I love dogs and they love me!
Pet care experience
I fell in love with dogs when my daughter adopted a rescue mutt several years ago. I have since taken regular care of Stanley while she travels for her job. Our human-dog bond has taught me how important dogs can be to our well-being, and what unique personalities they have. I have also walked dogs for shelters, and love the frisky pups as much as the shy older dogs. I enjoy grooming dogs (I'm not talking about poodle do's, but the brushing and cleaning) and playing with them. I think it's important that dogs have a consistent experience, so I take care to follow the owners' advice about feedings, walks, and activity levels. I also just like to pet them a lot! I think it's important for dogs to be given a lot of attention.
Reviews
Pam was a lifesaver for me! I had a cancelled flight that left my dog home alone (I was supposed to be back, other sitter had already left). Pam ran over early morning to hang with Winnie, and was really responsive and flexible as my travel plans continued to change. She clearly cares about my dog and is very sweet to her.
Pam is great!! Takes excellent care of my dog Winnie and is super communicative and respectful of my house!!
I love the Pam since so many pictures. My dogs love her.
Pam did a great job staying at my house with my 4-yr-old miniature poodle while I was away. I could tell when I got back that he had a really fun time with her, and he had been super well cared for. She sent lots of adorable photos, too. I would definitely hire her again!

Safety, trust & environment
I try to follow what the owners would like for their pets in terms of love and discipline. I personally love to pet them for a while after our walks. I would need to have free parking available for dog sits.
Information Pamela N. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences. I would like to know the feeding and walking schedule, when they usually go to sleep at night and for how long. If there are any fears or anxieties about other dogs. Are treats allowed, and if so, how often? Any special quirks or likes? I would prefer dogs who don't pull strongly, as my hand has been injured by this in the past.
A typical day
If the owners prefer, I can take the dog on long walks in parks. If shorter walks are preferred, I would probably go around the neighborhood, unless there's too much traffic. We could then go to a dog or regular park. I like to play fetch with dogs, or with dog toys. I think it's important for most dogs to be as active as possible, considering health issues.

Availability
I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, so I can take various times for walks and do dog sitting on most days of the week.
