I am retired from a career in a local NJ hospital where I worked as a staff nurse in hemodialysis. Although I've only been dog sitting on a professional level since summer of 2018, I don't do it to earn a living but to supplement my Social Security plus I enjoy spending time with these beautiful animals and I am very comfortable being around them. You can count on me to pay close attention to details involving each one and to follow any instructions that you might leave for me while caring for your pet. I have had dogs and cats of my own for most of my life and understand that they truly are a member of your family. I love their loyalty and devotion; I feel they are excellent companions and often better at reading people than many people. A number of years ago I had inherited "Rascal", a cocker spaniel after a patient I had cared for sadly past away; but the joy that Rascal brought into everyone's life was incredible, and he knew that's was what he was supposed to do and did so for over 18 years. I now have "Josie", an amazing cat and companion. I'm currently sitting for/caring for 3 dogs during the week (Amber, Sophie, and Wilson) along with overnight stays on weekends and occasionally longer. I love spending time with these beautiful, intelligent animals and look at it as more of a privilege to be able to do so. I hope you will consider me for your pet needs.
