I’ve had my own pets since I was born- cats, dogs, fish, gerbils and Guinea pigs- and am comfortable caring for all! Starting in middle school, I’d sit for my nextdoor neighbor’s dog, a loveable golden retriever named Kaze. I walked him daily and stayed with him when they’d travel. I quickly became the go-to sitter for other friends and family members throughout the years. In college I had my own first particularly challenging pet, a Jack Russel named Rudy, who opened my eyes to the importance of training and routine with dogs. I’ve spent time with many pups since, each with their own personalities, sizes and listening styles! 😉 I currently live with my partner and our three cats- Toonces, Carmen San Diego, and Harriet- who I treat like royalty. I take more photos of them than I’d like to admit and will probably send you photos of your pet too. They’re all senior ladies, so I have lots of experience with the extra love and attention necessary for feeding and medicating our older friends. I also spend lots of time with Ralph, my dad’s 6 year old dog, practicing his social skills and snuggling. Finally, I appreciate the mess than sometimes comes with pets and know that it’s important to clean up after our animal friends when they do get messy. I look forward to having as much fun with your pet as I know they’ll have with me!
