I have had dogs and cats my entire life and am comfortable caring for animals with a variety of different needs. I worked at a wildlife shelter growing up, am comfortable giving medicine to both dogs and cats (topically and orally), providing long hikes and also neighborhood walks. Experienced with both puppies and senior dogs, as well as kittens, senior cats. I really care about the well being of each animal and strive to make each animal feel as little stress as possible while their owner is absent. I work in the entertainment industry so when I am off, sometimes I have months of down time in between jobs. So I am extremely flexible and available to a variety of schedules/needs. I know each animal is different and like to approach them as such. It's building a relationship and getting to know the pet and their needs. If we are going on a walk and they like to have a friend, I have a lovely sweet dog who can join us. If they need some more focused attention, I can give solo walks ranging from long hikes or short neighborhood walks, depending on the dog's needs.
