I do not have any breed preferences but I generally do not accept dogs over 75lbs for walking. I know my own strength and for everyones safety I try to avoid this, as it can lead to injury or an escaped animal. I do specialize in older dogs. I grew up with an amazing Sheltie, full of love but also with very sensitive needs. In her last years her mobility was greatly decreased, and had very little eyesight and hearing left. I also regularly watch a friends older Cockapoo with similar issues. Living through this I've learned the importance of patience and unconditional love, as well as the practical skills like administering medication. If you have an older dog or a dog with special needs, please don't hesitate to contact me! I make it a point to work with my clients and learn the required routine to ensure the most comfort for your pup. I also have experience caring for and working with reptiles, amphibians, and insects, so if you have a more unusual pet that needs care please let me know, I'd love to be able to help.

Every dog is unique in their behaviors and needs, so as a dog-sitter my goal is to understand and meet these needs, while providing a safe and fun experience. I really enjoy working for Rover because I really believe that just like humans, dogs benefit from routine and comfort. My goal as a sitter is to come in and facilitate that routine, so that even while you're away your furry friend(s) won't experience any anxiety or disruptions Is your pooch a never ceasing bundle of energy? Great! I would love to walk your dog around the neighborhood, or run around and play with them in the park for a while. How about older dogs, or dogs with special circumstances? No problem! I have experience administering medication orally to my own dogs, and have the patience and commitment to work with what some may consider more "difficult" dogs. While your dog is in my care I offer photo and text updates as often as you would prefer, to ensure that you are comfortable and satisfied with my service. In case of emergency I have a reliable car for transportation, as well as knowledge of veterinary services in the area. While under my care, your pet will be treated with the same care and attention as if they were my own.
