A little bit about me
When I was little, the neighborhood dogs would wait for me at the bus stop. More often than not,
if someone couldn't find their dog, it was probably with me! These were the days when
there were no leash laws, so it was common for dogs to roam around. Lucky for me,
because I was happy to spend my time with them!
I've had a dog, cat, or both, in my life since I was around 3. It just feels natural to me.
They have, and always will be a constant part of it. Now, I am enjoying the company of my
dog, Toby, and 2 cats, Butterball & Timmie.
I've been watching after family & friends pets since my teens, and off and on since then.
Then about 11 years ago I started getting more requests from friends of friends & friends
of family, so I decided to make it a more permanent thing!
In addition to caring for pets, I am a graduate of Animal Behavior College, and completed
my dog training internship with Lee Mannix at the Canine Center in Austin.
I hope you'll consider Sparky's Gotta Go! for your pet sitting needs!
I welcome the opportunity to watch after your pets, keep them safe while you're gone, and
let them know they are loved even though you're not there.
