A tired dog is a good dog

Pet care experience

I have over 20 years of experience in pet and house sitting and am excited to advertise my services for the first time. I currently have a dog, Porter, and a cat, Milo who keep me continually connected to the pet care scene. Though Porter is on the smaller side, I consider my specialty to be giant breed dogs; the bigger, the better! I've cared for a variety of dogs and cats through all stages of life, from potty training puppies to pain management for seniors. I'm experienced administering medications, including feline insulin shots. I am also able to offer light grooming services, like baths and daily brushings. I'm easy to get in touch with but generally self-sufficient with provided instructions. I will happily video chat and send pictures so that you can get a fix of your loved one while you're away. I'll use your commands and hand gestures to communicate with your pet and follow your instructions to a T. More than anything, I will shower your pet with love, always ensuring their comfort, health, and safety.
