I’ve been around dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. I was always the kid who would choose playing with the dogs over playing with the other children! When I was 13, my family got a Westie named Millie, who was a huge part of my life until I left home at 18. I also owned horses throughout my teenage years, so caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. In my 20s, I worked at a summer camp as the Ranch Director, where I was responsible for caring for the animals and managing staff on a farm with 14 horses, pigs, alpacas, sheep, rabbits, and chicks. That experience gave me a lot of hands-on experience with animals of all kinds and taught me the importance of being attentive, responsible, and consistent when caring for them. I’ve been wanting a dog of my own for years, but I haven’t quite taken the plunge yet! So, for now, I absolutely love getting my dog fix by taking care of other people’s pups. I regularly cared for my sister-in-law’s two little black rescue dogs, who were both mixed breeds. I absolutely loved spending time with them, and they became very special to me before sadly passing away a couple of years ago. I’m also always the first person my friends call when they need someone to watch their dogs, and I genuinely enjoy having them around. I have a 4-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son, and they both LOVE dogs. They are gentle, respectful, and very affectionate with animals, and they love helping to care for them. Some of my previous pet-sitting clients have even commented on how much they appreciated the extra love and attention their dogs received from my kids! I’m happy to provide references from multiple people, including both professional clients and friends whose pets I’ve cared for. Most importantly, I will treat your dog like they are part of our family while they’re with us—with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care.
