Most everyone has had pets for their entire lifetime, but I've cared for and educated children for the last ten years. Not only am I able to feed, water, cuddle, and play with your pet--I can even teach them to read and do multiplication! Ok, so maybe not, but after years of successfully working with parents and children, I have earned the labels of patient, kind, and trustworthy. When your dog comes to stay with me, I won't just be another sitter, but their home away from home. Your pet is a member of your family and I never forget it. I work from home, so I am available to provide customized, considerate care to your pet, and treat them to the same kind of home environment that they are used to. I'm warm and kind, and dogs can sense this about me. I make them comfortable very quickly, which also helps put you at ease. I love spending time with dogs. I've had them as beloved members of my family, but I also have spent time volunteering at Austin Pets Alive. I'm here for whatever your pet--and you--need. Please reach out to me for more information or if you have any questions. I can't wait to meet both of you.
