You have just found your pet's new best bud! Dogs and cats have been a part of my life as long as I can remember; I grew up with dogs, dog-sat, walked, jogged, hiked, snuggled, and loved animals for my entire life. I have significant experience with almost every type of dog; whether it is a dog show contestant or a rescued mutt, large or small, I love them all! I will provide top notch care, exercise, and enrichment. I would love to provide the same level of intentional care for your dog or cat as well! I have significant experience with high energy dogs, behavioral issues, and handling large breeds and understand that patience and love go a long way in helping animals live their best life. My job as a sports writer covering UNC football and basketball allows for a very flexible schedule almost every day, so whether it is a walks, hike, or just spending quality time of any kind with your pet - I can do it all. I also am up early in the morning, so I am available for early morning walks or attention throughout the day. I would be happy to discuss further what your specific needs are and how I can address them to give your furry friend their best life possible! I am a big believer in the old saying "leave it better than you found it" and will treat your house and your animals as my own. I can provide care for elderly dogs, puppies, and everything in between. I am extremely reliable on scheduling, punctuality, and communication. I am a very active person and would love to provide the best source of exercise for your animals, but am equally willing to spend some down time giving ear scratches and cuddles with those that need it in your home. I have experience with giving medicines, food, etc. as needed.
