I was raised around dogs (and cats, and a menagerie of other animals, from lizards to hedgehogs)! I have experience walking dogs professionally, and dog- and cat-sitting for friends and family. I LOVE getting to meet and spend time with dogs! I have walked and cared for all kinds of dogs, from my own chihuahua (Desdemona, the cutest dog on earth!) to my dad's gigantic Irish Wolfhound, and I truly feel like it is a privilege to spend time with any dog I meet! I am a freelance audiovisual technician, which means that my schedule is fairly flexible. With a few days' notice, it is very easy for me to be on the spot when and where your dog needs me. Just ask, and I can almost always make it work! I am unfortunately not able to care for dogs in my own home right now (strict pet policies in my apartment building), but I look forward to meeting your pups on their home turf! I love walking dogs-- matching their energy level whether they need a run or a nice relaxed stroll, stopping at the park if possible, and making sure that they have the most fun ever! If you need an in-home sitter, I will make sure that your doggo is fed and watered, has a clean environment and maximum outdoors time, and lots of play and affection! For in-home dog-sitting jobs, please let me know if there is anything else you need I am more than happy to help!
