Information Dina J. would like to know about your pet

Just let me know of any special requests you might have or any special needs that are required for your loved one. I want to make all of my little visitors ( or homes I may be visiting ) feel well taken care of.

A typical day

I love to play with indoor and outdoor toys with dogs. It gives them a chance to release some energy. I also cat sit and enjoy spending time with kitty friends.

Pet care experience

I have pet sat for 20+ years for co-workers, family and friends. I had a large clientele down in Florida where I previously lived. I moved to Eastern KY recently and would love to continue pet sitting. I enjoy being around animals. They make me so happy. I also have past experience sitting for animals with medical conditions that required administering meds during the day which included eye and ear drops and giving pills when needed. I am used to walking dogs, and playing with dogs to get them exercise when needed. I have house and pet sat at clients homes as well as my own home depending on what is needed. I have watched dogs for various lengths of time as well , depending on the needs of clients from daily care up to watching pets for time frames of a week or so due to a work related trip or vacation.

Dina took great care of my cats while I was out of town. She is very friendly and responsive and I will definitely be booking her again!

Dina was wonderful with our kiddos! She even managed to get our big "stranger danger" boy to come hang out after only a few hours. She sent us updates and pictures throughout our trip and provided us with peace of mind. We will definitely reach out on future vacations.

We were so pleased with the care and consideration that Dina gave to our pets during their stay! We felt comfortable and at ease knowing our dogs were safe and felt at home while we were away!

Dina did a great job. Great communication. Lots of great pictures of my dogs enjoying themselves. My house looked untouched. Will definitely call on again.
