I grew up with dogs and cats and have always had a connection with animals. I am a calm, patient, active and happy person. I have a flexible schedule and can be available on short notice. I have a huge backyard that is great for your dog to run around and get some excersize. In the past I have done pet-sitting and house sitting for a local family about twice per year over a 10 year period. I like helping others so this type of work has always been a great fit for me. I look forward to helping you with your pet care needs. Thanks!
