Calm/Experienced Local Sitter

Pet care experience

Hey there! I nannied, house-sat, cat-sat, and dog-sat in my early 20's and at 32 I'm looking to get back into it for some extra income (hello inflation!). I am a fully remote Senior Writer in marketing who is equal parts homebody and travel bug. When I'm not traveling, I'm doing everything with my dog Jack, who I've had for ten years (since he was five months old). I have tons of experience with puppies, older dogs, shy dogs, foster dogs (I fostered six at different times throughout the pandemic!), etc. I'm comfortable administering medicine with clear directions! I also rode horses competitively and was a horse wrangler, so I'm comfortable using gentle yet effective guidance with animals of all sizes. I only use positive reinforcement and love practicing tricks with (owner-approved) treats. I love training and engaging animals' brains and curiosity, it's so fun to watch them learn and gain their trust. My dog comes with me and is used to dog-sitting and fostering little and big dogs alike. He is nervous around cats, but can be around them as long as they don't chase him :)

Safety, trust & environment

I live with my dog. He's a 45lb Formosan mix (in profile photo). He is 10, so a little too old to be excited to play; he mostly ignores other dogs. He doesn't like meeting dogs on leash, but loves the dog park! Whenever we have visiting dogs they get along quickly and then he loves going on walks with his new bud or playing in a fenced area.

Information Caroline H. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know if your dog gets along with older dogs, what their energy level and temperament is like, etc. Love details like how they prefer to be walked, any quirks, etc!

A typical day

When I foster or dogsit, I love to get to know a dog's preferences. If they love toys, we play fetch. If they love to run, they join me on my walk. If they're a couch potato like mine, we lounge. I'm a huge fan of all things outdoors in the Pacific Northwest, and my lifestyle is catered to dog-friendly experiences so I can spend as much time with my dog (or the dog I'm watching) as possible!

I already work from home and take my dog on regular walks/potty breaks! I would be working from your home as long as you have wifi or a strong 5G signal. I'm renting and unfortunately my landlord will not allow any extra fur friends on the property :(
