Pet care experience

I have 15 years caring for my personal dogs and the dogs of others over the years. I pay close attention to the body language of a dog and really make an effort to get to know each dog I interact with. Dogs have needs and your dog deserves to be a dog that pays attention to those needs. I'm pretty laid back and have experience a large range of breeds and sizes. Caring for puppies and senior dogs has its challenges but I'know the patience and care that it takes to work with dogs that all various needs. I love dogs that enjoy being around other humans and or other dogs. Lap dogs are great as well but if your dog is active then I'll be sure to help them get release that extra energy by being active! I have a relaxed work schedule that allows me the flexibility to meet your pets needs. I will be sure to update you if I am to arrive outside of the scheduled time. Just so you’re aware I am fully vaccinated against COVID. Pet safety is my number one concern! Ensuring your pet stays safe and comfortable while you’re away is my priority. Dogs are always kept on the leash and harness you provide during walks and I’m always careful upon entering and exiting your home to ensure your pet stay safely inside.

I asked for early morning visits. Don agreed but didn’t communicate he couldn’t visit until the evening or mid morning until the gig had already started, I had given him my keys, and was already out of town. This impacted my cat’s feeding and medication schedule. Other than that, my cat seemed to like playing with Don.

Don was great with Jarvis. My kitty was in great hands with him. His attention to detail and care made me feel at ease while I was away. Will definitely look to him again in the future.

When needing a cat sitter for a second time, I knew who I wanted to book. This made me realize I never left a review from the first time. Don's attentive, prompt, and overall a great sitter.
