I grew up with multiple dogs and cats. I sadly do not currently have a dog, which is why I am eager to love and care for others! I've been volunteering at my local animal shelter on and off for almost 7 years, giving me experience with many breeds of all, shapes, sizes and needs. I am comfortable with rescue pets who will need extra care and time to gain trust, pets with arthritis and other possible health issues with correct instructions. I dog and cat sit for friends and family. I enjoy working out and would love a buddy, and if you have an athletic dog that you would like someone to workout with, I'm your girl! A labor of love doesn't feel like labor at all. If your dog needs a couch buddy, I’m always in need of some cuddles. I pay close attention to detail, and can send as many or as little updates as your please while you're away. I'm confident in my ability to give your pet the care that it needs. I am currently a firefighter and work 24 hours on shift and 48 hours off shift. I’m available on my off days but for stay overs this can occasionally complicate things! Please ask me about my schedule around the time that you’re interested if you need further clarification. Dogs provide an unconditional love for their owners, and in return, I believe we should take care of them and provide that love for them as well!
