I have pet sat for dogs and cats (as well as other animals) for multiple years spending quality time getting acquainted with new furry friends. I love going for walks with dogs and playing fetch or tug-of-war in the backyard. If your dog enjoys going on hikes through the hills or jogging on trails then we will get along just fine! I have also cared for special needs and senior dogs and cats and enjoy catering to each animal's individual needs. I have a doctorate degree in psychology and use positive reinforcement methods to help shy or excited pets adjust to having a new sitter around. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family member behind so I like to provide regular updates for pet owners with texts and pictures to let them know how their pet is doing.
