I grew up with dogs in my life, as my family has always had at least two dogs at any given time. I understand first hand everything that a dog can bring into your world and what an invaluable member of the family they inevitably become. I began dog sitting around the neighborhood in my teens, for dogs of all breeds, and I've come to appreciate them more and more as time goes on. Every dog has his or her own personality but always manages to put the same smile on my face. I've also had and raised a puppy of my own in more recent years. I know the hardships of puppy training and constant care. And I know how difficult it is to find a trustworthy and caring sitter for your dog when you can't be there - you want the next best option, and I'm here to help! I'm available to visit your home to care for your pet periodically or over longer stays. Whether you need a dog walker a couple times a week, need someone to give your dog a little extra attention each day before you get home late, or need someone for a longer period while you're away on a trip, I can be of service. I'd love to get to know your dog and be there when you can't. Please let me know what you're looking for, and I'll be happy to work with you and your dog together!
