Please read in entirety to help everyone find the best match for both our home and your pet(s). Disclosure - Things that are helpful for sitters/walkers/daycare providers Please complete your profile in entirety, including any and all pertinent information regarding your pet. Rover has an excellent platform for owners to detail care instructions and these profiles are very helpful in providing A+ service. I do not accept new clients who have not completed their pet care profiles, who have not provided veterinary contact information, and who are not able/willing to start the sitting/walking/daycare process with a brief meet and greet. It is also extremely important that you are open and honest about your dogs behavior and tendencies. It can be very stressful for a dog to stay in a different home with new, unfamiliar animals, and the more I know about your pet's needs and habits, the better we will be at providing excellent service. New clients will be carefully vetted so as to ensure I can care for your fur buddy to the best of my ability. My Experience I've had dogs my whole life, from backyard pets to sled dogs, to indoor cuddle buddies. Dogs get me, and I get them. I'll take care of your beloved family member and make sure to treat them like my own. Whether it be a daily walk, a brief play date, or an overnight, I can handle the nuances of the situation and the unique personality of your pooch! My Home and Neighborhood I live alone and will be the sole caretaker of your dog. I have a spacious home so if your pet needs his/her own space, I can accommodate. I also have a fenced in yard but will monitor all guests as I’ve learned that a fence won’t keep the curious ones in, no matter how high! And without any pets of my own at this time, your dog will have a quiet and stress free home to relax in. My neighborhood is very walkable with many parks just a few minutes away. Please let me know if there’s anything unique or special about your buddy and I’ll cater to his/her needs. All animals (humans included!) are unique and I’ll mold the experience to ensure that your family member feels as though he/she is at home. About Me I was born in the Omaha area but have lived in quite a few places in either the US or abroad. I’m a former Peace Corps Volunteer, and now work with youth in the juvenile justice system. I also coach distance runners in track and cross country. I have done a wonderful job of creating a healthy and happy home, both inviting and accommodating. I work daytime hours, 2 minutes from home and can check in with overnight guests regularly. I am almost always home in the evening and this will certainly be the case if I have overnight guests. Expectations I will welcome new animals into our home and treat them like family. With this intention, I do require your pet be current on vaccinations, housebroken, and friendly. I require a meet and greet so I can learn from you on how best to care for your pet. Lastly My intentions here on Rover isn’t to make money as much as it is to provide a meaningful service. I really do love animals and find them to be so enjoyable to be around. My goal is to care for your furry family member as if he/she were my own. I look forward to meeting the dog in your life and the opportunity to make a new furry friend! Feel free to reach out and we can arrange a meeting to see if we can work together! I look forward to hearing from you!
