Go on Vacation Worry-Free!

Pet care experience

It can be really stressful to board out your dog(s) while on vacation. Will they get enough scratches and hugs? Be comfortable? Receive their meds? Get along with the other animals? Actually get exercise? I understand. That’s why I specialize in housesitting your dog in your home, which is the least stressful environment for the dog. I am a virtual assistant and videographer, which means I can do 90 percent of my job from your home while giving out plenty of pets. You’ll also get pics/videos of your pet each day, and if you want to video chat with them, we can arrange that, too. I am from Winchester, where I was a longtime Scout and member of the Unitarian Universalist youth group. I moved back here at the end of 2020. I am respectful of people’s homes, and can handle mail, plants, and dog poop. I'm very adherent to pandemic protocols. I grew up with a Great Dane and love all dogs (and their cat siblings). If your dog likes exercise, I’m your person. I walk every day whether I have a dog with me or not. But I would rather have a dog with me, so regular dog walking is also one of my services. I’m used to giving meds, as our Great Dane had epilepsy then bone cancer. Both of my cats have had bum knees. If you want safe, reliable, pet care that will put your mind at ease, let’s make a plan!

Our two dogs were well taken care of while we were away for a long weekend. Dexter took them for long walks each day, which they loved. We especially appreciated that he could stay over to keep them accustomed to early morning walks. The dogs were so happy to see him again when he returned our house key. We hope he can stay again whenever we travel again.

Would like to thank Dexter for watching our Franky. It’s the first time we left him with a sitter and we were nervous, he made us feel calm and that Franky was in good hands. When we got home you could tell Franky had a great time, Dexter spoiled him with an hour walk and he passed out for bed as soon as we got home. We were so grateful for Dexter and highly recommend you let him watch your fur baby too!!!

I have had the privilege of knowing Dexter for the past 5 years in both a social and work environment. Dexter is a conscientious, responsible, and trustworthy individual. Dexter has a respectful, kind, and gentle approach when interacting with both animals and people. I trust my pet and my home with Dexter and give my highest recommendation.

I have known Dexter for many years. They also have worked in my office. Dexter is a kind, caring, gentle, reliable and dependable person. People gravitate to their warm and welcoming personality. Dexter's family owned a dog for many years that was loved and cherished. I would trust Dexter with my children, let alone my beloved pet. I couldn't recommend them enough. Your pet and companion should be well looked after in Dexter's care.
