Hi pet parents! As a former animal shelter staffer, I have plenty of professional experience handling and caring for dogs, including positive reinforcement training and medical care. Now, as a full-time work from home employee with Travis County, I dogsit just for the love of it! I've been dogsitting regularly for over a decade, watching a number of different types of dogs-- old, young, sick, very rambunctious, active, easy-going, dogs with strict diets, dogs with strict training regiments. I like to keep folks updated while I watch their dogs, with texts and photos, so you'll never worry about how your dog is doing. Expect lots of photos! I have one dog of my own, a 11 year old Italian greyhound. She is spayed and very sweet. She gets along with other dogs but can be shy at first (she has a classic greyhoundish nervous disposition). She generally prefers to ignore other dogs these days, but if your pup has a similarly chill personality and love for naps, she’ll happily cuddle with them on the couch! Your dog will be in good hands— I know how stressful boarding can sometimes be for pets and pet parents alike, and work with each family to make sure I deliver the best possible care at all times. Feel free to ask any questions when first considering a booking with me!
