As someone who has been around dogs for 20 years, I have found nothing compares to the childlike excitement I feel when my dogs' ears and eyes perk up after they hear one of their favorite words or phrases: "walk", "dinner time", "play", and/or "good dog". My late dogs were two female Yorkshire terriers, Madison and Xena (pictured on my patio with me in my photo gallery; Xena on top, Madison on bottom), who lived happy, spoiled lives past their life expectancy. Xena was very small because she was a teacup Yorkie, so, I learned a great deal about being attentive and responsible in accordance to her whereabouts, fitness regimen, food, and play-time. Of course, Xena and Madi also taught me that patience really is the key, and positive reactions lead to positive results. I aim to treat your dogs, regardless of how much time we spend together, with the same respect, care, consideration, and love that I would give my dogs. Here’s a little information about me: I have been walking dogs since I was 9, and began to take on the responsibility of house-sitting them for 24+ hours I was in middle school. In high school, I started to pet-sit for neighbors on the weekends and after school (cats and dogs, primarily). However, I recently discovered I have a rather uncomfortable allergy to cats and rabbits, so I am no longer accepting jobs for watching cats and rabbits overnight. I do still accept drop-ins though! As of now, I have been a Rover sitter for two years and am fortunate to have 10+ awesome repeat clients! COVID UPDATE: As a dog-mom, I understand leaving your pup with someone may seem exceptionally stressful during this time and would like to assure you I am doing my best to to follow COVID-19 protocols. This includes social distancing and preventing the spread by wearing a mask during meet and greets, or whenever else is necessary. It is my goal to make your dog’s stay with me as easy for them as it is for you, however possible. I look forward to meeting you and your furbaby!
