“Christina was a life saver this weekend! After my usual cat sitter had to cancel, she was available with like half a day’s notice. Chico looked so happy to have company while I was out, and I’ll definitely be booking next time we go camping or out of town (with a bit more notice next time)!”

“Judy is a genuine animal lover. She wants the animals in her care to feel like they're living their best life. She puts in the extra effort to take dogs out into nature to get the proper exercise, or to just enjoy the pretty scenery. Judy is reliable and treats people's homes and their pets as if they were her own. She takes extra care so you'll feel safe and secure.”

12. Elba B.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication to structure, trust-building, and tailored care—especially for high-energy breeds like German Shorthaired Pointers. My experience includes: ✅ Training & Obedience – I specialize in leash training, impulse control, and reinforcing good behavior, making me ideal for puppies and energetic dogs. ✅ Active & Engaging Care – I understand the needs of high-energy dogs and provide structured exercise, mental stimulation, and adventure outings to keep them happy and balanced. ✅ Senior Pet Care – I have the patience and attentiveness needed for older pets, ensuring they get gentle handling, comfortable rest, and any necessary accommodations. ✅ Customized Routine – I adapt to each pet’s unique personality, whether they need structure, socialization, or extra affection. More than just a sitter, I focus on building trust and creating a safe, enriching environment so every pet feels at home. Daily Routine Morning: First thing in the morning, I take them out for a bathroom break. They get their morning meal, ensuring proper nutrition based on their active lifestyle. A long walk or run follows to burn off energy and set a calm tone for the day. Midday: If I’m home, I engage them in short training sessions (reinforcing obedience, leash manners). Some interactive playtime, either with toys or a backyard game. Evening: Dinner time, ensuring they eat a balanced meal. Another walk or training session, depending on the day's activities. Relaxation time indoors before bed, usually with some quiet bonding time. Weekly Routine Grooming: I check their coats, ears, and nails weekly. GSPs don’t require much grooming, but they do shed. Adventure Days: I like to take them on a hiking trip or field run at least once a week for extra stimulation. Training Refreshers: I incorporate new commands or fun challenges to keep them engaged. 1. Safety First Keep hazardous items (toxic foods, cleaning supplies, sharp objects) out of reach. Ensure the home is secure (closed gates, fences, and escape-proof areas). Use pet-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products. Monitor pets closely, especially in new environments. 2. Building Trust Introduce myself calmly and let the pet approach at their own pace. Maintain a routine to provide consistency and reduce stress. Use positive reinforcement (treats, praise) to encourage good behavior. Respect their space, especially when they need alone time. 3. Creating a Comfortable Environment Provide clean, fresh water at all times. Ensure they have a cozy sleeping area. Maintain a comfortable room temperature. Offer mental stimulation through toys, games, and interaction. Follow their dietary needs and feeding schedule strictly.
