Dog sitter with passion for pups
Pet care experience
What sets me apart from other sitters is not only my extensive experience in pet care but also my deep-rooted passion for dogs. Since I was 10 years old, I have been entrusted by neighbors, friends, and family to provide exceptional care for their beloved pets. From daily walks and feeding routines to bathing and playtime, I have handled dogs of every kind, gaining valuable insights into their unique needs and temperaments.
Reviews
Edward was great with my dog Lucas. He's super responsive and flexible. it was very easy to coordinate with him. Most importantly, Lucas was very happy hanging out with Edward and I'm sure he's looking forward to seeing him again
Edward is great. Very communicative, punctual and professional. I appreciate his help every time I have to go on a worktrip. My dog loves him, and he’s kinda picky with new people.
Edward is the best! Our dog, Cpyher had a blast! We received photos and Edward asked and answered all questions. He was quick with responses and was also kind enough to book us last min. Will use him again ! Highly recommend!
Great communication and loved all the pictures. Highly recommend!

Information Edward W. would like to know about your pet
When taking care of a dog, it is crucial to gather important information about them ahead of time. This knowledge helps ensure their well-being and enables you to provide appropriate care. Some essential information includes the dog's medical history, including any allergies, ongoing medications, or pre-existing conditions. Understanding their temperament, behavior, and training level is also crucial to create a safe and comfortable environment. It is important to know their dietary requirements, such as preferred food, feeding schedule, and any dietary restrictions. Additionally, understanding their exercise needs, preferred activities, and any specific fears or anxieties they may have will help you tailor their care accordingly. Knowing emergency contact information for the dog's owner, as well as a trusted veterinarian, is vital in case of any unforeseen situations.
A typical day
Dogs love exploring the outdoors, so taking them to a nearby park or nature trail is always a great option. I can play fetch with a ball or a frisbee, allowing them to exercise and burn off some energy. Another fun activity is going for a swim if there's a dog-friendly beach or a lake nearby. Additionally, I can engage their senses by setting up a small agility course in a designated area, incorporating tunnels, hurdles, and obstacles for them to navigate. I always remember to prioritize the dogs' safety, keep them on a leash when necessary, and make sure any activities are suitable for their age, breed, and physical condition.

Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, as I firmly believe in providing consistent and reliable care for furry friends. I understand that pets thrive on routine and structure, so I ensure that their needs are met on a regular basis. In my daily routine, I allocate specific time slots for activities such as feeding, walking, and playtime. This ensures that pets receive their meals at consistent times and enjoy regular exercise to keep them physically and mentally stimulated. I also dedicate ample time for cuddling, grooming, and providing affectionate attention, as building a strong bond with pets is essential for their overall well-being. I understand that each pet is unique, and their care requirements may vary. Therefore, I am adaptable and flexible in accommodating any specific needs or preferences of the pets I care for. By incorporating pet care seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, I ensure that pets receive the attention, love, and care they deserve consistently, creating a harmonious and enriching experience for both them and their owners.
