I've loved dogs since I got my first one at the age of 5 and have always felt a connection with them. At parties, you will most likely find me giving attention to the family dog over talking to people. If I see a dog while I’m out, I have to say “look at that guy” in a goofy voice and then go over and say hello to them, naturally. I honestly do not understand people who say they don’t like dogs. This is who I am - a dog lover that will put your dog first. I have a Boston Terrier/Puggle mix named Cooper that I treat like my child. I recently lost my beagle, Ravioli of 14 years, and miss him terribly everyday. (I gotta say, while I love all breeds - beagles will always have a special place in my heart.) Through the last few years of his life, he had many health problems and I had to dispense medicine to him multiple times a day and clean up after him. I don’t mind taking care of senior or sick dogs - in fact, I probably have the most compassion for them. I am also certified in pet first aid and CPR by the American Red Cross. I have cared for friends' and family members' pets for as long as I can remember and have about 6 years of professional pet sitting experience. I always give the pets I care for my undivided attention and care. I will treat your pets how I'd want mine to be treated when I can't be with him. I am very compassionate when it comes to dogs and have and will ALWAYS stop and track down a loose dog’s owner, no matter what, even while on vacation. I will care for your fur babies as I do my own. Hope to meet you and your pups (or kitties!) soon! **NOTE — if you would like a walk and feeding in one visit, please select dog walk instead of drop in visit.
