Hi there! I'm a long-time Atlanta area resident (almost 20 years, altogether), & have been in Woodstock for about 6 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 had Dylan, my previous Shiba Inu, since he was 4 months old, and I did lots of thorough training with him as a pup. He got daily compliments on how calm & sweet he was ever since! I will bring the love & experience I have with my dogs (& cats!) 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 currently have a rescue flamepoint Siamese cat named Venus, & a rescue dog named Harrison. When my last dog 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 your pet!
