Full-Time Quality Dog + Cat Care
Pet care experience
A true animal lover at heart, I love spending time with dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and sizes. ~ DOGS: Growing up, I lived with three dogs: a large Lab/German Shepherd, a little Lhasa Apso, and a sweet Pit Bull. A few years ago, my husband and I rescued a 4 month old puppy from a city shelter. He had a rough start and was found injured, roaming the streets. We've done a lot of professional training with him over the past few years, working with a dog trainer and behavioral specialist. These training sessions have done wonders for him and made me a much more knowledgeable and confident dog parent. Today he's a giant 105 lb lap dog who enjoys cuddles, belly rubs, getting treats for commands, and - of course - walks. I promise to treat your dog just as good as my own and can't wait to get to know their unique personality. I look forward to getting their tail wagging and paws moving, rain or shine, in the great outdoors! If your dog needs a bit more love and exercise, I’m happy to offer 60 minute walks. Have a puppy or older pup? I also offer drop-in visits! *Please note that if you are traveling away from home, my minimum standard of care requires at least 3 drop-in visits per 24 hours in the morning, midday, and evening to ensure the health and safety of your dog. ~ CATS: I've also grown up with several cats and currently have two five year old cats that I rescued from a feral colony when they were kittens. I volunteer to support the local House of Dreams No-Kill Cat Shelter. I have experience with elderly and special needs cats and would love to meet your kitties if you are in need of drop in care! *Please note that if you are traveling away from home, my minimum standard of care requires at least 1 drop-in visit per 24 hours to ensure the health and safety of your cat. ~ SERVICE AREA: I currently service the following Portland, OR neighborhoods: Milwaukie, Brentwood-Darlington, Woodstock, Reed, Eastmoreland, Sellwood-Moreland, Mt. Scott-Arleta, Foster-Powell, Creston-Kenilworth, Brooklyn, and John's Landing. ~ PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIPS & CERTIFICATIONS: I am a member of Professional United Pet Sitters and Pet Sitters Associates. I have completed a Pet First Aid course through DoveLewis and a Canine & Feline First Aid & CPR course through VCA NW Veterinary Specialists. Through Heal’s Dog Massage for Owners class, I’ve also learned massage techniques that relax the nervous system, ease muscle and connective tissue tension, maintain proper joint flexibility and help with overall comfort. ~ BONDED & INSURED: In addition to the Rover Guarantee, you can rest easy knowing that my services are also bonded and insured. I hold commercial general liability insurance and broadened property damage coverage + bonding through Pet Sitters Associates.
