I’m adaptable, loving, and patient. Taking care of someone's pet is a big responsibility, and I treat it as such! I adjust my approach to the needs and personality of each dog, welcoming them with compassion and warmth. I enjoy leisurely moments with a mellow dog, and win over the most standoffish pets. All dogs are different, and some need time to warm up to new people. They’ll appreciate my gentle, supportive presence--and since this is my full-time gig, I’ve got endless time and love to devote! I’m often asked by friends to care for their fur babies, and they’ve always been impressed by how happy their pups are when they come home. It’s such a joy for me to help them and spend time with their dogs! I decided to start providing pet-services full-time. As a dog owner, I know how important it is to get photos and updates of Gizmo while I’m away. That’s why I check in at regular intervals, and even share videos of what we’re up to--so you can have total peace of mind. I love to go for long walks and spend as much time as possible outdoors. Living in the moment; taking in a sweeping, scenic view is a wonderful way to pass the time, especially with a pup in tow! I also like to do yoga, spend time with family, and do home improvement projects. I can come to your home while Gizmo has plenty of family to keep him company--I'll tailor my approach to whatever’s best for you and your pup. With years of experience, I’m able to provide a wonderful environment where your pup will prosper, whether you’re away for a day or a month. You can trust me with dogs who have special needs, allergies, or separation anxiety. I’m confident that I can provide top-quality care for all kinds of dogs. Lots of love, hugs, and cuddles will be dispensed to dogs who enjoy affection. Of course, each pup is unique and requires different amounts of exercise, playtime, and attention. That’s why I’ll pay close attention to their cues, and respond accordingly.
