Pet care experience

Loving, quiet, and genuine soul

I have lovingly cared for my friends' cats and dogs since 2010, always in their home. (Please note that I do not accept hotel sit requests.) I enjoy quality pet time, and have thoroughly enjoyed meeting a variety of fur babies thru Rover and client referrals. I have a calm nature which soothes anxious pets and enjoy earning their trust and affection. Currently, pet sitting is my only job so I have a lot of time available to give love and attention to your pet(s). I prefer to care for your pets in their home, where they are most comfortable. I am honest, reliable, and dependable; don't smoke, drink, or throw parties; and will treat your home with great care and respect. As for your pets, as long as you provide me with the details of their usual routine, I will try my best to keep them to that routine.

Safety, trust & environment

I will honor your guidelines for your pets in your home and do not currently accept pets for boarding in my home. As for home care, I am happy to take out trash, collect mail, and water plants as part of my pet care service. With your permission to use the washing machine & dryer, I will launder bed sheets and towels that I have used during my stay prior to my departure on the final day of sit.

Connie did a great job with our dog, she was very professional in her approach and immediately gained my wife and my trust that she would do and did an excellent job watching Silver.

Connie was awesome! She took good care of my old man dog while I was away and sent updates and photos. She was responsive and reliable. I will definitely consider her for future pet sitting needs

Connie was great! My dogs are very sensitive when I leave but Connie did a great job caring for them and I will certainly use her services again.

I cannot say enough positive things about Connie! She took care of my home and my pets, two dogs and three cats, for four weeks and everything was perfect when I came home. She did more than was expected, much more! The animals were so very loved and I could tell they were well cared for. She sent me pictures of my pets often and my home was perfect when I returned. You can’t go wrong if you go with Connie! I’m so grateful for her!

I had been apprehensive about posting our first sit request and having someone in our home. We were fortunate to have Connie respond to our post. We started with a video call which put me right at ease. Both Connie and her sister Sandy were friendly and down to earth. We had them come over early to review the dog schedule and details of the home, and most importantly to see them interact with the dogs. Both Ollie and Penny warmed up to them quickly. This says a lot as Penny can be shy and nervous. We felt confident we were leaving our home and fur babies in good hands. Connie sent pictures and updates throughout the day which kept us at ease. We also checked our cameras periodically and found the dogs were happy and getting lots of attention. We came back to a tidy home, clean sheets and towels and everything in its place We sat down to review the visit, Penny stayed next to Connie getting all the rubs in she could. A great job by Connie and Sandy! We would be happy to have them sit for us again!

Schedule

Being semi-retired, I have a flexible schedule to tend to the needs and wants of your pet(s). My daily routine includes waking between 6:00 and 7:30 am (unless pets need attention earlier), time outdoors, occasional sits with grandkids (in Las Vegas), and retiring for the night by 10 or 11 pm. As time allows, I enjoy exploring nearby trails and parks. I will treat your pets with love and respect, and have the schedule flexibility to maintain their established routines.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Connie can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I will do my best to accommodate any special needs your dog or cat may have - just share with me what those are. Communication is critical in any relationship, but especially when one is a pet that can't speak directly to his caretaker - I rely on pet parents to give me the information necessary to provide the best care possible to their pet : feeding times and method, poop schedule, walk schedule, toy and playtime preferences, bedtime routine, & usual demeanor. Also, any known behavior that signals that there may be a problem with the well being of your pet.
