The love I receive from dogs is unconditional and I definitely need them as much as they need me. As a pet sitter, I have the opportunity to build bonds and connections with different dogs and their owners and can’t wait to not only use my experience and love to care for your pup, but extend my knowledge of dogs through the means of pet sitting. Currently, I’m a student of Animal Behavior College where I study dog obedience training. I also spend a good amount of my time volunteering with the Pasco County Animal Services shelter in Land O Lakes. As a volunteer, I enjoy socializing and walking the dogs that reside on site at the facility, as well as socializing felines! I’ve even had the opportunity to work under a certified trainer to hone my skills and observe dog behavior assessments. I also have studied alongside a certified trainer for dog behavior assessments while pursuing my certification for dog obedience training. I understand how hard it is to be away from your furry friend so I’ll be extremely attentive to you and your pup’s needs. I have an extremely flexible schedule and can be available all day to care for your pup. I believe that I am responsible, punctual, and optimistic. I will always make sure to communicate openly and punctually with my clients to make sure they are receiving the best service. I will be happy to address and discuss all of my clients' concerns in a timely manner. When it comes to dogs I am extremely thorough with my work and never miss a detail. I believe in working as scheduled so that I may be efficient in tending to my clients' needs. Finally, a positive demeanor creates a happy environment for everyone and makes working a pleasure as opposed to an inconvenience. I have over eight years of experience caring for dogs, including a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. In addition to my history with dogs, I have a long standing history with cats. I also socialize cats at a nearby local shelter. I would be very happy to offer my services to cats as well and because I currently own three cats, I’m very comfortable providing care to felines. In my free time, I’m a freelance artist. Your pup might even be the subject of my art. I am excited to create new friendships with dogs and their owners!
