. I have raised and cared for dogs and cats since I was a child and worked for Critter Care Petsitting as previous employment. Why I love dog sitting- I have been a dog lover since about age 6 when we got our family dog "Prince,"a Shetland Sheepdog puppy. We raised and obedience trained him and he lived a full life with us. My next dog was Kodiak, "Kody," my Husky Malamute mix, raised from a puppy to age 12 and a mountain living dog. Next was "Nakomi," our red/cream Chow mix adopted dog from an animal shelter. She was part of our family for 10 years until health issues claimed her life. Currently, we have "Hana," our 12 year old English Springer Spaniel. About my yard I have a large fenced back yard.
