Pet Sitting in McCarleys Corners

About: I have grown up with a number of medium breeds and large breed sport and working dogs. I rescued an abused presa canario which I raised from 2 years to 10 years. I am not shy with large intact males as I have lots of experience with reassurance, consistency, obedience and dominance as well as recent experience dog sitting and caring for long term two gun dog hound breeds which I love their drive and energy! I have the patience and tolerance for some of the attitude and energy levels of those breeds. They made me fall in love with bird and hunting breed dogs even more! I have had a few dogs as puppies so I do have experience with the basic obedience and training skills. I have experience with medications, injections and wound care for animals as well as 15 years as a registered nurse for caring for humans! I am practiced with nail trimming with large dogs with anxiety behaviours. I enjoy and am comfortable with puppies and senior dog care! My nursing background has made me unbothered by messes and sickness which is helpful in caring for puppies and senior doggies! I genuinely love dogs and most animals I find alot of joy in caring for others and animals 😊 I am currently on a leave from nursing and am looking to find joyful and some financial support through working with great hounds and pups I am a registered nurse with a live se in goodstanding, I have cared for people and pets with the utmost respect and love! I am looking to walk dogs mainly but am also available for drop ins and house pet sitting if it aligns with my life. I am very observant, caring and great at documenting anything that may look out of the normal and going well with your furry friends.

About: I have taken care of dogs most of my life. I have often had more than 1 at a time and can’t imagine life without a fur baby. There truly is nothing like doggie love 💜. Friends and family know they can depend on me to care for their pets as if they were my own. Dogs seem to instinctively know that I am a sucker for a fur face. I am truly excited to have made a career change that will allow me to embrace my passion for pets. I work part time ( mostly from home). I am flexible as I schedule my own hours and can work around any special requirements you may have. I live in a rural area with a large yard. I usually go out walking with my dogs for an hour in the morning and a half hour in the afternoon. I do have some long leads by the door for quick potty breaks. I am home during the day and love to have cuddles and play time.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have had my German Shepard since I was 10. I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs and cats ever since and would love to host your pet. I have trained my dog with patience and will be able to handle absolutely anything! I currently work permanent part time and will be able to take care of your pet whenever I am available. With that said, this includes walks, nutrition, and overall attention to the dog/cat during the entirety of their stay.

About: I am an experienced dog handler that loves dogs and animals. I offer a SMOKE FREE home and environment. I am premium dog care service provider and charge above average rates to ensure that you and your pet receive the gold standard of care and service. Good animal care providers aren't cheap and cheap animal care providers aren't good. If you need a trustworthy, and reliable sitter instead of the cheapest sitter available...congratulations, you're reading the correct profile. Dogs are kept safe and will greatly enjoy their stay with me. I have a big truck so I can transport dogs/pets easily to take them out for lots of runs, walks, playing fetch etc. I’m experienced with aggressive dogs, law enforcement service dogs, dog training, dog walking, and safety management. I had a Siberian Husky named Bosko, until he passed away in April 2024. He was almost 11 years old, full of energy, yet very, very well behaved, trained and mannered. Bosko was not aggressive, but he did growl and tried to act tough around other male dogs. He was subjected to dozens of dogs in our house over the years of dog sitting on Rover and he never hurt, nor attacked another dog. If you look through our profile, you will see Bosko pictured with dozens of other dogs in our home. Bosko loved to play with smaller dogs and was very kind and gentle with them, even if they knipped at him, or bit at him. Your dog will have a great time with all of us here and we look forward to meeting you and your dog. I work from home and enjoy the company and responsibility of caring for other animals. I am able to provide consistent round the clock supervision and attention to my clients' animals. All dogs will be walked one or two times daily and have space to roam, run, play and enjoy themselves in a safe, supervised environment.

About: I've been caring for a variety of animals my whole life and have owned cats and dogs my whole adult life. I've recently been given the honour and opportunity to raise my Rottweiler puppy. I have spent countless hours researching best practices and would love to help with exercising your puppy pal. I hike, walk, beach and do whatever you need for your four legged family. I've had experience administering medication and providing special needs. I am currently working part time and crafting but would love to be caring for animals full time eventually. I'm happy to work any day and transport pets to preferred walking and caring spaces. I prioritize quality enrichment. My walks with my own dog are very much for him. He's welcome to sniff as much as he wants. I am capable of following any and all direction about your dog to stay as close to the quality of your own care as possible and give your dog the best experiences I can.

About: I am currently a university student studying a Masters of Counselling psychology. I have always had a love for animals of all kinds. I have had dogs and cats my entire life and have gained tons of experience for walking and caring for pets. I currently have a 5 year old bullmastiff. I am comfortable with any size dog! As a student my schedule is pretty open as my classes vary in times each day. I would love to spend my free time doing something I love.

About: For future reference; will not be accepting non neutered or spayed cats/dogs unless accompanied by a crate, especially if their not trained please. I do have one myself, so not that you need to have one per se but allow use if necessary! This is partially for Henrys experience too, so please keep that in mind when reading this; its not to be snarky. I have trained two dogs growing up who have above average listening and response times. Positive reinforcement was key to my success, psychology paid off. One was a rescue dog; she was such a sweet heart but it took some time getting her to open up based off her traumatic experiences prior to entering the adoption location she luckily found her way too. Henry on the other hand, was purchased from a breeder, so fortunately for him less baggage, and unfortunately for her given the circumstances. I've done dog sitting/pet care for family dogs when family members would go on vacation for anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks. Medication administration is a non issue, as well as grooming is another area I take great pride in doing myself, as it's a good trait to have being a pet owner. Have cared for puppies, adult or senior dogs; we were a dog first family growing up so I've grown to love them more than you can realize just through descriptions; with my active daily lifestyle it allows for the animals to gain as much out of exercise as I do and working from home helps as well. I treat animals as if their my family or children, so they'd receive the same treatment one would expect from a friend baby sitting their children. Seamlessly; he wakes up when I do and is let out accordingly at 4 AM we go for multiple walks a day most notably 430 AM and 530 PM. I work from home so it makes it very manageable to get him outside for bathroom breaks within 2-2.5 hour interval periods. I'd like to think we both operate at a high level through one another. We feed off one another, so when he's upbeat I am too, but when I'm down he has his tricks that ensure a great therapeutic touch. I treat them as if their my children; I speak to them in a way they understand with words or phrases we've practiced or has practiced to ensure optimal success in regards to understanding one another. Henry and I like to play often with his toys or just horsing around with Belly rubs and chasing him around the house. He sleeps with me too, so no furniture is off limits as I usually have blankets or other covers in place to manage hair loss.

About: I have experience in taking care of male reactive dog and puppies that will destroy everything if they don’t have enough mental and physical stimulation. I want to take care of pets on my weekends because I have a full time job and I miss taking care of them. On the weekends we can have nice walks outside, we can go to dog parks if they are used to, I can take them to all the places that they are ok to go to, or if they don’t like to socialize we can walk and be just us! I am comfortable with any arrangement. On week day they need to be able to be alone for more than 6h. I live in a apartment building that has other dogs. Ideally your pet should be fine or neutral to share a elevador ride or we can take the stairs, if so they need to be healthy to go up and down the stairs (17 floors)
