No pets of my own let me love yours

Pet care experience

For the first time in my life I am living without pets. I miss them more than words can say. I would love to love your pet while you must be away. In the past I've trained gun dogs for field trials and worked with rescue groups both by fostering and transporting. I have been a farm/pet sitter for friends for decades and have several clients in my new home in Dunedin. This past October I traveled to Sacramento, Ca. to care for a precious previous service dog and received excellent ***** on that site. My greatest strength as a sitter is that I have used pet sitters extensively myself. I believe I know the quality of care your pet and your home deserve and will do my best to provide it. Rover doesn't have a place to put this so I'll just add here that I also have experience with administering asthma inhalers.

Connie was wonderful with Phoebe. It was really great that she allowed her to go onto the lanai for some outdoor time. Connie was very tuned into the routine I want for Phoebe. Thanks!

Connie was great to work with. She checked in daily and made me feel Shadow was receiving good care. Connie was very professional, asked questions about what Shadow liked and didn't care for. She gave me hints on how to avoid a future feeding problem. I felt very secure leaving my pet and home in her care. I would definitely use her again.

Safety, trust & environment

I do not offer pet sitting in my home. I'll drop in at yours or possibly do overnights. We will discuss any safety concerns during our meet and greet.

Information Connie W. would like to know about your pet

I am primarily concerned about our safety, that of your dog(s) and myself. Is your dog aggressive towards other animals? How obedient is your dog under normal conditions? Is your dog ever aggressive towards people? Is your dog an escape artist, ie: does the leash need to be on before the door is opened or does your dog need to be in visual contact in your back yard? Are there special needs re: medications? I love all breeds but I must be honest and say that rat terriers are not my favorites.

A typical day

Having you gone will be stressful enough for your pet without being taken to strange new places. We'll play fetch if your yard is fenced or if there is an area close by where we can do it safely. Does your dog enjoy playing with the hose or in a kiddie pool? We can do that as well.
