I've been a dog lover since I was a toddler and a Basset Hound lover at first sight! I am partial to hound dogs but simply love 'em all and have been a dog carer and lover for decades. Folks laugh when I tell them I'm really a dog in a woman's body! I am patient and quiet and kind - dogs usually trust me right away but if not, I calmly kneel down or sit on the floor until they approach for some admiration. That said, some dogs prefer to be admired from afar - that's fine too. I am quiet and calm. Normally, I visit pets in the Palo Alto area but on a month-long pet sit in St. Helena most of January. Someone's gotta do it and long-term (usually closer to home!) sits are welcome. I work/study/fiddle independently so am quietly at home most of the time both daytimes and evenings. Weekdays and weekends are all the same to me - I am a homebody and like hanging out with dogs who are easy going. I love to admire them and am happiest in the company of dogs!
