Over the past few years, I moved several times while exploring different parts of the country. It's not a great lifestyle for having a pet, but through friendships with pet owners, experience working for a dog groomer shop and dog-sitting, I've gotten plenty of slobbery kisses just the same. I've taken care of young and feisty dogs with separation anxiety, as well as older dogs requiring medication on a frequent and time-sensitive basis. I'm physically fit and active, and enjoy walking (or even running) with dogs. And I'm reliable and take pet-care responsibilities seriously. I grew up with a dog and a couple of cats, and have experience dog-and-cat-sitting at friends' homes as well as providing drop-in visits and dog walks on an as-needed basis. I'll take care of your pet as if they were my own!
