About: I grew up on a farm, where we had many types of dogs and cats. I always enjoyed playing make believe and veterinarian with the farm animals. They soon became like my own. I have done some dog sitting, most recently with a family members golden doodle. I especially enjoy walking the dog. I currently work full time, though part of the time I work from home. My schedule leaves me with a break during the day, where I could check on the dogs, as well as, time in the evenings! I also have the flexibility to stay in another’s home, to provide more personal care, as long as distance is not a factor. I enjoy walking dogs, and would be happy to do that as needed, for your pet. I also would work hard to be sure your pet feels safe and comfortable, providing them food and water, as scheduled and a safe place to play, or just rest. Again, willing to do this in home or as needed for a drop in!
