I have owned 3 wonderful dogs of my own throughout my life, and they have all left their little paw prints on my heart. I know how important little fur-babies are to us humans, and I understand how hard it is to be away from them! I will make sure that person and pup are at ease during their separation. In addition to being a dog owner, I have also been a long-time pet sitter (including kitties and horses!). I have sat for a variety of dogs, ranging from chihuahuas to pitbulls, and am confident and comfortable with all sizes and breeds. If I stay at your house, I we will go for a walk of at least 30 minutes both in the morning and evening. I am happy to go on two evening walks for more energetic dogs. I do work during the day (downtown San Diego), but will go to your home during my lunch break for some belly rubs and a potty break. I am very reachable by cell 24/7 if anything comes up while you are away. I have a car with a hatchback trunk and can transport your dog to the vet or anywhere else if necessary. I just recently lost my little fur-baby, so I have a lot of pet love to give, and hoping to get some back in return!
