I have been a dog walker and pet sitter for over ten years. My last role was as an Animal Care Technician at the Wisconsin Humane Society where I worked with animals with a variety of behavioral and health issues. As a Pet Sitter, I feel it is important to visit animals in their own home (where they are most comfortable) and make their time away from their humans as enjoyable as possible. We spend time playing, taking long walks, and of course snuggling on the couch! I love reinforcing training and watching a dog progress. I find working with animals incredibly rewarding and love that my doggie and kitty clients become my friends! I always visit ahead of time to make sure I know all feeding and bathroom and walking preferences so that the pet stays as close to their normal routine as possible. I think this lets the pet more at ease and feeling more like they are doing their normal thing like if their mom or dad were gone.
