Pet owner with a flexible schedule

Pet care experience

I've been caring for animals every since I was a little kid. I grew up on a farm and we always had dogs, cats and other large farm animals. I also have experience with animals with medical related issues like K/D and U/D

Cory did a great job with my cats. That Sapphire trusted him enough to come out to see him is great. In previous times the cats just hide. I will definitely hire Cory for future jobs.

Corey was a helpful and communicative pet sitter who spent time with my dog, and was flexible. Checked in multiple times to make sure we had his services as long as they were needed. I would book with Corey again.

Cory had great communication and seemed to get along well with our cat. Wet forgot to put the treats out and he had to deal with our Internet lights but he asked us about the treats and it worked out. He made sure to clarify instructional when he was unsure. He sent pictures and answered all of our questions with we asked. We definitely would use his services next time we go out of town.

Information Cory S. would like to know about your pet

Before taking care of a dog, there are a few essential pieces of information that you should be aware of. These include: 1. Age: Knowing the dog's age can help you determine their level of energy, physical abilities, and how you should interact with them. 2. Breed: Different dog breeds have distinct personalities, needs, and genetic predispositions that impact their behavior. 3. Health: It’s important to be aware of any existing health conditions, allergies, or medications the dog needs to take. 4. Medical History: Knowing the medical history of the dog helps you understand any pre-existing issues that may impact their health and care. 5. Temperament: Understanding a dog's temperament is essential to proper care. Some dogs may be calm and easy to handle, while others may be difficult to control. 6. Likes and Dislikes: Knowing what a dog likes and dislikes can help you provide them with a comfortable environment and activities that they enjoy. It’s essential to have a good understanding of these factors to ensure the health and safety of the dog and keep your responsibilities effective.

A typical day
