Hi there! I'm new to Massachusetts, but back in California, my friends often trusted me to feed and walk their dogs for them - from Chihuahuas to Newfoundland pups. I even house sat for the sweetest blind Australian cattle dog, Whisper - she actually used to be a famous climbing dog when she was younger! I think my diligence, love, and enthusiasm for animals are why my friends trusted me, time after time, to look after their dogs and cats. Honestly, I miss all the furry snuggles, so I'm really looking forward to loving on your sweet dogs and kitties <3 I've always grown up with pets and loved them like family, so I understand how important it is for them to be in the best hands possible. I am confident that I can give your pets the love, comfort, and care they deserve. Expect lots of cuddles, belly rubs, and attention! I am also fluent in caring for small to medium birds, fish, and I have 6 years of experience raising reptiles. I work from home full-time as a computer engineer, so I have full flexibility during the weekdays to visit your animals and give them some love! I'm pretty free on weekends, too. Feel free to message me and I will do my best to accommodate you. I helped train and care for my old roommate's dog for 3 years, which exposed me to a lot of the nuances of caring for dogs, and I'm grateful for that. I completely understand that some animals get separation anxiety or anxious because of past experiences, and I will make sure to respect all boundaries set forth. My priority is making sure your animal is well-taken care of, happy, and comfortable while you're away. I promise to send you plenty of pictures and videos, so you are always updated on how your pet is doing.
