Loving, Friendly & Responsible Care
Pet care experience
I have worked as an education specialist at a zoo where I get to work with all kinds of amazing animals. When I’m not at the zoo, I enjoy house-sitting as a dog care specialist. To say I absolutely love my job is a huge understatement of course, but there is nothing better than feeling the unconditional love of a dog. I love all living creatures of course, but I relish the one-on-one bond you can have with a dog. I’ve always had a natural comfort and ease around animals, and I learned from an early age that animals require responsibility, respect, and affection. I loved my pet reptiles and guinea pigs, but my childhood dog Barkley taught me that nothing really beats the love of a dog. Although I don’t presently have a pup of my own, I have fostered two cats, and adopted a retired police dog in the past. I’m still an avid dog lover and environmentalist, which led to my career in wildlife education and animal training. I’ve had experience dogsitting a wide range of dogs as well various home environments. My walks are energetic and fun, from walking and training a German Shepard, to jogging with a small terrier. I enjoy it all. Because I love being around dogs, this doesn’t even feel like work. Rather, I get to hang out with your adorable, fluffy fur baby. I am very organized and always plan ahead, so I have time to do all the things I enjoy doing outside of my full-time career. I’m extremely loving and detail-oriented and take my job very seriously. I always make sure the house is secure and safe before leaving, and always check if the dogs are comfortable. I believe in the leave no trace principle, so I will leave your home the way I found it, if not cleaner. I understand the concept of being a good guest, and I will love and respect your beloved pet as well as your home.
Reviews
We booked Bailey to house sit while my wife and I went on a 10 day trip overseas. We got regular updates during the stay and our place was cleaner than when we left. Our dog and two cats were happy and well taken care of and we would definitely recommend anyone book Bailey. 5/5 stars and we will book again if we need house sitting or check-in visits in the future!
Bailey was exceptional in taking the greatest care of our senior lady, Page. Everything from administering medications to paying close attention to Page's arthritis to ensure the right amount of exercise was had, we are so grateful to find someone who is so detailed, compassionate, and responsible. We look forward to having Bailey watch our fur baby again!
Bailey was so helpful and took great care of our dog!
Bailey was amazing with my pup!! I only have great things to say, she sent updates and pictures and made it easier to leave my dog knowing that she was well taken care of and loved while I was gone! I absolutely recommend working with Bailey and I will be calling her every time I need help with my pup!

Safety, trust & environment
Although I am not boarding dogs at this time, I am very comfortable staying overnight at clients' homes and dogsitting away from my own home.
Information Bailey H. would like to know about your pet
You should book with me because I am extremely attentive, active, fun, and responsible! I am always full of energy and extremely positive. I do not mind special cases, or dogs that need special care. I love spending time with dogs and always consider the animals in my care like family, and work to keep them safe and happy. I am great on walks and always paying attention to triggers and the environment around me. I definitely think my attitude and warm spirit is what makes me special with dogs. If you’d like to schedule a meet and greet, I’d be thrilled to meet in person to hash out any important details and see if we’re all a good fit. The comfort of your dog is the most important thing.
A typical day
I enjoy getting to know other neighborhoods and traveling to family-friendly, dog-friendly places. It’s always so nice to see people out and about enjoying the fresh air with their families and dogs. I always scope out an area before trying to switch up the dog's routine. I enjoy finding a nearby park or fun loop to walk with dogs. Back at home, we’ll play whatever games your dog likes or snuggle up with a good book.
