Hello! I absolutely love pets and look forward to hanging out with your furry friends! I have had a pet in my home since I was five years old. I grew up with a dog (mix) and cat, and later, a dachshund. I loved training, feeding, walking, cleaning up after, and playing with my pets! I now live in a home with a cautious kitty who isn't very fond of canines, so I'm unable to board your pooches overnight out of respect for kitty. But I would love to spend time with your pup in the community or in your home. In 2014, I worked with a neighbor's dog who was adopted from a shelter and showed signs of aggression due to past trauma. On day one of sitting, she hid from me in the house and growled, not willing to come out of her hiding place. A couple of weeks later, she happily greeted me at the door, nuzzling me, and ready to play. I spent time dog sitting, dog walking, and making home visits to Penny. She was one happy pup! I am flexible and open to trying different activities with your pets. There are several dog-friendly parks in my area and lovely neighborhoods to walk through. I am a big fan of play and cuddle too! Please let me know if there are any special needs that I need to be aware of - I am flexible and willing to accommodate for you and your pets' needs. =)
