Dog whisperer for hire
Pet care experience
I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes since I was 8 years old and grew up in a household with large dogs and cats. Since then I’ve helped neighbors and friends with dog walking, feeding and dog/cat sitting for both short and extended periods of time. I love all animals like they are my own and have so much love to share!

Leaving your pet for work or a weekend away can present a variety of stressors, especially when you have a rowdy, mischievous while also incredibly cuddly and adorable German Shorthaired Pointer. It was hard to find a good match for our pup, because he requires a walker who is professional, diligent and knowledgable about animals. Addie is all these things and more! She listened carefully and reinforced every detail of our pups care and training. She took extra time on walks to ensure he did all his business, received plenty of exercise and was attentive to prevent him from picking up loose trash or food on the city streets. She would invest extra time to play with him in the home as well - which was a huge plus on rainy, extremely hot or cold days. Addie always checks in without prompting and we received frequent photo updates during each walk. (A huge plus when owners are busy at work to give peace of mind without having to remember to check to make sure your dog was cared for!). I can not recommend Addie enough! We feel so lucky to have her to help care for our pup!
Addie has loved animals of all kinds for as long as I can remember, but she is partial to dogs and cats. She is super responsible and will definitely make sure your pet is well loved and cared for in your absence. I have complete confidence that you will be very comfortable leaving your most loved pet friend with Addie!
Addie is an animal lover. Perhaps more importantly, she's a caretaker, one who is compassionate, attentive, and perceptive. She has cared for my dog, Noosh, like she would care for her own animal or even her own child. When Addie watches Nooshy, she puts him first. Always. She showers him with love in the form of treats, kisses, and walks. Nooshy is not particularly great on leash: he doesn't like to play with other dogs, but he would LOVE to play with squirrels, cats, and other small furry mammals. Addie wrangles Noosh like a trained lion tamer would their large cat. Addie always keeps scouts water full and gives us updates in the form of pictures and nice messages at least twice a day, which is always lovely. Addie is a wonderful human and you won't regret putting your trust in her. She won't let you down.
I have an extremely large, bratty, territorial cat named Ted. He is not a fan of outsiders and has been known to literally CHASE people out of my apartment and not let them back in. Addie stayed with Ted while I was on a 9 day vacation in Mexico. Not only did she withstand his attacks, but she stayed with him the whole time, and even left a little journal for me of their journey to acceptance. I cannot say enough good things about Addie as a pet sitter! She is a calm and patient soul who is amazingly responsible when it comes to the fur babies.

While I am currently working full-time, I am working from home the majority of the week, which enables me to provide bathroom breaks and walks both during the week and on the weekends. Also happy to spend quality time and provide cuddles to any animals that need more companionship during the day or night.
