Dog Sitting McDonough

About: Hello! Thank you for viewing my profile. I have volunteered working with animals and have taken care of my own pets (dog cats and fish) for 12 years now. I can meet the vibe of most animals whether they are laid back and quiet or hyper and ready to go! All animals deserve respect and patience, and I provide these when working with new animals. I have bottle fed kittens and taken care of sick animals. Our pets are our family and I treat every new pet as a new friend! Most of my free time is on the weekends but I have no problem popping in on your fur baby! Walks, cuddles, food and treat time even a good snooze! Whatever they need, I am happy to assist with! I am always respectful of a client's home, as someone who has experience working as an Operations Manager for children with Autism, I have always been sensitive to the needs of others. I will ask questions and gather information for clarification on your furry friend's needs and review a schedule with you before getting started!

About: have hands-on experience working with dogs in multiple dog daycare environments, where I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My experience includes supervising group play, feeding, walks, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and making sure dogs remain safe and comfortable throughout the day. I’ve also provided regular pet-sitting and one-on-one care, so I understand that every dog has different routines, energy levels, and needs. Working in dog daycares has taught me how important patience, consistency, communication, and paying attention to a dog’s body language are. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and take their care seriously. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, entertained, and comfortable while they’re in my care. 🐾🤍 Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday life. I currently care for Apollo, my two kittens, and a small dog, so I’m very used to building my day around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter care, cleaning, and giving each animal individual attention. Because I already have pets at home, I understand how important consistency and routine are. I make sure I have enough time in my day to give the pets in my care the attention they need rather than treating pet sitting like something I’m squeezing in. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for other people’s pets fits naturally into my lifestyle. 🐶🐱🤍 Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, medication or basic care, and plenty of attention. I have a fenced-in home, which gives dogs a secure space to get outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. I also have experience caring for my own pets—Apollo, my two kittens, and a small dog—so I understand how important it is to be patient and attentive to each animal’s individual personality and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines and make sure their environment stays clean and comfortable. I also keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are doing well while they’re away. 🐶🐱🤍

About: I have worked with dogs for 10 years at this time. I do have two large dogs and one small dog. I have experience with both senior dogs and puppies. I’ve also worked with senior dogs that have daily medication’s or that deal with chronic pain such as arthritis. I am available to walk or do drop in visits Monday-Sunday 8:30am-7:00pm Whether you need me just to let your dog out for a quick potty break or if you need someone to do a 30 minute to an hour walk, I’m your girl! Having three dogs with a different age groups I have learned that each dog has their own temperament and preferences. Within my home and when caring for others dogs I believe that trust goes a long way. In my home, my dogs have a routine that they enjoy, and I believe that it is a great idea to build a routine and plan for your dog. We can definitely do that together.

About: I treat every pet as if they are my own! I have a passion for animals and care for them deeply. I can’t wait to meet yours! I currently am working part-time, so it gives me plenty of time to play and care for your fur-babies around my schedule. I make your pet my first priority! I respect any rules or extra details given to care for your pet. I also respect any property I arrive to and make sure your animals feel the most safe around me.

About: I was raised around dogs and I grew up walking and playing with dogs of many different breeds. As an adult, I enjoy spending time with pets. I'm a nature lover so I enjoy spending time outside. I'm available for overnight care on weekends and Friday evenings. I work during the day but in the evenings I am generally free most days. While my yard is not fenced, I live in a quiet suburban neighborhood and I have a few parks within walking distance of my house where dogs are welcome.

About: I have always loved animals and started working in veterinary medicine as early as I could. I am now a technician and love caring for animals of all all ages, breeds, and sizes. I have experience with all types of animals, energy levels, and needs. I have plenty of time right now and would love to spend time with your pets and can even take them on adventures if desired. I try and keep pets the least stressed than can be when I am around. I treat every pet like my own and how I would want my pet to be treated. I am known at my clinics for excellent patient care.

About: My love for animals started when I worked at an animal shelter. I’ve had reptiles, cats, dogs, birds, and even ferrets. I have over two years of housesitting/ petsitting experience. I currently work from home so I am available to sit in your home any day of the week. This ensures that your pet gets all the attention they desire. The only requirement I have is that you have home Internet. I would love for your pet to keep the routine that they are used to and in the home they are used to while you are away.

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for the majority of my life, starting with my family's pets and continuing with my own senior dog, Minnie, whom I've cared for for 13 years. This lifelong experience has given me a deep understanding of a pet's needs throughout all life stages. What truly sets me apart is my specific experience with senior care, including the comfort and skill to administer medication like eye drops and pills. I am also confident and capable of handling large, energetic breeds, as I regularly care for my sister's two 70-pound Huskies. I believe in a calm and patient approach to every pet I meet, earning their trust and making them feel comfortable and safe with me. Since I work part-time, my schedule is very flexible and allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I can accommodate a range of times for dog walks and drop-in visits, and my flexibility also makes me available for last-minute requests. Pet care is a priority for me, and my schedule is built to ensure I can provide consistent and timely care for every client. When caring for pets, whether it's for a drop-in visit or a dog walk, my first priority is to follow the owner's specific instructions and routine exactly as they are laid out. Before starting, I will ask about your pet's routine, personality, and how they respond to different environments to ensure a stress-free and positive experience. For drop-in visits, I will ensure your pet has fresh food and water, gets a potty break, and has some quality one-on-one time, whether it's through play, cuddles, or just companionship. For dog walks, I focus on providing a safe and enjoyable experience, matching the pace to your dog's needs and energy level while being attentive to our surroundings. I believe clear communication with the owner is key, and I will be sure to provide updates and photos to let you know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life, from smaller breeds to large. I’ve worked at two dog daycares before, working with training dogs; grooming( nail trimming and bathes). My love for animals is very endless, they are better than people sometimes XD! I care for my own animals, so pet care is already a part of my daily routine! I work part time, otherwise my attention is focused on my fur babies at home. My apartment complex has an designed area with ample room for activities that my small dog enjoys and could be offered to my clients. I am flexible, and am great at accommodating to the many different personalities that animals may possess. I have worked at multiple dog boarding facilities that have allowed me to practice caring for many dogs at once and assessing each of their needs individually and accordingly.
