I have no breed restrictions and am comfortable with all ages from puppy to senior. I have a background in Veterinary Medicine so I am very confident caring for sick and elderly dogs as well as dogs with behavioral issues. I do need to be made aware of any of the following information in advance in order to provide the best quality of care: 1) Does your dog have any medical issues? (what medications they are taking, who is their vet, etc.) 2) Does your dog have any behavioral issues? (aggression toward kids or other dogs, separation anxiety, etc)

My pet-sitting style is very much tailored to each individual dog and their needs/personality. Because of this, I find that it is very important to have a phone consultation with each pet owner before my first appointment so I can get a sense of their dog's likes and dislikes. Companionship, food, and exercise are the principle daily goals with each of my dogs. I will often walk older dogs and/or dogs who have very set routines along familiar neighborhood routes in order to minimize stress. If your dog is an energetic social butterfly, however, I am just as happy to grab a ball and head for a nice grassy field or go for a hike around Alston Park and give your pooch a chance to socialize with other dogs. I am always open to special requests, your dog's comfort and happiness are my primary concern. I also do offer a daily pet journal service where I provide a brief written summary of your dog's daily activities as well as a photo from the day.
