Safety, trust & environment

I do what is asked of me by pet owners and try to go above and beyond to be a good companion to the animal(s). I follow directions well and am very observant of pet behavior so I can meet their needs.

Information August G. would like to know about your pet

I always appreciate knowing an animal's general personality going in as a baseline for what to expect. Additionally, any preferences, quirks, or special instructions regarding the animal is always very helpful!

A typical day

A typical day depends on the pet, of course, and with dogs, I enjoy doing fun activities like going for walks or playing games like fetch or tug-of-war (which my dog loves). For cats, I know they can be pretty particular about what they like, so I am more than happy to just hang out with the sleepy cats, or play with the high-energy ones.

Pet care experience

👋Hi! I'm August (they/them) and I have years of petsitting experience as well as a cat of my own. 📸I enjoy taking pictures of animals for pet parents! 💊I have experience with animals who have special care needs, including with dogs that need bladder expression, and cats that need oral medication administered. 🗣️I do my best to be both communicative and responsive to any pet parent messages and concerns, and my aim is to make the pet care experience as stress-free as possible for all parties! 😄

August was great! I completely messed up our dates and they were so kind and accommodating. We really lucked out. We came home to a happy dog and a well cared for house. Thank you again!!! 💜💜

My BooBear can be a challenging chonk, but August completely put my mind at ease. August was dependable, consistent, and caring - will definitely reach out to August the next time BooBear needs a drop in sitter :)
