Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, Work-From-Home Dog Sitter
I’ve always loved dogs and enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just having them around the house. I work from home, so I’m able to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving your dog alone for long periods. I’m dependable, patient, and take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pet seriously. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medication, and any other specific needs. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

Craig has grown up with dogs and has always had a genuine love and understanding of animals. He is extremely responsible, kind, and caring, and I have no doubt that he would treat every dog as if it were his own. I would highly recommend Craig!!
Craig is a very responsible and caring person. I have observed Craig with our family dog on many occasions and he is always affectionate and kind. He has spent hours playing fetch with our dog. Craig is always on time, and pays attention to details.
Craig is an incredibly responsible individual who will treat you and your pet with the utmost respect. I have no doubt that anyone who chooses him will be impressed by his level of care.

Schedule
I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with the dogs in my care. I’m available throughout the day for walks, bathroom breaks, feeding, and playtime, and I can adjust my routine to accommodate your dog’s needs. I enjoy getting outside for walks and having dogs around while I work, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m also available on weekends and can coordinate with owners to make sure their dog’s regular schedule is maintained.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I take the safety and comfort of every dog seriously. In my home, I provide a clean, comfortable environment where dogs can relax and receive plenty of attention throughout the day. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on them and make sure they have regular bathroom breaks, walks, and access to fresh water. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication, and any specific rules or preferences. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet receives the same dependable care and attention. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their dog is safe and doing well.
A typical day
A typical day starts with a morning walk and breakfast, followed by some time to relax while I work from home. I’m around throughout the day for bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I enjoy getting outside, so dogs in my care can expect regular walks and opportunities to explore, depending on their energy level and needs. For more active dogs, I’m happy to spend extra time playing and exercising. For dogs who prefer a quieter day, I’m just as happy to provide a comfortable place to relax and keep me company. I’ll follow your dog’s usual feeding, walking, and rest schedule as closely as possible to help them feel at home. I’m also happy to send photos and updates throughout the day.

- Before caring for your dog, I’d love to know about their usual routine, personality, and any specific needs. This includes feeding and walking schedules, energy level, favourite activities, and how they behave around other dogs and people. Please also let me know about any medical conditions, medications, allergies, or behavioural concerns, such as separation anxiety, reactivity, or anything that might make them uncomfortable. It’s helpful to know whether they’re fully house-trained, how they do when left alone, and any commands or rules you use at home. The more I know about your dog ahead of time, the better I can make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
