Pet care experience
Queer Friendly Pet Sitter
From human babies to cats, bearded dragons and beyond, I'm excited to meet you and your pet! I've always loved animals, especially dogs, cats, and reptiles. Caring for your furry (and not so furry!) loved ones brings me lots of joy and is how I wish I could spend every day. I'm eager to please and find I'm available for daily drop ins for potty and feedings, or spending more time with your pet in the evenings while you work late. Also available for overnights up to a week, staying in your home so your animal is most comfy! I love taking relaxing walks and playing fetch, or playing in your fenced yard enjoying the warm weather. I can administer pills and monitor health conditions, and can provide physical assistance for small dogs and cats with mobility issues, like getting up and down furniture. I'm open and eager to learn administering other medication types if you are comfortable teaching! Anxious and shy pets warm to me easily, and so do senior dogs and cats!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I want to be best friends with your pet, so knowing their favorite treats and keeping their routine consistent is important to me. I promise to care for your baby like my own.
Ratings and reviews
Damien has been our go-to pet sitter for about 2 years now and he’s absolutely amazing with taking care of our 3 dogs and 2 cats. One of our dogs is SUPER people shy and usually takes a long time to warm up to people, but fell in love with Damien immediately, leaving us shocked in the best way. Another one of our dogs is a bit high-need and needs special food and meds multiple times a day, but it’s always handled perfectly and we never have any concerns about the care our babies are getting. In addition to the care of our animals, Damien is always super respectful of our space and you can hardly tell anyone was there, after returning home.
We have worked with Damien a handful of times. Damien has stayed at our home watching our 3 dogs. He was so friendly upon first meeting. Even the dogs ran to him for kisses. Damien asked us most of the questions as to what we needed to feel comfortable which was so amazing. He would said us daily pictures and updates without being asked. Damien was helpful doing some of our senior dog’s physical therapy with gentleness and empathy. We love working with Damien and I highly recommend him to care for your home or your pets.
I've known Damien for several years and they are such a sweet soul. My dog is obsessed with them and loves to snuggle and wrestle with Damien every chance he gets and Damien is very obliging :) Damien is always so thoughtful, they even made a dog-friendly cake to celebrate his 1st birthday. All around Damien is an amazingly kind person, excellent with animals, and I would trust them with the absolute love of my life, my dog - Hiccup.

Schedule
I have open availability during the summer months as I work for the school district. I want to spend my time loving and caring for your pet/s, so please let me know what your needs are and I'll do everything I can to make it work! After summer, I work part-time during the day, so I can stop by mid-morning to let dogs out to potty and play, and my evenings/weekends are open.
