I am a caring attentive pet owner that enjoys playing with cats and dogs and providing care to them. I have been surrounded by pets all of life (dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, turtles!) Before moving to Los Angeles, I used to own a energetic, large German shepherd and a lazy, long-haired tuxedo cat. I currently have no pets in LA, but my mom still sends me pictures and videos of my pets back home :) Not all dogs and cats are the same, and I think understanding this is an important aspect to a successful, fun interaction. Understanding a pet's behavior is also important in being able to asses whether the pet is comfortable with where he/she is and if the interaction should continue or stop. I am currently working from home which gives me great flexibility in watching over your special one! I can take many walk breaks and offer multiple check-ins if needed. During my drop-in visits or walks I will do my best to respect the wishes of your home and how you would like me to care for your pet. I prefer detailed instructions to make sure I am meeting all of your expectations, but this is not required and simple instructions can be provided during the meet and greet!
