The paw-fect caretaker, 20+ yrs exp

Pet care experience

I mix a manager's mindset (orderly and reliable) and lifetime of love for animals (caring and courteous). I was raised with several dogs and helped care for them for much of my life. My neighbors saw the joy it continued to bring me and proceeded to hire me over the years to care for their dogs while they worked and traveled. I realize trust is key when a sitter stays at your home, having hosted guests at my home from 15+ countries over 2 years as a 6x Superhost on Airbnb. As a communication consultant, I am known for my deliberate and detailed work style which, when working with you, means I aim for overall quality. Essentially, I am who you hire when you want: (1) A sitter who handles each booking with tailored service; (2) To ensure your confirmed booking will not get canceled; and (3) To be at ease when traveling that your fur baby is well cared for. For first-time clients, I prefer we set-up a walk before so we get to know one another, your fur baby's routine, and details for our upcoming booking. Other common considerations about me: ~ Intermediate dog trainer (based on extensive pet-sitting experience); ~ English (native) and Español (orador fluido); ~ Non-drinker and non-smoker; ~ Car owner (skilled driver).

We were thrilled to have CJ stay in our home and take care of our pooch. CJ is very responsible, attentive, and thorough. Our dog was happy and our house was well taken care of. He even went the extra mile to wash the sheets before we got home. He's a really good guy. We will definitely book him again. Get him if you can; he's booked pretty far out.

CJ stayed in our home with our 3 dogs for 2 nights and he did a wonderful job. He sent many photos so I knew they were being well taken care of and I was able to enjoy our trip without any worry! Thanks so much, CJ for taking such good care of my pack!

It takes a leap of faith to have a stranger stay in one’s home, but CJ eased all of our concerns. When we returned home, our pets and our home were in terrific shape. He’s a born animal lover, and we eagerly look forward to engaging his services again.

CJ did an excellent job making my dog feel comfortable, even when he was nervous at first. CJ is very communicative and clearly cares a lot about my dog. I would highly recommend him!

____________________ SERVICES Your home: House Sitting, Drop-In Visits I treat each client's home like my own home by aiming to leave it in as good shape as when I first stepped in. I understand that your fur baby may feel lonely when you are not around, so I will provide ample attention, give them the needed water and food, toys that keep them engaged, and aim to keep your home a safe place for them to enjoy. My home: Boarding, Day Care My home has a fenced yard (both shade and sunny spots) in a safe, friendly, relatively quiet, and well-managed community. I could easily crate your fur baby (if preferred) in my plush set-up, too. Please bring your fur baby's potty bags for walks and other essentials. Your home and/or my home: Walks Keeping your fur baby safe, happy, and a bit adventurous is what I aim for on walks. Consistent with that, I ensure that other unfriendly pets stay away from our walk, that your fur baby doesn't eat anything bad during the walk, and that I will clean up after them. ____________________ Q&A What helps me help your pet: Health ~ Which medication(s), if any, will they need? When and how? ~ Is there any type and/or quantity of food to not give them? Habits ~ How often do they bark daily? ~ Are they potty-trained? ~ Are there quirks I should be aware of for them (e.g. chewing, zoomies)? Boarding ~ May I crate them when they go to sleep? Will you provide the crate? ~ My crate has an attachable water dispenser. Want me to use it for them? Socializing ~ How often, if at all, do they jump on strangers and scratch? ~ How do they act around other dogs? ~ May I take them on local field trips (e.g. parks, downtown areas)? ____________________ Some required etiquette when booking CJ: ~ Please keep your pet's nails trimmed; I avoid getting scratched. ~ Potty-trained fur babies are highly preferred. ~ My furniture is only for people.

Information Cj T. would like to know about your pet

Knowing your fur baby's health, habits, boarding, and socializing details will help improve everyone's experience. Questions to consider are in the "Safety, trust & environment" section on my profile. I will happily discuss these at your convenience and will keep you posted if others come to mind.

A typical day

When your fur baby is with me, I will happily engage with them during our walks, playtime, and include them near me when relaxing. When they are at my home, they will enjoy the new smells in my neighborhood, such as the family-friendly parks around me (e.g. Rengstorff Park). I can do the same when at your home so they feel safe while experiencing what your surrounding area has to offer.

____________________ ROUTINE I'm self-employed and choose my own hours. Since my partners and teams are remote, having a canine companion with me is emotionally enriching and fun when playing with them between my online meetings. I walk daily to clear my mind, and having them join me is wonderful. With your permission, I would enjoy having them join me when visiting local social places such as parks and your area's downtown.
