Hello furmamas and furpapas of the interwebs! First things first: My name is Cruz, I recently relocated back to the Triangle after spending a year in Missouri.I am pursuing a degree in Social work with a minor in trauma informed care. In my free time I love going on trails and finding all the secret foodie spots! Now down to business: I have provided my doggy services since 2017 and honestly, it is a pretty fun way to spend my days. I really do love animals and during our meet and greet my goal is to really connect with your dog(s) so both of you feel comfortable with me. I do have experience and patience to handle animals who struggle with anxiety (you may have even chosen me because you saw that in my verified reviews) so if that's the case with your furbabes, we can navigate that together. For house sitting requests, I do ask that clients be mindful. Rover charges a per night rate so I try to check out by 5pm for when the booking ends. This is just courtesy as it would be unfair to ask me to provide a full day of services but not have to pay the additional day. If you know that your return time is going to be late that night, let's discuss what that looks like so there are no surprises later. if your pets have any triggers-- PLEASE let me know. I always try to be sensitive of that. I have weekends off, which allow me the ability to offer top notch care during the weekends. I also have a puppy of my own, so I’ve got a lot of hands on experience caring for my dog- and others.
