Animal lover, mom, student, wellness coach/energy healer. I've owned a few dogs in my lifetime - current circumstances do not allow me to have one, but I will certainly enjoy getting to know yours! My most recent dog was cocker/poodle mix that came out of a mill - she was terrified of everything. I used consistency, walks and meditation to rehabilitate her to a happy, healthy, confident companion. She is now with a family that adores her and they are building on my efforts. Previous dog was a Malamute - I was her 5th home, and she was elderly when she came to me. We were a great family, along with my teenage son - I even managed to take her to Parris Island for the Marine bootcamp graduation! Why I love dog sitting I've owned several over my lifetime. Most recently rehabbed a puppy mill mom for 4 years. She's doing great! Lost my corporate gig, so living with friends now and loving any time I get with other dogs. Regarding appointments: I say what I mean and I mean what I say. If I set up an appointment with you, I will keep it. If you attempt to "confirm" the day of the appointment, and I am sleeping, or working, I will not respond. But I will show up at the agreed upon time. Also, no last-minute drop-offs.... meet and greet is mandatory.
