As mentioned she is my baby and I'd do anything to ensure her health and happiness. Dog & cat hair don’t care, let me love your fur babies, when you can't! It brings me great joy to be able to spend quality time with my fur baby and also care for and understand animals all the better by caring for others' pets. I've had dogs of all sizes my entire life, as well as cats, turtles and a few guinea pigs. It's so exciting to be able to help others and do something I'm passionate about, and that's caring for animals. I have a great deal of fun capturing them from behind the lens too. ***Service Radius*** My service radius is 5 miles from my location. This is to ensure the services I provide each client meets the quality I would expect for my own pets care. Please contact me for out of radius service pricing -- as I may be able to accommodate some requests should they fit in with the daily schedule. ***Cat Care*** Cat Rate is $20 for first cat, plus $5 per additional cat. Sometime the initial quoted pricing is incorrect.

Connie is always reliable and our cats love her! She also takes awesome pics of our boys so I don't miss them too much while we are gone.

Schedule

I am a full time pet care provider. My typical schedule includes daily weekday walks and drop ins between 9:30a-4p. When housesitting I do my best to keep to your pets normal routine but may be away during these hours to fulfill my other bookings. I DO NOT provide constant 24hour care at this time. There are many wonderful sitters on Rover who can help with that!

Safety, trust & environment

I provide pet care in your home. I always walk fence lines checking for gaps to ensure there are no escapes. If you have an alarm or coded door, I’m happy to keep those set, for your homes safety and mine. During walks I keep my eyes peeled for loose dogs, avoiding known homes which let pets roam and always use a leash. When pets are in my car they are seat belted, kenneled or in a safety seat to make the ride enjoyable for all. Insured for safety.

Pets

A typical day

On dog walks or while pet sitting you can expect your pup to go on long walks and/or runs as requested; dog park play; hiking and lake adventures if weather permits; lots of fetch and play with toys if allowed. Dog bakery visits. (Owner permission required for all activities) Slow and steady or sniff walks can be provided to those not able to run and play so easily, as well as lots of cuddling. I also bring items for canine enrichment like balls, Frisbees, bubbles, puzzles and other fun games to stimulate your pets brain. I will provide you notes about each visit as well as photo and/or video updates upon request. I love those kitties as well - providing companionship, play, feedings and different enrichment items to tingle those kitty senses.

Connie can host up to 3 pets per night
I would like to initially setup a meet and greet with you and your pets to understand their needs, activity level and house rules. A meet and greet will also help your pet recognize a familiar face/scent when I arrive for the first time alone. At this time, it would be wonderful to discuss where you keep supplies (leashes, collars, feeding, cat box locations etc) as well as access.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
