Pet care experience

I love EVERY dog. All of them!

I am here for you (and your furry friend) whether you are going on vacation, or hosting company that is allergic to your pet. My goal is to keep your pet so happy they want to come back :) I have experience with all breeds of dogs and dogs from abusive backgrounds. I will enforce any training you may be working on, but am also totally fine with letting your pal sleep in my bed or dig in my yard. About this sitter: I am a animal lover with experience with many different species and breeds of animals. I know dog first aid and am willing to give your pets any medication or special care they may need. I love all animals from horses to snakes and won't hold your pets breed or quirks against them. I am willing to watch pets at my home also as long as they are kid friendly.I am comfortable with animals that have medical conditions and am willing to administer any medication your best friend may require. There is almost no animal that I dont have at least some experience with. I have been scratched, bitten and butted by almost everything there is,lol! I know what signs could be trouble and am willing to take your pet in for any vet or grooming services that may be needed in your absence. I know how stressful it can be for a animal to be away from its owner (and the owner to be away from their pet!) my goal is to make the experience as fun and fulfilling as life with you. Even if that means you have to call me 10 times a day to check on your baby! I can walk your dog, ride your horse, feed your parrot and everything inbetween. Why I love dog sitting I have been an animal lover since I was in diapers. I am especially fond of dogs, horses, reptiles and birds. I am also a animal rescuer that has saved everything from stray dogs to injured crows. Meet my pets If our dogs don't get along, that's okay because I have a rotation system through the garage to keep the separate. About my yard I have a 6 ft. fenced in back yard with a covered porch with misters and dog houses on it. In the summer there is a pool in the middle of it though :) Also, if your dog is like mine, I can turn the sprinkler system on so they can chase the water. The yard is all grass and shaded all day also, although unless the dog insists, I don't like to leave them outside for very long unless the owner suggests or prefers it. My experience administering medication I am fine giving shots, pills, liquids, ear/eye drops, sub-q fluids and iv's. I will be home a minimum of 17 hours a day while your pup is here, usually 24 hours a day. I tend to schedule stays when I am off or get off early if I cant switch days off. My husband and kids are here the entire time I'm not, so your pup will never be alone! I try to stick to your routine for walks, feeding schedules, playtime and naptime and send pictures and stay in contact with you about your furry friend!

Carla is very friendly and considerate. We got some pictures and updates which help me miss our boy a bit less. We would definitely book with her again!

Pets

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I usually walk them up the street, around the park and down by the creek. If your dog has people/water/dog issues, please let me know and I can change the routine for them. Your dog's sleeping arrangement If it is acceptable for you, your dog can sleep in my bed or my daughters as dogs seem to attach themselves to her. If you prefer they can sleep on the floor or in a kennel if you so choose. Never outside unless that is your preference. Time I'll spend with your dog I will be home a minimum of 17 hours a day while your pup is here, usually 24 hours a day. I tend to schedule stays when I am off or get off early if I cant switch days off. Time I'll spend with your dog If your pet stays at my home I will be with it all the time. My daughter is also a animal lover and will be playing tug o war and fetch right along with us! If I come to your home I will be there 3 times a day for a minimum of two hours each time. Extra house-sitting services I am willing to do any light duty you may need. Watering plants, taking out the trash leaving on different lights eachday..anything you would like done.

First and foremost: TELL THE TRUTH!! I have a bad review because the owners of the last dogs I sat lied about their dogs. If your dog isn't house trained, no big deal! I know to take them out more and keep a eye on them. Besides every dog has accidents sometimes. If your dog is food aggressive, warn me. I can feed them separate. If all your dogs chew on furniture tell me instead of trying to fudge over it.I can handle anything if you just tell me about it and it will make our interactions much easier :) Also, they OFFERED to pay for the couch, I never asked at all. I understand that animals are like people.I would like to know you pets personality. Do they want food and water then to be left alone? Or do they need a hour of fetch to be truly happy? I would prefer their medical history, written down, in case of emergency. Likes and dislikes. I don't want to be taking a dog for a walk that would rather sleep! Also, any training that you would like continued, I would like to know. I don't want to let your dog on my bed and be reinforcing a habit you are trying to break!
