Hello! I am so happy for the opportunity to look after your pets. I really miss my girl back home in Nebraska. Her name is Lucy and she's an English Springer Spaniel. When people say they have a high energy dog, I know I can handle it because I've experienced the real deal. Walks everyday. Ball and fetch every other. Plus adhering to strict feeding mixtures and schedules for a sensitive tummy. I understand that pets aren't an accessory, they are a member of the family and deserve to be treated as such. I have been pet sitting for two years now. I grew up with dogs and engaged all kinds of breeds of varying sizes. I currently work at Howie's Doggie Daycare part-time, which has allowed me to observe and understand canine behavior in real time. Being able to read a dog is very important for gaining their trust. Outside of work I have been helping a Boxer-Mastif mix with Degenerative Myelopathy. He has trouble walking, but I have had no trouble with holding him to go to the bathroom or get from room to room. I've even put him in a pet harness to make sure he still gets to experience the joy of walking. Sure there's extra messes every so often (that's what Natures Miricle is for), but it's worth it to make sure he's content and nourished in his senior years. I am hoping for some extra money on the side from walking dogs, but I'm not in it just for that. I truly care and love all animals. I want to fill the void of missing my own pup by making yours as happy and comfortable as possible.
