I love animals and caring for different dogs with varying personalities and temperaments! I am a patient and kind dog-sitter with lots of experience walking the dogs of friends and relatives. I'm looking forward to being able to meet a variety of dogs on this platform and be the best, kindest, most professional and fun care giver for your pet! I have lots of availability because I set my own schedule, except on Wednesday afternoons when I work another job. I am communicative, social, thoughtful, empathetic, and I think animals remind people of the inherent goodness in the world. My philosophy is to treat animals with respect and be gentle but firm with rules and boundaries. I believe that animals do things for a reason, and if you get on their level and try to understand their behavior, we can communicate amazingly well with them and develop the best, most positive and equal relationships.
