I love dogs, and they love me!

Pet care experience

Hi! Over the past few years, especially during the pandemic, I've come to really appreciate the therapeutic power a dog possesses in just grounding you and helping you give and receive love and not take life too seriously. I didn't grow up with dogs (although I always wanted one!) due to my parents having bad allergies, but ever since I moved out, met my sister's (now) husband's dog, and moved in next door to neighbors who had *literally* the fluffiest, most loving, and adorably spazzy dogs, I became sold on getting a rescue dog myself someday when I can properly afford to give my dog the best life ever. In the interim, I love playing with and cuddling dogs every chance I get, and just hanging out with them and giving them all the love in the world possible. I have limited petcare-sitting experience (a few overnights, taking care of friends' dogs, and helping out with past childcare family clients' pets), but I treat every dog the same: as an opportunity to make a new friend, give a little bit of love, and remind them who's a good boy/girl. 😍

Safety, trust & environment

I would make sure to treat each dog as the individual that it is, while offering the same high level of personalized service, attention, and commitment to every client, no matter the dog or owner I'm working with. I would make sure to keep a record of any special needs or fears each dog has that the owner would communicate to me, and work with and within those to the best of my capabilities. I would especially just make sure to ask you to give plenty of pets, cuddles, and belly rubs, and play as many fetch marathons as the dog desires, too.

Information Mary B. would like to know about your pet

Any allergies or preferences your dog has! I want them to feel as safe and loved as possible. :) I'd love to know their favorite toys, routines, etc.--anything that helps me love them the best way I can, and the way they love to be loved.

A typical day

I LOVE cuddling dogs. One of my old next door neighbor's dogs would literally sit there and lick me for *hours*. I used to go outside on our little duplex porch whenever I'd hear barking in the hopes I'd get to just sit and play with them...I think my neighbors eventually caught on, LOL!
