Update 6/5/26 - With rising gas prices I've had to raise prices to make up for how much driving I'm having to do. That being said, I will adjust this based on location if you are within 5 miles of me, I will deduct $15 per night from the final price, within 10 miles I will deduct $7.50 per night, and beyond will be full price. I have had the pleasure of caring for two incredible dogs throughout different periods of my life. Tully, my beloved Golden Retriever, was my faithful companion during my early years as a dog owner. Tully taught me the importance of patience, exercise, and maintaining a routine. We enjoyed numerous walks together, where I learned the art of leash training and the significance of providing mental and physical stimulation to keep him happy and content. Tully's gentle and playful nature made him a joy to be around, and I cherished the bond we shared. In addition to my time with Tully, I also had the privilege of caring for Bubbles, a wonderful Rottweiler-Lab mix. Bubbles came into my life later, and I quickly learned the unique needs and characteristics of larger breeds. With Bubbles, I focused on ensuring she received ample exercise to keep her active and engaged. We embarked on long walks and adventurous hikes, allowing me to develop a deep understanding of the energy levels and exercise requirements specific to larger dogs. Bubbles also taught me the importance of positive reinforcement training and building trust through consistent routines. Her loving and affectionate personality warmed my heart, and I thoroughly enjoyed our time together. Beyond my personal pets, I have also had the opportunity to extend my love for dogs by watching over other people's furry friends. I have experience in dog sitting for friends and family, ensuring their dogs received the attention, exercise, and care they deserved while their owners were away. I made sure to follow any specific instructions given to me, whether it was regarding feeding schedules, medication administration, or special exercise routines. Additionally, I have previous work experience in brewery taprooms, where I had the joy of interacting with numerous dogs. I cherished the moments spent playing with these furry visitors, understanding the importance of creating a safe and comfortable environment for them amidst the hustle and bustle of the taproom. Overall, my pet care experience has provided me with a deep appreciation for the unique needs and individual personalities of dogs. I am dedicated to ensuring their well-being, happiness, and safety, and I look forward to extending my passion for dogs as a reliable and trustworthy dog walker and sitter."
