I don’t think that there really is anything better in life than bringing happiness into the world. Whether that be human or canine happiness, it’s my job to make people and puppies happy! Being a dog sitter really is a dream come true for me, because it allows me to do what I do best: provide awesome care to great dogs and their owners. I’m a people pleaser, so doing the best for people (and pups!) is just what comes second nature to me. I don’t think my life would be complete without a dog in it! I grew up on a farm surrounded by tons of different animals, and my childhood dogs were a Chihuahua and a Norwegian Elkhound. Since then, I’ve been taking care of dogs big and small, so pups of all stripes are welcome! I have no breed restrictions, although I do have a soft spot in my heart for massive dogs that think that they’re lap dogs! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. My goal is to make you and your pup feel completely comfortable and well taken care of during a stay. For me, I believe that great communication is the best way to make that happen. Even before the stay starts, I like to chat and get a good idea about what makes your pup happy and what your care expectations are. That way, I can already start designing the dream stay for your pup. When they’re under my care, I’ll provide detailed daily updates on anything you need to be in the know on—from meal prep to exercises times to particular behaviors.
