Pet care experience

I love all dogs. They are mans best friend and the best companions. I’ve had dogs in my life since I was young and have done animal care for years with training from my mom, who has 20+ years of experience with training dogs. I’m usually available 10am to 5pm Monday through Friday but please check with me first. I am willing to do weekends and some holidays, but only with 1 weeks advanced notice. I am able to provide baths if needed as well as nail clipping, provided that your animal has had previous experience with these grooming methods. If not, I will not provide such service to your animal if requested. I can give oral medications if needed and very basic first aid care, but again, only if your animal has had previous experiences with these things. I have a very spacious back yard with plenty of squirrels for your dog to chase if that is their desire. I love a snuggler if they are willing. Your dog will be in a warm and loving environment during their stay. I do have 2 chihuahuas who keep to themselves, and a Rhodesian Ridgeback who LOVES to play and run. He gets along with other dogs after a short period of sniffs and barks. I also have an 18month old son, so your animal will need to be good with toddlers.

Cicely loves her animals and would be a great person to animal sit. Her own animals are very well taken care of. She has a fenced in back play yard as well.

I know she has a secure fenced yard and experience with large and small dogs. She has 2 of her own and now a new son!. She used to work with wildlife rehab in Florida, mainly orphaned deer.

Cicely has watched my two dogs on several occasions and they love spending their time with her! I have such a peace of mind leaving my babies behind now that I know they will be in Cicely's care. She is very knowledgeable, mature, and nurturing. She has a safe, pet-friendly environment for animals of all sizes. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Cicely (Paige) was my neighbor for 3 years and my go-to dog sitter for my American Bulldog and Vizsla. She's very dependable, sticks to routines, understands basic obedience and household rules, and I'm sad that I don't have such a perfect dog sitter so close anymore. I highly recommend her.

Information Cicely B. would like to know about your pet

If the dog is compatible with other dogs, and toddlers age 1 and older. I would prefer if they had some training with basic commands, that would be good. House trained is also a preference and if they are crate trained that is a bonus but it is not required. If they have a history of biting or aggressive behaviors. I do not have any breed preference as all dogs are loving as long as they are raised in a loving home. Any dog should have flea treatment up to date or they will not be permitted to be cared for, as my dogs have flea allergies.

A typical day

We can play with a ball or frisbee in my yard, go for a good walk in the neighborhood or relax in the house while watching tv.
