The Hasidic dog sitter!

Pet care experience

I am the first and only Hasidic dog sitter. While Hasidic people are not known for loving pets, I am the exception to the rule! In addition to loving dogs, I have one of my own, a four month old black pug named Shimmy. I have experience watching and walking dogs big and small, from chihuahuas to doodles, to everywhere in between. Your dog deserves an exceptional sitter! My very own dog! I also have experience walking and sitting dogs, and taking them to be groomed. Before I had my own dog, it was well known that I am a dog lover, and people have always recruited me to care for their pups. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover for at least four years. I grew up in a community, as you might know, where pets are not the norm. However, when I went out on my own and met some great pups, my life changed forever! Since I couldn't have a dog until recently, I became interested in dog walking and sitting as a way to be around this beautiful, wonderful creatures! My experience administering medication Yes, if I am shown how to administer medication initially, I have no problem giving a dog her or his medicine.

Gedalya was awesome---my dog is a crazy, yappy chihuahua with boundless energy. She often has anxiety when I go out of town. This time, it was clear she had been well taken care of and well exercised! Gedalya must have walked and played with her quite a lot because by the time I came home she was a docile pile of cuteness rather than a yapping maniac. Reno is also kind of weird with strangers but immediately took to Gedalya--jumping in his lap and curling up within a few minutes of meeting him. I will absolutely book Gedalya again.

Gedalya was fantastic! He was extremely prompt in setting up a last-minute request (and even made time to come out and meet our pup), and our often-anxious dog took an immediate shine to him. They spent a long time in the sunshine, and our pup was sad to see him go! I would absolutely recommend him.

I don't know what we would do without Gedalya. He was able to watch our pup at last minute's notice, and did a wonderful job. Spencer loves him!!! Everything went smoothly, and we were able to make a last minute end-of-summer mini vacation! Thanks!

Gedalya is an amazingly caring and patient dog caretaker. He enjoys spending time playing with our dog, which I don't think most dog walkers or sitters actually do (usually they just do the basics/minimum of a walk or feeding them). He is a true dog lover and this naturally makes him a responsible pet sitter - he is happy to feed, walk, play, and even change puppy pads. Our little boo is so glad she has Gedalya!

Information Gedalya G. would like to know about your pet

I just like to know about the dog's temperament. I enjoy friendly dogs who like to play and go to the dog park or on long walks. I also like to know how the dog is around children, the elderly, if they have any special needs (food, bathroom), etc. My favorite breed is pugs, and I think flat faced dogs are really cute, but I really do love all dogs.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog How much time do you need?! I am a college student with a flexible schedule, and can always hang out with your pup after walking and playing her or him, while I get my schoolwork done. Extra house-sitting services Sure, no problem.
