Pet care experience

No dog too big or small! 🐾

I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, from my current GSD to our late Lhasa Apso. My first dog was a Golden Retriever mixed with an Irish Setter, Kelly. I get along with every dog I’ve met and always look forward to making new friends! Every dog I’ve owned has also been trained by myself as I learned from a young age to do so with my dogs. I love all dogs, both big and small as I also live with a Yorkie who my GSD adores! I’ve cared for my boyfriend’s Italian Grey Hound and Whippet numerous times too. I’ve also lived with two cats before and took care of them whenever my room mate was away.

Safety, trust & environment

I will heed everything you tell me about your dog, what’s bad for them, what behaviors should they not be doing, areas of your home they shouldn’t be going into. I want to make sure your dog is safe, healthy, and has fun with me while you’re away so anything I can do to make the process easiest for your pupper or kitty, I will happily do! I understand as well as any other animal lover that these babies are not just pets, they’re family and I’ll take care of your family member as if they were my own!

I don’t have much experience with special need dogs but I’m certainly more than willing to learn how to care for them. Just please let me know what I need to do and I will do it to make sure your pup or cat is properly taken care of.
