My friends know me as a cat and dog whisperer! I love animals and it seems to be mutual. I have cared for them and trained them for many years! I am well attuned to animals, their needs, and their behavior and as a work from home writer, I have a great set up for your pup. I've worked with a variety of dogs big and small, old and young, confident and nervous. I am connected, gentle, and firm when I need to be. I grew up with Dobermans and horses. Small or large breeds welcome, although I would say I have a special affinity for the mid to large sized ones 🐕 Your pup should be comfortable around other dogs to stay with me! I’m a work from home completely and love the company of animals every day. I am available in Oakland or Berkeley and longer stays in San Francisco. I am available for long term stays or holidays. I have cared for many large breed dogs, was a long time mama to a Doberman with many special needs. I can administer medications, tend to an elderly pet, or play with the hyper and young ones. I spent summers on a farm and am well aquanited with many different animals and their needs. Sadly, your horse won’t fit or she could come stay, too! I worked with animal rescue for years in LA so I’ve encountered a lot of quirks! Your pet will be showered with love, belly scratches, and a good walk daily. Wally is the white chihuahua/terrier featured in all the pics and he is the resident dog that gets along well with pups of all ages and sizes. 🐕 I love to take doggy photos and probably have at least 5,000 pics of all my doggy clients over the years. Cats are welcome, too, but they must be okay around pups! I work about six hours a day remotely and work in plenty of walks and attention during that time. I can be with them throughout the whole day. I also love hikes if that works out based on your location. I can house sit and am not available to board dogs at this time. I’m a tidy and courteous house guest. I do my best to follow whatever your regular routines are to keep them happy and comfortable.
