Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog-lover dedicated to your pet!
I grew up with an English Springer Spaniel, which started my love of dogs. In college, I volunteered at a dog shelter and sometimes fostered dogs. I have been dog and house sitting ever since. While living in Thailand, I rescued street dogs, then in Ukraine I connected displaced dogs to caring homes. In the U.S., I have done a variety of dog sitting and walking, which has included housesitting on TrustedHousesitters. This entailed taking care pet needs and general upkeep of someone’s home. I am a certified Wilderness First Responder, making me reliable for any special pet medical needs too.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a great area for walks. I’m also happy to come to you for convenience. I am very flexible to what works best for you and your dog(s). I have experience administering medication to dogs and have worked with older and/or disabled dogs (blind, wheels, etc) too.

Mary was so helpful and communicative and Matilda seems very happy!
Thank you, Mary for everything. I appreciate it. Yeah she could just leave those collars on. Makes things a little bit easier and it’s all right that she didn’t eat. She’ll just eat when I get home. I appreciate everything you’ve done. I’m happy that she was excited at first and eventually calm down and yes, there was a situation with skateboards the last time I took her down to the end of Philemon towards 36th St. and it scared the crap out of her so now I have to work on inch and her down there again so I am I know what you’re talking about. Yeah she’ll get to a certain point and wanna come home and that’s fine. That’s fine when when she’s with you again I appreciate it and thank you so much and now you didn’t need to put the water in especially if like you said she drank a sufficient amount so I will see you while she will see you tomorrow lol thank you so much.

- I'm flexible and open-minded, so I recognize life events can change last minutes in terms of plans, availability, pet care expectations and more. The farther I know in advance when you would like me to walk your dog, expectations for the walk/petcare, if medication administration is needed and more is always better, but I recognize this may not be possible. If needs for a dogwalker/care or change of medication administration changed last minute, I understand and hope you just let me know as soon as you know.
