Pet care experience

Your Pet’s Second Best Friend 🐾

I am a full time employee and have been pet sitting on the side since 2020. I love animals and have had many of my own pets throughout the years, I currently have a 4.5 year old black GSD that competes in sport. I’ve also had several foster dogs throughout the past two years. I have cared for larger animals as well as small caged pets. I am looking to make some additional income as well as experience the joy of being around animals. My dog is large but crate trained and used to having guests in his home. I am very punctual, organized and communicative. I hope to be able to assist other pet lovers in giving their animal the love and care they deserve. Any specific needs or rules that your animal has will also be made a priority as I understand each animal has unique needs.

I’m so grateful to Cathy for taking such wonderful care of my cats while I was away for two days! She went above and beyond, even successfully giving medication to one of my cats—something she had never done before. Knowing they were in such good hands gave me real peace of mind. I look forward to working with Cathy again and highly recommend her to other pet owners looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive sitter.

Schedule

I am employed full time and work primarily from home. I have a sport dog that requires lots of exercise and mental stimulation. Our routine is based off his needs and the needs of any animals in our care! Long walks, lick mats, kings, doggy treadmills, fetch and training are all staples in our routine!

Please let me know of any allergies, medications or temperament issues prior to their stay so I can adequately prepare. My dog is crated when he sleeps and when I leave the home. Yours doesn’t have to be but if you feel this will cause your dog stress let me know.
