Experienced Rescue Foster/Sitter

Pet care experience

🐾Boarding clients update 🐾: I am currently not generally accepting new boarding clients in our home as we now have a 9 month old baby girl. I will, however, consider new clients on a case by case basis, especially for those dogs who may need more experience than the average sitter can give. **If your dog is not dog friendly or takes time to warm up to other dogs, I am happy to board them as I know how hard it is to find options for them, however they will remain separated from other dogs or leashed with us in the room until comfortable.** I am an avid dog lover and have been a rescuer/foster for a nonprofit organization, Lone Star Aussie Rescue ,among other Aussie rescues , for almost 10 years now. I have fostered numerous dogs with varying personalities and have worked with all types of behaviors, so I am very experienced with all kinds of dogs and most behavioral issues. I have done pet sitting for many years now and although I now work as a NICU nurse twice a week (nightshift), I still love to help families with reliable and experienced pet care when I can. I have cared for animals all my life and love doing it! I have two furbabies of my own, an Australian shepherd named Riley and an Aussie mix named Remi who might be the most spoiled dogs in the world. I take them everywhere I possibly can with me. We love to go to petsmart, the dog park, go on walks/runs,swim, and meet new doggy friends to play with. I have also taken pet first aid/cpr in the past through an online course, so I am educated and qualified to provide emergency care if ever needed. I am very comfortable giving medications of any kind. Being the pickiest person in the world about who I can leave my dog with (they've only ever stayed with their "grandma" and one other professional sitter who stayed with them ) I know first hand how hard it is to leave your pets in someone else's care, but I promise to treat your animals just as I would my very own (and send you lots of cute pics of your babies while you're away). *Rescue work is a great passion of mine and I love each and every foster I have. Because I foster and have new dogs in my house frequently, I am very knowledgeable on dog behaviors of all kinds as well as introducing and integrating new dogs with mine. All dogs in my house are allowed on furniture and will only be outside when closely supervised. I do prefer dogs staying in my home be crate trained and potty trained (but I'm used to potty training with fosters, so puppies aren't a problem) In fact, we LOVE puppies and welcome them!

Our dogs love Cayley! We have two deaf aussies who each have their own quirks and I felt completely safe and comfortable leaving our dogs with Cayley and trusting her to make sure they were okay. They had so much fun, played, went swimming and watched tv. She sent us tons of videos, pictures and updates throughout the week. I couldn’t recommend Cayley enough!

Cayley was great watching my golden retriever. I got daily updates and pictures and my dog clearly had a great time.

Cayley was great to work with. I knew my dog was being well cared for. I plan to use her again when needed.

Cayley took great care of our dog, Apollo. She made sure to go during the time period that I asked. Apollo loves her!

Information Cayley W. would like to know about your pet

I like to know as much as I can about a dogs personality and normal daily routine before I begin caring for him/her in order to make the experience as enjoyable and normal for them as possible. All of their vet care and medical history is also important. Knowing as much as I possibly can about your pet helps me to give him/her the best experience possible while you are away.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog: If your dog is active like my two Aussies, they’ll love running/wrestling around our large, completely fenced yard, splashing in our bone shaped doggy pool, playing with the thousands of dog toys around the house, and fun walks around the neighborhood. For our more nap-loving guests, we have numerous dog beds and soft spots around the house for a lazy day inside. Every dog needs a different amount of attention and exercise. A normal routine is important for a lot of dogs, especially ones with separation anxiety. I like to talk to each owner to find out the dogs daily routine in order to meet the individual pets needs. Extra house-sitting services: Just let me know what needs to be done, and I will make sure it is taken care of.
