I am a huge dog lover; they bring so much sunshine into our lives! I want to put your family at ease that your dog will be cared for lovingly and responsibly, because we all want the best for our pets. As a dog mom to a 13-month old Shih Tzu/Bichon mix named Bella, I am dedicated to providing the best of care to your furry loved ones. Bella came into my life when she was only 11 weeks ago, and I am fully invested her well being and in providing the best experiences for her. I will invest the same energy into caring for your pet. I am a patient, responsible and cautious dog owner who wants the best for my Bella and for all the pets that have blessed our lives. I grew up with a family dog, and over the years I have providing pet sitting and dog walking services for numerous dogs. I am accustomed to taking my puppy on multiple walks a day and being attentive to her needs (she has a lot of energy!). I will provide frequent walks, as needed, for your dog. I am sensitive to the needs of anxious dogs and dogs with special needs and dietary restrictions. I understand dogs of different ages have different energy levels and preferences for socializing with dogs or humans (or both). I live in Linden Hills by Lake Harriet. I am able to drive to your home to provide services, and your pet is also welcome to stay in my home. If staying at my home, Bella would be a sweet and gentle companion to your pet. I look forward to connecting with you regarding your furry loved one! I joined Rover because I am passionate about dogs and providing the best experiences for them. As someone with a pup of my own, I definitely understanding that your pet is a very special part of your family.
