I am a dog owner that has never had children... because dogs are my kids! I have had dogs since I was a little girl. I love them, and want them to know they are loved! Dogs (generally) have a lot of energy and deserve to play and be dogs! If they're older and want to rest, they can do that too! I am an effective communicator, with even some calling me a dog-whisperer, given my calming and playful nature. I have created a life for myself that is flexible, allowing me the freedom to do other things I love, like helping YOU with YOUR loved one. I am an active woman and getting our 4-legged friends out to enjoy nature and the outdoors brings me joy. I have been a sitter and walker for friends over the years and I would now like to open my heart and time to others... :) I do have a 9 year old Aussie named Stella-Blue. If you are making a house-sitting request, our dogs would have to get along! ;)
