Your Dog’s Best Friend

I Could Be Your Dog’s Best Friend! Since October of 2025, I’ve become the Primary Sitter for a Black Lab named Tucker. Since his owners are family friends, they do not book me through Rover (Ooh, am I supposed to admit that here?). But I have earned their trust, such that they’ve just given me a spare key to their house, so we’re not handing it back-and-forth every time they go out of town. I’ve had a very good connection with Tucker from the beginning. Given how well he responds to me, I swear he thinks he’s as much my dog as he is my friends’. My dogsitting experience actually began at a music festival, over Labor Fay weekend in 2025. My first day there, I met a woman who needed someone to watch her Black Lab for a couple of hours. I was available. So, we took Aurora over to my tent. She immediately began acting as if she were my dog, and I wound up taking care of her throughout the weekend. At one point, her owner quipped, “She listens to you better than to me!”

Safety, trust & environment

I cannot do boarding. I am only available for going to the client's home. On a previous dogsitting job, the entire yard was fenced in. The dog had free access to both the front and back yards. In the morning, I fed the dog, played fetch with him, and left him outside for the day. In the evening, we played fetch for a while. Then I brought the dog inside for the evening, fed him, and spent some time just keeping him company, before going home. I was consistently mindful to close the gate when entering and leaving the yard, and to lock the door when leaving the house.

I do have cerebral palsy, which makes my muscle movements jerky. On a rare occasion, I have met dogs which were made uneasy by this. Before taking any dogsitting job, I would definitely want to meet the dog(s) I will be caring for, to make sure the animal(s) is/are comfortable with me. At the same time, however, please do not let my cerebral palsy make you doubt my ability to care for your pet(s). I know how to adapt to my physical limitations. I have handled a 60 lb. male Black Lab, and even a 100 lb. female Black Lab, with no problems.
