Hi! I'm a longtime dog owner and petsitter with a great deal of experience with positive reinforcement training. I have worked as a volunteer and kennel attendant for multiple animal shelters, caring for dogs of a wide variety of breeds, ages, energy levels, and personality types. I love making connections with new dogs! I also have experience administering medicine to dogs (eye drops, pills, ear drops, etc), and I know how to make a dog feel safe and comfortable in a stressful situation. As a dog owner myself, I understand what it's like to worry about leaving your dog alone, and I'm happy to help take some of that stress away for both dog and owner by providing capable and loving care. I've been pet-sitting for about 15 years and can provide you with references upon request. Also, as an owner of a special needs senior dog, I'm happy to care for your senior and special needs animals with as much care as I give to my own. And of course, I will happily send you lots of photos and/or videos of your pet while you are away!
