Dog & Cat Lover With Love to Give

Hello! I'm a responsible 34 year old looking to take care of dogs (and cats) in my spare time. I've grown up with dogs and cats all my life, so I would like to share my love with your animals! I love all type of animals and will always treat your animals with the same love and affection you would. I have cared for dogs, cats, ferrets, iguanas, you name it! No animal is too big or small. Just to be upfront, my days can vary with how long I can stay in the home, since I'm also working two part time jobs, but we can talk and see if the level of care I can provide will match your needs! I'll always be clear when I can and cannot be with your pet, so you can make the best decision for your needs. Additionally, your home security is priority as well. I will respect your home with the same level of respect and kindness as I do for you and your dog. All your requests regarding animal and house care with be taken with the upmost seriousness. Feel free to contact me about any questions! -David W. Why I love dog sitting I have cared for many family dogs over the years. As long as I have been alive, I have been around dogs. I have been with many different type of dogs, ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I've also have cared for cats by themselves and with dogs in the household. I feel these animals have been more than just pets, they are family members. My experience administering medication Yes! I have personally owned dogs who have needed to take medication and I've had several clients over the years who had pets with medication needs for both dogs and cats, including pills and injections. I will make sure to go over any procedures regarding medication with you before you leave.

First off, please know that the rate listed is not set in stone. It is my preferred rate and makes bookings easier. That said, I am willing to negotiate rates, depending on the stay. I want to make sure each experiences is exceptional and personalized. :-) I would like to know if there are any behavioral quirks your dog may have. Do s/he like to bark a lot? Does s/he need lots of exercise? Is there a specific routine your dog is used to following? Is there any behaviors I should avoid while watching your dog? Every dog is different, so I will make sure to get to know you and your dog well so I can provide the best care possible
