It’s true, we don’t deserve dogs!!
Pet care experience
I absolutely love and care for all animals!! But there’s nothing like the connection I have with man’s best friend. I have been caring for animals since I was 5 years old. My first gig was caring for my neighbor’s cat. When he was out of town it would be my responsibility to care for, play and feed Jewel. That was her name, so cute!! After that, word started spreading that I would take care of your pet while you’re out of town. Next thing I new, I had friends and family bringing their pets to my home so I could take care of them! I’m talking birds, lizards, hamsters, guinea pigs, cats and of course doggies! Even through I wasn’t allowed to have a pet of my own, I was always surrounded by them. It really is like babysitting! I’m taking care of someone’s baby while they’re away. It is a huge responsibility but something I love to do. One life changing moment for me was when I babysat my cousins dog, Mia. She’s a cute little Japanese Chin. I grew such a strong bond with her that when my cousin had to move and couldn’t keep her, she asked me to take her. I have had my baby Mia for 7 years and just recently had to give her to my sister because I moved too. I miss her everyday! But now I want to be able to spread love to our little ones and help out where I can. I will make sure to care and love your dog as my own. Just like I would want someone to treat my Mia.
Reviews
We had a very disappointing experience with Daisy and I can't recommend her at all. We found her to be dishonest and unreliable with poor communication skills. She neglected our dogs and showed a total lack of respect for our home. After a meet and greet and a trial walk with our dogs, we hired her for 4 days and 3 nights of housesitting. We provided extensive instructions well in advance of her stay. She assured us she would be at our house the majority of the time we were away and said she'd send updates and pictures. Upon returning, we discovered that Daisy spent very little time in our home. It was clear that our dogs had not been let out often enough or long enough. We found urine stains on our family room couch, family room rug, and Christmas tree skirt as well as multiple piles of poop around the family room. There was no evidence that any attempt was made to clean any of it. Daisy was supposed to be at our house from 8am Friday - 7pm on Monday. We checked the access logs for the house and learned that she left our dogs unattended for 8+ hours on 4 different occasions and for more than 10 hours once. From 8am Friday - until she left early at 5:21pm Monday, our dogs were let outside for just a few minutes each day. There's no evidence they were taken on the twice daily walks we discussed. On Friday, Daisy was only at our home for 20 minutes. She sent us multiple text messages with fake updates and answered direct questions dishonestly each day we were away.
Amazing with our 4 pound yorkie rainbow, he loves her!
Very irresponsible, did not follow through with requests and would not recommend at all. 2 cats/2 drop in visits 8/13-8/18, 1 drop in visit 8/19 a.m. - Requests discussed during in person meet & greet prior to sitting with additional detailed list left for sitter: scooping of litter boxes at least x1/day, medication at each visit, watering flowers and leaving key in mailbox on last day, 8/19. - Upon return: 1) litter boxes appeared to be not scooped for days 2) dirty pet bowls 3) garbage/recycling not taken out 4) cat vomit in multiple places, an indicator that my cat did not receive his medication 5) identical pictures sent to me on different days 6) house key was not left
Daisy takes amazing care of our 3.5 pound yorkie rainbow! He is always super excited to spend time with her while she house sits for us when we are away!
