I just don’t think that there’s anything like the love that a dog brings into our lives. They are so selfless and always ready to make our day better. Their giving spirit definitely inspired me to do what I can to give back to them, so being a dog sitter really is a dream come true for me! I know just how important pups are to us, and it brings me so much joy to be able to put a smile on their faces. I’ve been a dog lover my whole life, but my experience with pups doesn’t just end there! I’ve worked as a professional dog walker and sitter for the better part of a year now, and I’ve loved every minute of it. Getting to take care of pups really is always so wonderful and rewarding, and I’ve learned so much during that time as well. I currently own four dogs at the moment too, so my heart is always open to our furry friends! We love having new dogs over, and between the eight of us (including my three children), there’s never a dull moment! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your furry family member and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their friend tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. When your pup is under my care, my number one goal is to provide you and your pooch with a sense of comfort and safety. To me, the best way to do that is through excellent communication. It starts before the stay by getting as much information as I can about you, your pooch, and your care expectations. That way, I can start designing your pup’s dream stay as early as possible! When your pup is with me, you can expect regular updates with accompanying pictures, so you can see just how much fun we’re having together! I’m happy to keep owners up-to-date on anything from feeding times to exercise to behaviors.
