My Mama has always lovingly called me the “Pied Piper of Canines” because of my instant rapport with all animals, especially dogs. I’ve been caring for dogs for many years now and I’ve never met one who didn’t love me (and vice versa!) I’m engaging and patient, even with the more difficult dogs who may be skittish or aggressive. Whether it's play-time on the living room floor or walk-time around the neighborhood, I'm always observant and talking to your pet. On walks outside I am always aware of surroundings and possible threats like dogs off leash, speeding cars, kids running in area, etc. I’m also punctual and reliable, which dogs need as scheduling and routine. ***I'm a school bus driver, so I get a break during the day from about 10am until 1pm during the school year. I do care for a dog during this time a few days a week, however can fit one in for a walk or to be let out when needed. After 5pm I'm available until about 8:30pm and won't usually answer texts as I have to wake up early, but weekends I'm more flexible! (And I'm vetted by the gov't on a regular basis so I'm trustworthy!) Additionally I work with dogs “in training” if needed, whether it’s obedience training, potty training, etc. Aside from sitting for friends/ clients, I have also volunteered at Houlagans Rest shelter! I worked as a CNA so have knowledge from classes and clinicals about wound care, administering meds and any first aid situations that should arise, and keep pet first aid apps on my phone just in case. Please enjoy pics of my 'happy customers' that I was lucky enough to snap pics of, and a few pics showing my 'lineage' of animal-adoration from early 1900's! I'm conveniently located in Brandermill!! ** I am also able to care for guinea pigs, snakes, rabbits, fish, ferrets and most everything else in the exotic pet world :)
