Responsible, caring, and friendly.

Pet care experience

I consider myself a life long animal lover. I grew up caring for several cats and dogs. My deep appreciation for all animals is why I chose to make a livelihood caring for them on a daily basis. I have made it a point to only walk/care for 1 dog or pet family at a time. I believe this allows for the best individualized attention. I have a flexible schedule and am looking forward to meeting you and your pet!

Derek was paid to stay at our house for a week. By the time we got home we had the following damage: $5,000 mattress had a 4" deep by 8" wide hole from neglecting the dogs and leaving no sheets or blankets on the bed, water damage to our wood floors from pee being left for hours, deep indents from dog claws in our dining room table, a hole eaten out of our dining room chair. Both dogs have shown behavior of neglect and now each require a train and board to get them back to their previous behavior. In the day and age of technology, you'd assume that the house sitter would honor their word and stay the night when that's what we are paying for. Both of our dogs are rescues with severe separation anxiety which is why it was a requirement for the sitter to stay overnight. Derek not only didn't stay the night but didn't stay much throughout the day either. I will never have Derek near my dogs again and highly recommend you don't either. The damage he created is immeasurable and I will forever try to make it up to my dogs for my poor judgement of choosing Derek.
