Pet care experience

Huge yard, lots of hugs

I have loved animals all my life and have had pets in the home since I was born. I first started babysitting others pets while their owners were on Leave or TDY starting in the 3rd grade. I have a very large fenced in back yard with plenty of grass for your pet to run and play. While your pet is in my care, they will be given plenty of potty breaks, exercise and play time. I will send you pictures and brief updates throughout their stay to put your mind at ease. I have extensive experience dealing with senior pets who need medications and who need special care due to specific medical ailments. Your pet will always be treated as my family. They will get hugs and kisses, too! Please don't let my address in Wade deter you...I am only 8 miles from Ramsey Street!! For safety reasons, we cannot take care of Pitt Bulls or any pet that is aggressive. If it is the first time caring for your pet, I will ask to do a Meet and Greet so we can all meet one another to ensure our pets will all get along.

I highly recommend Connie! She took excellent care of Zoe while our family was away and gave me complete peace of mind. She cares for Zoe as if she was her own. I received updates and photos, which made it so much easier for us to enjoy our trip knowing Zoe was well cared for. We had a special request, which Connie accommodated. Thanks so much Connie for being a dependable and caring sitter for our Zoe girl!

Connie is so awesome and sweet! I’ve been using her for years. My first dog years ago loved going to her house. And now that she comes to ours she shows respect at our house and all our dogs love her. She left the house clean and our babies happy.

Connie cared for our mixed poodle, Zoë, again while we were on vacation. We were so at ease knowing Zoë was in good hands. We highly recommend Connie for boarding your pet. Thanks Connie!

We appreciate Connie's great care of our precious Zoe while we were away on vacation. Connie is good about sending messages and pictures of Zoe, and this gave us comfort knowing she was in good hands. Thanks Connie for your sweet and pleasant nature that helps to keep Zoe calm and at ease while we are away!

Connie was a fantastic sitter for our dear Zoe over the Thanksgiving holiday! She provided photos and updates, which was nice to see while we missed her. Thanks again Connie for your great care of our precious girl! We'll see you again soon!!

Schedule

I work remotely from home so your pet will rarely be left alone. I have two dogs of my own, so your pet will have plenty of company to play with. Since I do work from home, I am able to provide plenty of potty breaks and time to go outside in the yard to run and play.

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Lives in a house
Has a fenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has 2 dogs
No children present
Dogs not allowed on bed
Dogs not allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 0-2 hours

Safety, trust & environment

I have a very large fenced in yard that is all grass and very clean providing your pet plenty of room to run and play or just time to walk around the yard and explore. I will never leave your pet outside alone. Either my husband or I will be with them the entire time. While inside the house, they will have full access to clean water, plenty of toys and soft dog beds, all in our very clean home. If I am dropping in on your pet in your home, you can rest assured that I will be on time for the visit, take them to potty, and give them plenty of love. I will be very respectful of your home and only go in the areas needed for me to do the visit. For safety reason, I will not be able to watch Pitt Bulls or pets that are aggressive in any way. Please let me know if your dog can jump or climb fences, or is an escape artist.

Pets

A typical day

I have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of grass and shade. The fenced in area of the yard is about 1+ acres (all grass); plenty of room for running and playing. I like to walk with the pets around the entire yard or play chase with them.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only
Connie can host up to 2 pets per night
I need to know if your pet has any allergies or behavior issues. Please address these in the first email contact. All pets in my home must be up to date on all vaccinations (rabies and Bordetella) and must free from internal and external parasites. The pet must be on monthly flea and tick prevention. Please let me know if your pet needs to be kenneled when left alone, or if they are destructive in any way. I ask that you be on time for your pet drop off and pick up and notify me if you are running late. I plan my day around your drop off time and pick up time, and if you are running late, it puts me behind in my plans.
