I wish I could pet every pupper I meet! I know they can sense how much I love them, which makes it easy to form a quick bond. My husband, Shannon, is just as much of a dog lover as I am, and he has a natural way with them. Even people who say, "Don’t worry, she doesn’t like anyone," are surprised at how quickly we become friends with their little lass or lad. Those connections make walking, playing, or sitting together a real joy. While I’m the primary sitter, your fur baby will get double the love and attention when staying with us. We live in a one-bedroom apartment with a courtyard just outside where all the neighborhood dogs play. It’s a great space for outdoor time and socialization, but everyone is also very respectful when a pup is anxious or uncomfortable around other dogs. Shannon and I have seen it all when it comes to dog behavior, so we’re comfortable handling a wide range of needs and personalities. You can count on my keeping your pup’s routine as close to your own care as possible. I love sending lots of photo and video updates because, let’s face it, the cuteness doesn’t stop just because you’re out of town! I know you and your pup will miss each other—I just hope I can keep the whole family happy in the meantime. I can’t wait to meet yours!
