Hi there! I'm a long-time Atlanta area resident (about 15 years, altogether), & have been in Woodstock for a couple of years now. I have professional experience doing walking & pet sitting for another former company in town, and photos of some of those furry clients are included in my gallery. (Almost all were subscription customers.) I've had Dylan, my 13 year old Shiba Inu, since he was 4 months old, and I did lots of thorough training with him as a pup. He's gotten daily compliments on how calm & sweet he is ever since! I will bring the love & experience I have with my dog (& cat!) to caring for yours! I'm also open to looking after other pets (sans snakes) if you walk me through their care at the meet & greet! I grew up with two outdoor dogs and have almost always had one or two cats. I also have a cat named Lumiere, who is my pup Dylan's best friend. When Dylan was a puppy, I took him to three months of professional puppy training. I love getting to know pets' personalities and quirks, & I enjoy finding activities that make them happy. I love the feeling of reward or accomplishment that comes from having a cat trust you and reciprocate your affection. I'm good at denying dogs human food, giving commands, dispensing treats, and am a patient dog walker. (Shibas are a smart, charming, but stubborn breed, so I've learned from the best!) I also have experience getting a reluctant dog to take his supplements. :) And as I mentioned, I've owned cats my whole life, so great with them, too! I’m an amateur photographer and I love to practice my skills on my furry clients, so expect plenty of photo updates when your pet is in my care! I also leave thorough notes after our visits. If there are plants that need watering or mail to bring in, I'd be happy to do that, too. Questions? Just ask! I look forward to hearing from you and meeting you & your pet!
