Hello! Welcome to my page filled with dog-loving goodness! Update: I am back to being able to walk dogs of all sizes, however, occasionally health flares happen where I might be too fatigued to give high energy pup walks over 20 minutes - but if you have a backyard I can guarantee I will find a way to get their energy out, or will add to with with brain/ minor training games. I also will be applying to full time jobs, so I will currently only be accepting gigs that are ok with the possibility of me working a 9-5 M-F by the time of the stay. Rates will be reduced for days that I am working if you have multiple dogs. A little about me: I usually specialize in reactive/ disabled/ older pups, and welcome all. I was raised in the Northern CA foothills, taking care of cats, dogs, chickens, and more. I have been professionally dog-sitting for a little over 4 years now. Prior to Joining Rover a year ago, I pet-sat for friends and had a handful of cat and house-sitting gigs. I am open to pet-sitting for almost any animal, and I can take care of your plant friends too! I am good with all animals, but especially dogs. I’ve almost always lived with dogs so caregiving for them is a second nature to me. I am very aware of my body language around pups, and I have worked with a lot that have reactivity issues, along with pups with other sensitivities or disabilities. I am also comfortable with giving dogs medication (I have only personally given oral medication and eye drops, but if another type is needed, I am open to learning from you.). Prior to pet-sitting, I will always like to meet your dog/s and get a run down of their needs and routines. I love to send (p)updates with photos while you are away so you are filled in on how they are doing, and I will always ask questions or tell you if something seems off. I absolutely love taking them for long walks when I can. I am very flexible and adaptable to each pups individual needs. I have sat for pit bulls, mastiffs, labs, cockapoos, miniature poodles, border collies, cattle dogs and unknown mixes, walking and leash training puppies, pit bulls, huskies (and one adorable husky-corgi), German Shepard mixes, Great Danes, and more! My rates are fixed for single dogs, no matter the size again barring any special circumstances. I figure we can fine-tune a rate that is comfy for both of us if need be, based on individual needs for multiple animals. I am vaccinated but still extremely covid-cautious and will always make sure I am bringing a safe environment to your pup. I look forward to hearing from you!
