Pet care experience
I share a home with a small dog as well as my husky, two cats, and ball python! We have a fenced in yard near the trail system that runs through Westbrook. I have 2 and a half years working in the pet retail industry, specifically at a nutrition focused pet health food store. If you have any questions about your pets diet, I'd be happy to share what I've learned (bear in mind I'm not a vet!) These days I am creating art and working from home, after having worked overnights for many months. My partner works overnights, so my sleep schedule somewhat accomadates this, meaning that I can be available nearly any time of day! I also have experience caring for snakes, birds, and aquariums and would be happy to accommodate these needs as well.
Reviews
Callie has been great with both of my dogs: patient with the skittish one and willing to reinforce our training with the puppy! She was flexible when we needed to reschedule and great about communicating. We'd definitely like to hire her again when our schedules get so busy that we need help with the dogs!
Callie came through in a crucial moment to stay overnight with my dogs - one who had a cone on after just being neutered. It was super last-minute, but Callie was professional, and willing to follow up when I frantically asked if she could return as I was due back much later than expected. I am eternally grateful and very glad that my boys have Callie!
Callie was absolutely terrific and her help was very appreciated when I got a new puppy and I had to work. She came by beforehand on her own time to meet me and the dogs and get the lay of the land, so when the extended rover "job" began, I felt completely confident. I received daily updates and photos at exactly the agreed-upon time, and when I got home in the afternoons, the puppy and older dog were both calm and comfortable. Communication was easy and fast, and I will absolutely hire Callie again in the future if I need the extra hand.
Callie is a person that is very passionate about animals of all kinds, and even after adopting a dog from Puerto Rico, she still feels drawn to helping others, maybe even fostering other dogs that need a transitional home. She loves to spend time walking dogs and she is great at understanding they're needs, making sure they are safe and happy, while maintaining a healthy amount of discipline. I can't say enough about her as both a pet owner and animal lover.

Information Callie G. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences. I would like to know: How often does your dog need to go potty? How much exercise do they usually get? Are you aware of any separation anxiety? What commands do you use? Any resource or dog aggression? Does your dog run away / ignore voice commands?
A typical day
I live in a suburban block perfect for dogs walks, but there are also trails I can access right down the road from my house. I love bringing my dog on these trails and would be happy to bring yours if that’s something they would enjoy. I also have toys scattered about the house and love play time, but watching TV and just cuddling is just as great.
