Pet care experience
Ever since I was little, dogs have been my life. We've always had a "herd" of high-energy dogs at home, so I'm used to packs and multi-tasking. 15+ years of pet-sitting experience. Animals are like family--welcome in my home, in my car, and on my furniture. The more fur the better! I recently moved up to the area from the family homestead in the Portland area and am missing our family fur babies immensely. I'd love to show some love to your pet family members while you are away. References available on request. Flexible schedule. Reliable transportation. Up for outings, rain or shine. Open lines of communication are important to me, as I'm sure they are for you, so we can always be in touch regarding your fur family. :)
Reviews
Corinne was awesome with our pets! She took excellent care of them, provided frequent updates and left the house clean. Will happily have her over again!
We’re so happy we found Corinne. She was so good with our dogs and cats when she stayed for house sitting. She was very communicative, followed instructions, and sent daily updates with photos! We will be using her again
Great job! My pups were in good hands:)
Corinne took great care of our dogs and house. She was very clear about her availability, was comfortable with our dogs (including giving meds to our senior pup), and made things easy for us with meeting beforehand and exchanging the house key. We would definitely use her again! (She also sent many pictures, which made it easier to be away from our pups!)

I do not board often, as we live in an apartment complex with no yard. Smaller breeds are preferred for boarding, as we have limited space, but our home is their home. They'll get to lounge on beds and furniture and get all the lovins! Sitting fur babies in their own homes is my niche. The pets are somewhere comfortable and familiar while their people are away and experience less anxiety. I give shy babies their space, approach slowly for sniffs and hopefully acceptance of pets; if they aren't comfortable getting close, I won't get in their space, but will try to buy trust as best I can (usually treats, walks, and car rides) I'm tidy and respectful of people's homes. I don't open closed doors and respect people's privacy (unless I'm looking for a shy kitty). I'm addition to caring for your pet(s), I get mail, bring in newspapers, take out garbage and recycling bins, and pick up poopsies when asked (if weather permits). When the stay is done, the dishes will be, too. I will always wash the linens and towels used and, if time and schedules permit, will try to remake the bed when possible. Lines of communication are ALWAYS open!
Information Corinne B. would like to know about your pet
If I'm available to help, I will give every pet a chance. I've worked with special needs pups before, but they are not my Forte. Is your pup crate trained? Potty Trained? Take any medications? Have a special diet? Have behavioral issues I should know about?
A typical day
I won't lie... I'm a pretty great fetch partner and have thrown tennis balls around literally all day for some clients. I find walks to be a great way to get wiggles out, and I put up a decent fight with tug-of-war. (;
