Every family has different needs and expectations, which is why I always request a meet and greet to go over your pet's routine. I have a form I'll fill out with you in person to go over things like vet info, medical conditions, feeding/bathroom schedule, etc. As a sitter, I want to make sure that there are as few disruptions to your pet's routine as possible. This also gives us a chance to make sure that I'll get along with them while the pet parents are around. The biggest thing I want to know ahead of that meet and greet is your pet's general temperament. This way I know how to approach them when I first enter your home. I love any and all breeds! As a pitbull lover, I know "aggressive breeds" don't exist and all deserve a chance to get snuggles. As long as I can have a meet and greet and your dog knows commands like "no," "kennel," or is generally well behaved and friendly, I'm willing to care for them. For cats, I respect that some like to keep their distance or take longer to warm up to new people. I have plenty of patience for the shy ones.

Every client has different needs so I'm flexible, but in general this is what you can expect for the services that I offer. FOR WALKS: Straightforward, I will walk your dog for half an hour wherever you'd like. If they also need feeding, I'm happy to do that and shorten the walk by a few minutes so they have time to eat. FOR DROP INS: After handling the basics (feeding, bathroom breaks, medication, etc) I can give your pet whatever attention they prefer during the rest of my time. Whether you have a hyper dog that needs some high intensity chasing in the yard, a cat that likes to snuggle in my lap, or a couch-bound pup that likes some lay down tug-of-war, I'm ready to play! FOR HOUSE SITTINGS: I'll be accepting other jobs on days that I house sit, but I will prioritize your pet and be sure to be around when they need to eat, be walked, or go to the bathroom. I can do as little as a few drop ins throughout the day, or as much as staying at your house overnight. We'll go over your needs and my availability during the meet and greet to figure out the best schedule for the stay. I include two short walks (10-15 minutes) with each house sitting if you'd like. I'll treat your home as my own, pulling in mail and newspapers, taking out trash/recycling, watering house plants, and whatever other tasks you need done while you're away.
