Dogs need a little vacation too!

Pet care experience

I am a huge animal lover. I have personally cared for many different types of animals in my home, such as dogs, cats, fish, hermit crabs, guinea pigs, and a ball python! I always have a pet in my home to care for. For four years, I was a house sitter for dog owners. I would routinely visit a handful of homes to care for the dogs overnight. During my overnight stays, I would provide: • Regular walks • Food/Water • Play time • Medication •Belly rubs I have experience working with puppies as well as senior dogs. I have experience with both dogs and cats who require special diets and medication. Most importantly, you can be rest assured that your dog is receiving love and care they deserve. Caring for dogs is more than a job for me, it is a passion of mine. Walking or boarding your best friend is an honor.

I believe Alex would be the best dog sitter. His kind heart and compassion for animals shows through the attention he gives to them. He’s kind and so gentle with animals. Treats them like they were humans.
