I have had many years working with animals in the Midwest. With dogsittting, my goals are making sure dogs get what they need and keeping their anxiety minimal. Mostly I buddy up with a dog and keep to its expectation and routines, and then I keep to mine :) I'll ask all the right questions and keep it simple and well done. I'm also good at cleaning up, reporting incidents, and responding aptly to emergencies. I'm pretty fit, I can jog with a dog that may need it. I can tune into their thirst, heat tolerance, mood, anxiety, impatience, boredom, sleepiness, disorientation, pains. My people skills are also great. I work for TaskRabbit doing numerous things also. Those include organization, cleaning, chores, errands, and light carpentry. I am an artist, writer, and sales specialist.
