Pet care experience

Hey there – my name is Opal!

I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Growing up my family had horses, geese, cats, dogs, and chickens. I have a plethora of experience working with animals of all kinds. Bathing, walking, feeding, I have experience in it all. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times… I have yet to prove them wrong.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am currently living in an apartment with two other furry friends, a cat, and a dog! Both are friendly but space is limited. I am not able to care for other pets in the home as space is limited. I am able to take them out for long jaunts in the neighborhood and give plenty of care and attention along the way.

We love Opal!!! Our dogs adore her and she takes great care of our house while we're gone. Couldn't ask for a better sitter!

Opal always takes great care of our senior girl with a very particular schedule and special medication administration. Highly recommend her always!

Opal took amazing care of our pups. She was super respectful and left the house looking great. Thanks so much Opal! We'll definitely use her again.

Opal was great! She walked and fed my dog (Bizzy) in a timely manner and kept me updated with pictures! Bizzy had a great time with Opal and I will definitely be using her services anytime I’m out of town.

Opal jumped in somewhat last minute and did a stellar job caring for our senior pup! She administered medications appropriately, problem-solved our dog’s anxiety and anticipated her needs. We came home to a happy pup and a clean house. Will for sure use Opal again and don’t hesitate to recommend!

Very lovely experience. Kept me updated on both my pets, and sent plenty of pics. House was exactly how we left it, most importantly, my pets seemed happy.

I have worked with a lot of foster dogs who were abused and need extra attention. It is helpful for me to know your dog's history beforehand so I know what to be prepared for. Anything such as a history of abuse, fears your dog may have, issues they may have from aging, etc. With proper communication I will be able to help give your dog the most comfortable experience possible.
