Pet Lover Ready to Help

Pet care experience

My lifelong love for dogs has shaped me into a dedicated and experienced pet sitter. From my early days as a kid eager to help out, I’ve been entrusted with the care of dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a wise old companion, I’ve got it covered. I take pride in going the extra mile for your furry friends. I’m an avid walker, always up for long, enjoyable strolls, and I’m just as happy to match the pace of the dogs comfort. From extended overnight stays to regular check-ins, I’ve got the flexibility to meet your needs, ensuring your pets feel at home and cherished. With my own miniature Goldendoodle, Mitzi, whom I raised and trained, I understand the importance of a loving and skilled caretaker. My family’s deep affection for dogs has been a part of my life, and I even played a strong role in training our familys’s full sized Golden Doodle, Ellie. So, what sets me apart? It’s the blend of experience, devotion, and a genuine love for animals. When you entrust your pet to me, you’re not just getting a sitter; you’re getting a passionate, and loving companion for your beloved furry family members.

Drake was absolutely amazing with our new puppy! He sent great photos and did an excellent job cleaning up and making sure our puppy got an appropriate amount of exercise. He provided us with excellent feedback that helped us as new pet owners. Thank you Drake!!

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize the safety and well-being of your pets while caring for them in your home. Here’s how I ensure a secure and comfortable environment: 1. Meet & Greet: Before any pet-setting assignment, I like to arrange a ‘meet and greet’ with clients and their pets. This gives me the opportunity to get to know the pets, understand their specific needs, and build trust with both the clients and the animals. 2. Adherence to Instructions: I carefully follow the instructions provided by the clients, including feeding schedules, medication administration, and any other special requirements. Consistency and attention to details are key. 3. Home Security: I maintain the security of your home by ensuring all doors and windows are properly locked, and I’ll take measures to make it look like someone is present, such as adjusting lights and curtains. 4. Regular Updates: I understand how important it is for clients to have peace of mind. I can provide regular updates, including text messages, photos, and videos, to keep clients informed about their pets’ well-being and activities. 5. Exercise and Play: I engage in activities and playtime with the pets to keep them active and happy. This includes walks, play sessions, and companionship. 6. Cleanliness: I’m committed to maintaining a clean environment for your pets. This includes proper waste disposal, cleaning up after any messes, and keeping their living space tidy. 7. Emergency Preparedness: I’m well-prepared for emergencies and have the contact information for local veterinarians and animal hospitals on hand. I’ll follow your emergency plan if the need were to arise. In essence, I treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect that I would provide and expect for my own. Your pets’ safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities.

Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine. Working from home full-time on weekdays, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be readily available for pet care. Whether it’s taking them out for a walk, providing companionship, or attending to their needs, I can easily accommodate their requirements. While my work day does involve daily meetings, they are typically brief, lasting no longer than 30-45 minutes each, and spaced throughout the day. This means I can efficiently balance my work commitments with providing excellent care for your pets. Plus, I’m available for pet care services any day of the week, ensuring that your furry friends receive the attention and care they deserve.
