Availability
My current main job is as a cashier/in-store shopper at a grocery store. This job works well for me since it keeps me in shape and gives me lot of exercise (walk 5 to 8 miles a day) to maintain an active lifestyle and keep up with and walk more active, larger dogs. In addition, my work schedule allows me more flexibility for scheduling walks and drop in visits. I usually work 9:30 am to 6 pm most days and can fit in drop-in visits or walks in the early morning before 9 am or early to mid evening after 6:30 pm. I typically have Mondays and Fridays off. However, if I have up to 2 or 3 weeks notice, I can request specific days off to be free to pet/house sit or walk dogs.

Safety, trust & environment
I am very careful about closing and locking doors to prevent any dogs (or cats) from accidentally getting out. I walk defensively and try my best to avoid any issues with other animals we encounter on walks. I carry citronella spray to address any aggression from other dogs or animals. I will clean up any pet waste I see and make sure water (and food dishes if desired) are full. I also make sure there is nothing in the pet’s reach that could be dangerous to them.
Information Elizabeth P. would like to know about your pet
I appreciate any and all info so that I can better care for animals that I am responsible for. I want to be aware of whether there are any issues with agression toward other animals or if there are health issues which I need to be aware of or address. I would also like to know if dogs are spayed and neutered (and if not, if they are in heat if they are female).
A typical day
I like to play with any toys available for cats and dogs. For dogs, I play fetch with them and give treats for following commands like “sit” and “lay down,” and take them out on 20-30 min walks (or up to 1 hour or more if needed for larger, more active dogs). I make sure to give water (extra on hot days or having longer walks) and treats (either mine - usually have American sourced/manufactured duck or salmon jerky on hand - or their regular ones if provided - and will feed them their regular meal if desired and make sure their water dish is full. I always do my best to reassure the animals I care for and make them feel safe and loved.

Loving Dog Sitter Flexible Schedule
Pet care experience
Transform your pet care experience with a trusted, experienced animal lover! I’m a kind, reliable, conscientious, and energetic woman in my early 40s with a lifelong passion for animals. I’ve been a devoted dog mom for more than 20 years and have spent the past 5 years working as a part-time dog walker and pet/house sitter. I have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats (although dogs are my main focus), and I’m committed to giving your pets the same exceptional love and attention that I give my own Cocker Spaniel, Maya. I am especially skilled in caring for senior and special-needs dogs. My heart dog, Layla, lived with chronic kidney disease and neurological/spinal issues for several years, and I provided her with daily, attentive care. I was also the primary caregiver for her brother, Luke, who had similar health challenges. I managed both Layla and Luke’s medical needs until they passed from kidney failure in 2020 at 15½ and 16 years old. I currently have to give my current dog, Maya, multiple meds per day and carefully monitor her due to heart disease. Let me treat your dog(s) or cat(s) like royalty and give you the peace of mind that comes from knowing they are in loving, capable hands while you’re away. Your pets will be showered with affection and cared for with the utmost dedication to their safety, health, comfort, and happiness. Please note: I do not drive and typically walk or use public transit, so I prefer to care for pets located in the Bay Park, Linda Vista, or UTC areas.
