Pet care experience
Big or Small, Your Pets Are Family
Hey my name is Atticus, I am 20 years old. I have lots of experience in communication and pet care. I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for animals, especially dogs. I’ve dog-sat for everything from a couple of hours at a time to several days or even a week, and I’m comfortable caring for both individual dogs and households with multiple dogs. My experience includes feeding, walks, playtime, keeping up with normal routines, giving plenty of attention, and making sure pets are comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has a different personality, energy level, and routine, so I take the time to learn what works best for each individual pet. I’ve also cared for cats and birds, including homes with multiple types of pets at once. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions as long as communication is clear and understand how important consistency is when someone else is responsible for your animals. Most importantly, I treat the animals I’m watching like I would want someone to treat my own. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal and their personality.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
One of the most important parts of pet sitting to me is making sure your pet is just as comfortable with me as I am with them. Whenever possible, I strongly prefer to meet you and your dog before the first sitting session. This gives your dog a chance to meet me while you’re there, get familiar with my presence, and helps us make sure we’re a good fit before you leave them in my care. During that meeting, I also like to learn about their personality, routine, boundaries, favorite things, and anything that might make them nervous or uncomfortable. Every dog is different, and I never want to force an interaction or put an animal into a situation where they don’t feel safe. While caring for your pet, I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, and any household rules you have in place. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I give your animals as well as my own, and I’m happy to provide photos and updates throughout the stay. My goal is for you to leave knowing your pet is with someone they’ve already met, are comfortable around, and can feel safe with.

Schedule
My schedule can vary since I do work full time, but I will always do my best to be flexible and work around your pet’s normal routine. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and longer stays depending on the day and what your pet needs. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability ahead of time and make sure we have a plan that works for both you and your pets. If I’m caring for your pet, you can expect me to be reliable, on time, and keep you updated while you’re away.
