I'm interested in pet sitting for now that would be a wonderful writing retreat and much needed attention for a happy puppy. My current place doesn't allow for pups right now and that will change by June. I really miss dogs now so that's why I signed up.

Safety, trust & environment

I usually go outside with all of the pups I watch so they get used to me and their presence. If they have no yard I walk the pups so they can do their business. I'm experienced enough I know how to stop dog fights with strange or aggressive dogs. I'm easy going, clean, and no drugs or alcohol. I'm just a fun pet sitter.

Pet care experience

I've owned different breeds of dogs and pet sat for years. I enjoy pup sitting as it gives me a different focus outside of myself and my life.

Jeannie is wonderful! She provided such great care for my fur babies while I was going through a difficult time and put me at ease while I was nervous of leaving my pups. She provided such great updates with pictures and videos reassuring me they were getting plenty of love and attention. Jeannie also went the extra mile to go to the store and get my dogs pumpkin and rice when they had an upset stomach. I highly recommend Jeannie and will continue to book with her because I am at ease when having to travel without my fur babies. Thank you Jeannie for your excellent care and communication

Jeannie was wonderful with Lola and Bandit. I felt better about leaving them knowing she was there taking care of our fur babies.
