I grew up with cats and dogs, taking in many strays because I couldn’t bear for them to have to fend for themselves. I believe children and animals have a 6th sense when it comes to people, and I am known to be a magnet for both children and animals! My love for animals means your pet will receive the very best love, care, and attention during my visits to your home. My experience comes from the dog training I’ve gone through with my own pets, the variety of animals I grew up with, caring for the fur babies of friends and family, and my involvement with the rescue of wildlife animals (raccoons, muscovy ducks, etc.) I’ve also worked as a puppy caregiver for a golden retriever breeder- helping to determine which puppies would be best suited to serve as show dogs, guide dogs, or as a great family pet. The joy of my family’s life is our goldendoodle, Cinna. I will give as much love and attention to your pet(s) as I do with my own. I am available for in-home visits and dog walking services most days of the week, and I update my calendar regularly. I try to keep my appointment bookings between the hours of 7am-8pm. I take extra care to make sure that my clients’ homes are left in excellent condition before departing, and I clean and dry pet bowls/dishes after meals and tidy up pet toys prior to the end of each visit. Play sessions for pets take place indoors and outdoors, depending on the location and preferences of my clients, and I always double check that doors are locked and secured prior to my departure. During the summer, extra precautions are taken with outdoor walks and playtime to ensure that pets do not fall victim to heat stroke.
