As a former middle school educator, I understand that patience and love are key to any interaction. I’ve grown up with pets since I was 8 years old, and I’ve formally dog walked friends and families pets for five years. I keep in touch with all of them as if they were my own. I believe dogs deserve all of the love, patience, and fun. I have experience with small to medium dogs the most, but have also built meaningful relationships with larger dogs. This includes bathing, walking, feeding (and hand feeding), snuggling, and more. My current longest client is 4 years strong and I have even taken them to vet appointments as well as helped the owners research and find the best pet insurance for them. I have also experienced losing a loved dog and know the pain it brings; this reminds me to always give everything I can when in the presence of your fur baby. Whether your baby requires a little more attention or just needs a simple check in, I am here to help and follow your guidelines! HOUSE SITTING: Dog sitting at your home involves me going to their residence, following specific instructions for pet care, including feeding and walks. It is perfect to avoid any additional stress for your pet of a new environment! I stay overnight to provide companionship and ensure the dog's well-being. Your dog will not be left alone more than 4 hours, if not less, as needed depending on your pet’s specific needs. When doing this visit, I am a guest in your home. BOARDING: I am no longer offering boarding in my home. However, I do offer day sitting at my home or house sitting at your home. DAYCARE REQUESTS: if you book boarding or daycare in my home, please know I will not have any other pet around. I want to ensure top safety and that your pet receives 100% of my attention. With your permission, daycare requests include a visit to hemisfair/civic park for a walk, small enrichment activities, and feeding/potty/walking routine requested. I currently work full time but I am available almost all weekday evenings, weekends, and holidays (except Christmas and NY). Note to clients further than 12 and 20 miles: A $10 travel fee will be added for clients over 12 miles away. A $25 fee will be added for mileage/gas if you are located farther than 20 miles.
