Introduction: I've watched many great dogs and their owner's houses for over 12 years, mainly in the Newton and Brookline areas. I've also owned cats, and grew up having cats and dogs for pets. I've handled many situations with pets, such as taking them to the vet or vet ER, giving them special meds and all -- but mainly taking them on fun, adventurous walks!! I take great care with houses too. I can check for mail/packages, dry-cleaning, water indoor/outdoor plants, manage pools & security systems - or identify any issues while the owner is away (i.e., snow, ice, leaks or anything unusual to note). I've often had to call contractors, etc., and have dealt with coordinating emergency work. I've managed large fitness facilities in my career, so that experience actually helps!
I love watching and walking the same dogs often - they become like family! I enjoy taking dogs for adventurous walks by the Charles River, Emerald Necklace, Comm. Ave., Jamaica Pond or Chestnut Hill Reservoir, for example. Cats are fun and adorable as well! I also do Pet Photography!
