Full-time sitter, walker & trainer!

Pet care experience

I am a Colorado native who grew up in Colorado Springs. I have been watching and training pets since I was a kid, and for the last seven years I've done it professionally full-time with the help of Rover and pet-lovers like you! Additional Services: Bath & Brush - $40 Matting removal/extra care - $20 (30min) Shave fur - $20 (free scissor cuts, I need practice) Nail Trim & Grind - $15 Brush Teeth - $10 Additional 30 min Exercise - $10 per day (30 min included) Max time away from home 4 hours - $30 per day (normally 8 hours total, 4 at a time max) I also do housekeeping and poop removal for poop not left during my stay. Quotes available upon request. Basic Safety and Obedience Training - $40 per hour session. We start doing the training at your home so the dog is comfortable and less distracted. We train not only the dog but you as well. The first mistake many make is trying to teach tricks before building communication. By teaching foundational commands first, you make the rest of your training journey much easier. These are the most important for helping your dog learn how to behave even when excited or around company, and instill safe habits like not running out of the front door or taking human food. Sitting Refund Policy: No refund for nights cancelled within 5 days of the start, 50% refund for nights cancelled 6-10 nights from the start. Given that I do this full-time and since sitting is a substantial part of my income, I have to protect myself from people making "possible plans" and trying to cancel the week before and paying nothing which unfortunately happen often. There's almost no way I'll book nights with that little notice so this is what I have to do. I have to enforce this policy on my own and my only recourse is to not rebook with owners that don't follow it. If you do have to pay a cancellation fee we have to do it privately with Venmo, cash or check as Rover does not have the ability to do standalone payments. This, and when wanting to add a tip amount above what Rover allows, are the only exceptions to Rover's cash-app rules. Homes with long driveways are required to have a snowblower.

Cameron was fantastic and I felt comfortable that my two dogs, cat and house were well cared for the week that we were gone. Not only did Cameron take great care of my pets but he was checking in with me about random things that I forgot about like taking the trash out on pickup day, getting the mail, etc. We just got back from our winter trip and I’m already booking him again for our summer trip! Thank you Cameron!

Not the first time we've had Cameron watch over the pupp while we were gone and hopefully not the last! Great communication and everything was taken care of!

Safety, trust & environment

When dog walking, I always use two-hands and avoid other dogs, animals and people just to be safe. I am training for 5ks and losing weight so I jog a little if they're able, but go slow if needed. By default I limit your pet's access to exterior doors leading to unfenced areas by some combination of using the garage or side gates instead, erecting barriers or putting pets in a room or behind a gate so there's no chance of dashing out.

Information Cameron L. would like to know about your pet

I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes. Before a sitting I like to know about any unique habits or activities. Even though I avoid other people, pets and animals while on any walks it's still good to know beforehand if they lunge at rabbits or are aggressive on leash or anything like that. The more information I have the better care I can take!

A typical day

I make sure your pets get their requested exercise every day and that they have plenty of time to hang out and cuddle with me while I watch Youtube or whatever else! 30 minutes of exercise included in booking price. Additional 30 minutes is $10 per day and can be added for every day or any individual day just let me know!

When house sitting I will be staying at your home full time. I may leave the house for up to 4 hours at a time, up to 8 hours total in a day depending on other work, errands and other commitments. I also have experience watching farm animals and am comfortable with all common critters. I'm available to arrive from 8am-8pm. Arrival is almost always a window because some of my work is on demand. I usually come 2-4 hours after you leave but I try to come ASAP to limit anxiety and accidents.
