I am a very reliable, patient, and flexible person and I believe my work ethic and experience with animals will transfer to becoming a wonderful sitter for your furry companion. I have always owned a dog - a miniature schnauzer growing up and a husky-cattle dog mix now - and I volunteered for a year at a dog sledding company with about 40 rambunctious, bouncing-off-the-wall huskies. I've seen my fair share of snarling teeth and wagging tails alike and I know how to handle both situations with a level head. I am also an avid hiker, climber, and kayaker and I am happy to take your dog on a longer adventure throughout the day if you'd like them especially tired out. I know how I'd want my dog looked after while I'm away, and I will ensure those standards are met when I care for yours.
