I am a very patient and understanding sitter that has experience dealing with delicate temperaments and dogs that need extra attention. I am available week round with the exception of one weekend a month on a predefined schedule. I have experience with tending to pets that have special dietary and care needs. I don't mind getting my hands in and if your dog likes rough housing or nipping, that will not be a problem. I work best with medium sized dogs but am familiar with high energy small dogs and older large dogs. I have had success with learning and accommodating special needs such as dietary and medicinal requirements on the fly and have particular experience with helping older dogs maintain a healthy daily routine.
