Safety, trust & environment

Although I live in an apartment and don't have a yard, there is a dog park right next to my building, and my apartment complex also features grassy areas. I can also walk the dog at Tom Lee Park because it is within walking distance. I am always respectful towards animals and well as the homes I enter when I dog-sit. Pets are treated with love and as members of the family. This means lots of walks, pets, and treats! I treat the homes I dog-sit like my own — cleaning up after the pets in case they make a mess and ensuring everything is clean and just as I found it. I will treat your home with respect and ensure your privacy.

A typical day

I love throwing tennis balls if your dog likes to play fetch, taking the dogs to Tom Lee Park to go on long walks, and taking them to the dog park to see other dogs, if that is something you would be okay with me doing! They will also get lots of pets!

Let me know if your dog has any medication needs and how they take their medication. Let me know if your dog does not do well with other dogs, and I will make sure not to take them to the dog park. Any other quirks about your dog will be good to know or anything special you do with them that you would also like me to know!
