I have a profound love for animals and dedicated passion to their well-being. As someone who grew up with dogs and cats, I honestly cannot remember my life without having a furry friend to love and care for. When I was 6 years old my family adopted a dog who would become my primary responsibility for the next 12 years. When I was 22, I adopted my own dog, Yoda, who is truly my best friend and brings so much joy to my life. Aside from my own pets, I have been a sitter for friends, coworkers, and family members periodically for 10+ years and am no stranger to the requirements of pet care. Additionally, I have experience with dogs who may have special needs, such as those with partial- paralysis, old age, limb amputation, bathroom assistance, etc. I know that each animal has their own unique personality, and I take the time to learn what their needs and wants are so that your fur baby feels loved and fulfilled every day! I also know that some furry friends take longer than others to be trusting of a new face in their home, and I am very experienced in allowing the time and space your pet might need to feel safe and loved with a new friend. I only want to give them the most fun, comfort, and love that I can while we're together, while keeping you updated with photos and messages along the way!
