About: I have always loved animals, whether it be a mouse or a horse. I also love to help people out, especially with dogs and cats. I’ve babysat one dog long-term (about 6 months), and I have been babysitting the same dog for about 2 years, since he was a 8 week old puppy. I also had a dog who passed away a few years ago, and had to take care of her in her senior years and help her get up as she had hip problems. In between dog-sitting, I did babysit dogs for a week, and usually wouldn’t mix dogs unless owners were okay with it. (these owners were from my work or teachers from my high school). I am currently attending college in Duluth. However, I do come home quite a bit Fridays-Mondays. In the summer, I will be very flexible though! I take dogs out on leashes as it makes me feel most comfortable but fenced in yards while watching the dog also makes me feel comfy as well.

I have all my reviews from other platforms in my photos. My schedule is very flexible for boarding services and check-ins. With upfront and clear communication, I can make almost any request work. UPDATE: I recently moved to Minneapolis and now work 5:30am-12:00pm Tues-Saturday. I can do potty breaks in the morning and a walk once I get home at 12. I can also walk very early in the morning too if the dog is accustomed to that time & willing. And of course, anything after 12 I can do & am available for. I have experience working on trusted house sitters. When doing a house sit or a check-in at the clients home, I simply follow the instructions provided and feed/walk/check in on the animals as discussed. I make sure the animals feel very loved, attended to, and cared for!

Being sure to welcome with a friendly face and smile and if challenges arise, I am patient and willing to work with your pet until their feel comfortable enough to comply.
