Free belly rubs!

Pet care experience

Free scratch on the head or brushing for the cats! :) I am a pet sitter who had my own part time pet sitting business years ago. I actually have never stopped pet sitting,even when I was working full-time; I occasionally continued to love and care for family and friends pets. I currently have my own business called tails of the heart pet sitting services. I provide overnight/house pet sitting, dog walking, drop in visits for feeding and for letting out for toileting, and cat care. Administer medications, clean cat litter boxes, lay on the floor and play with your pet, bring the mail in, turn lights off and on, etc. Any other special services can be discussed and negotiated. I am the crazy animal lady who will walk up to strangers at the park, on a sidewalk, at a festival and politely ask to pet the dog, have the dog jump up on me and lick me to death (to the owner's chagrin) and then politely and shamelessly ask if I can take a picture with the dog! :) That's me! All fun aside, when your furry family member is in my care, I follow all the owner's specific rules in caring for their pets.

We had Brenda dog sit in our home for 7 days and 7 nights and she did an exceptional job. We have two large dogs (one of which can be skittish and protective) and Brenda was patient and caring to both. She walked them daily, sent us TONS of picture and videos, and left our home substantially cleaner than we left it. Through the pictures and videos we received it was clear to us how much play time outdoors and cuddles on the couch they were getting which we were very happy about. Brenda went above and beyond of what we asked and we will certainly be a recurring client of hers going forward.

Brenda was loving to our 3 cats. She would send updates and ensure we knew each time she was going to visit. Brenda was professional and even through a tough personal time made the effort to check on and be there for our cats and complete the visits. We will definitely be re-booking with Brenda when and if we go on another vacation!

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer pet owners have a fenced in yard; or the very least electric fence. I have cared for many pets who had to be taken out on the leash, so I am okay with that too!; I just prefer the fence. Medical injections -- I have given injections just twice; willing to learn and do it more often if needed.

Information Brenda S. would like to know about your pet

I want to know a dog's personality; Friendly or aggressive to other people, other animals? Do they scare easily? Where do they like to sleep? Are they escape artists? Are they thieves and steal things off of counters or out of trash cans? All the usual idiosyncrasies that I expect to be discussed before booking a pet sitting job.

A typical day

Playing inside or outside in the pet owner yard. Walking in the pet owner neighborhood. Throwing a ball or Frisbee or any other toy. Playing tug. Laying on the floor or grass and chilling in the sunshine.
