Hi, I'm Becky! I'm committed to caring for your furry friends in all the ways you care for them: an endless supply of pets and encouraging words, tasty meals and treats, and interesting walks at their pace (even runs if that's more their speed). Plus, I can learn new tricks, so I'd be happy to learn your pet's favorite game or activity and do it with him/her. I have 2 dogs (read below) whom I live away from now (and I miss them!), so I have SO much love to share with your pets! I have experience caring for cats (my family has had a cat for 12 years) and small rodents like guinea pigs, mice and hamsters. And I'm not just limited to furry friends! As a naturalist at an environmental education center, I was responsible for caring for snakes, lizards, turtles, and fish. My lifelong love for animals extends to all species :) A female golden retriever and a male golden-doodle are my furry best friends. They have extremely different temperaments - one is calm and sweet, the other is high-strung and relentlessly energetic (can guess which is which?). I love to care for them, go for walks and runs, brush and bathe them, and play endless games of fetch. These two dogs have taught me a lot about the different needs that different individuals have as well as different breeds. Every dog and cat (and other pets) has a different personality and varying needs, and I've experienced a large portion of that spectrum. I'd love to meet your furry best friend(s) and get to know them better. I do work full time, but my schedule can be flexible. I am available for morning walks and evening walks during the weekdays, and I am available most weekends throughout the day. I look forward to working with you and your pets! -Becky
