I have grown up with and become responsible for my own dogs since I was a baby and my parents rescued my childhood best friend; an Australian Shepard/Rottweiler mix named Wyotie. We grew up together until we were both 14, and it was sadly his time to go. After that, my first love walked into our lives, a Pit Bull named Petey; he still comes before everyone else in my life, and will forever be closest to my heart. Petey and I have gotten through a lot together. Now I have my own girl, Mikasa, a Pit Bull rescue; and she's the best part of my life! I cherish my critter companions, often more than my human companions. It will fill me with joy and contentment to get to know your fur babies' personality and find out the things that make him or her the happiest! I work professionally caring for dogs and cats in a vet hospital kennel. I am confident and have experience with all personalities, including difficult/problem dogs. I would be happy to work with them on obedience training during our time together, if so desired! I have spent my life thus far in close husbandry with many animals; including dogs, cats, rabbits, avians, ferrets, guinea pigs, gerbils & other rodents, reptiles, large and small livestock, various poultry, and a variety of wildlife rehabilitation. I have ridden horses since before I could walk, and would cherish taking care of your farm and/or other pets as well as your dogs and cats! In my house, the day is centered around what makes my critter kids happy; and you can be sure that will be the center of my day with your animals! I do work full time at a kennel, therefore all bookings are subject to my work schedule. I will do my best to keep my calendar updated! However Rover doesn't allow me to block off time frames within the day on the calendar, so we'll just talk it through when you get in touch with me! I am most often available in the mornings before 10am, and after work around 9pm. However my hours are variable and I do sometimes work morning shifts and doubles (the days I'm working doubles I will have completely blocked off on the calendar). When working just a morning shift I am typically free from mid to late afternoon for the rest of the day. No matter what, once you get in touch with me we'll talk about your needs and how I can help around my work schedule! Additionally, pertaining to house sitting requests, you should be aware that because I have my own animals to care for, I will not be able to sleep every night at your house. However if it's imperative that your animals have someone with them overnight, I may be able to work something out with a friend or my boyfriend to watch my animals briefly so that I can provide the best care for your animals!
