Experienced Dog and animal Lover :)

Pet care experience

Having raised and trained 5 dogs and 3 cats who are now in heaven each living a full and happy life, I have no animals to care for. Allowing me to pay full attention to caring for your dog(s) or cat(s) at your home or mine. I understand that a loving pet who is left with me may miss their owner. So if I can distract them with lots of love compassion, lots of attention, adoration, walks and if requested extended walks the proper exercise many dogs crave I have done my job effectively as proper care lessens any separation anxiety. Please see all of my happy client’s wonderful reviews My home is set up to care for animals from front screened in porches to back yard screened in patios. With ample room for my furry best friends. When considering a pet and/or house sitter please remember all of the happiness that your beloved pet brings to your family. Having developed and sold a large business I am very conscientious so animal owners can be rest assured that their babies are receiving only the very best of care. A loving pet is irreplaceable. Consider reputation of someone who you will entrust your pet and/or home as the cost can be far more significant if you chose a sitter by cost alone. Your loved ones and home deserve the same attention or more due diligence than anything else in life. (Rover backs sitters with a guarantee (see below)* Rover and I provide a promotional code especially for first time users of Rover. Please ask to see if you qualify for a $20.00 savings Tolerance and caring are my best traits simply put because I love animals. Taking care of any animal is my passion that I will gladly do in the most professional and caring manner. It's sad when they leave my care because I treat your pet as my very own. Caring for an animal gives me comfort knowing that your pet is happy. I realize that bestowing the confidence in someone else who will take care of your loved one is a difficult decision. I will go out of my way to ensure your pet's happiness which will earn your happiness. My motivation is to make sure you come back feeling secure that your pet is always safe and secure. I enjoy exercise and walking dogs as they need to be active of course unless otherwise instructed. I hope I have the opportunity to meet you and your pet. Be well and hope to meet you soon! Although I never needed Rover does offer the Rover Guarantee for all services booked through Rover: “The Rover Guarantee reimburses members of our community for costs arising from certain injuries or damages that occur during a service booked and paid through Rover. The injuries or damages must result from care provided during a Rover stay or walk, and the Guarantee reimburses in the event the sitter or walker is unwilling or unable to pay those costs.”

I have been looking for a new sitter for my Corso. I was a little nervous about Bruce because Remy is skittish with men. Bruce has a very calming spirit. Remy had warmed up to him within minutes and I was comfortable leaving him for the day. He sent multiple pictures throughout the day, and Bruce was ready to walk more than Remy -:). I know he was in good hands because when I picked Remy up, he was trying to sit on Bruce...that's my sign that Remy was happy!

Bruce provided house and dog sitting for our 2 dogs , he stayed onsite, sent photos daily of our dogs, communicated about everything that was happening. I rated the visit as a 3 star because the price was a premium price for the services provided. We got what we paid for and we were satisfied with Bruce’s service.

We were traveling to Pompano Beach and need a dog sitter. I chose Bruce, he was perfect. He arrived on time and was great with our energetic Vizsla. I rebooked once while visiting and would not hesitate to book him again.

Safety, trust & environment

When owners leave many times there is separation anxiety a normal response as to an animal who is attached to a owner and accustomed to an ordinary routine. This is why owners choose house sitting as compared with boarding at my home. Keeping the environment the same and familiar does lesson stress for any pet. So I am a master at distraction by paying close attention to an animal’s temperament and keeping the dog or cat involved in an activity like walking or catching a ball or just mixing it up with lots of hugs and devotion necessary with an owner’s departure. I am proud that my animal sense and ability to understand the true needs of the animals in my care receive the very best care your loved one deserves.

What is necessary to make the stay of your loved one with me as comfortable as possible? Is the dog potty trained, dogs fixed, and cats neutered? Special needs or any information that will make their stay more comfortable. Instructions are essential as it gives me the background information I need to enhance my care.

Long walks, Dog parks if permitted. Beaches if permitted walking paths and catching balls or just being hugged while looking deep into a dog or cat’s eyes is most comforting to us all.
