Highlights
Pet care experience
I love caring for fur friends
I've been providing neighborhood pet care since I was 11. Short walkies with tiny terriers, long trails with Labrador retrievers, dog parks, training exercises, puzzle feeders, I've done it and enjoyed it all. I like to make friends with our canine companions, and help them feel safe and secure in the absence of their favorite human(s). I have experience giving pills and administering daily shots, like insulin.

Schedule
I work remotely, so my time is freauently on my own schedule and at my own pace. Having an animal to care for is an added bonus that is easy to work around, and forces me to remember my exercise!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Dogs staying at my house get 2 longer walks and a shorter walk per day, depending on age, energy, and ability of the dog. I also try to incorporate a special enrichment activity every day. Example: dog park, trail, swimming, long play/training session, suited to the dog's interests and abilities. The dog's space in my house is also where I work, so I spend a lot of time hanging out with your dog. At your house, I'll ask for their favorite toy or play routine, to keep their space consistent until you come back. I love to put on an audiobook and take dogs on a "sniff walk" where they can just sniff to their heart's content, such great enrichment for their strong noses.
A typical day
I like to take a sniff step in the morning, followed by a brisk 30 minute walk. In the afternoon, I like a 10-15 minutes sniff walk. And in the evening, I go for another 30 minutes of physical exercise. All dependent on your dog's energy and interest. I'm near a dog park, the Belfast Rail Trail, and other trails to explore.
