All LOVE for ALL pets!

Pet care experience

Born into a household of dogs, snakes, guinea pigs, and a multitude of other non-human siblings, I’ve been providing pet care services professionally for over ten years. Mature and reliable. A true animal lover who bonds easily even with shy or surly personality types. Big beasties that other care providers can’t handle are my besties, and sweet seniors will swoon from my shiatsu-style massages. Most of my clients I have had for years and consider part of the family, but I am currently available for both long term assignments as well as short-term or holiday needs. I still have availability for overnight home/pet sitting dates during the upcoming holiday, so contact me soon if you plan on going out of town, and knowing that your furry family members are being loved and cared for by me would ease your mind while away.

WE’LL NEVER REBOOK. We have no idea if the man in the pictures watched our dog & we’ll never book “Eric” again. We paid for a sitter to stay in our home but they didn’t Details: We booked “Eric” to stay at our apartment with our dog while we were out of town. He wouldn’t meet us beforehand or upon our arrival home. Neighbors saw a man walk our dog but he covered his face so no one knew what he looked like (hat, sunglasses, balaclava). To this day, we don’t actually know if the guy in these pictures was even taking care of our dog in our home, which is really unsettling. Additionally, he wasn’t receptive or accommodating to our *multiple* statements/texts that we wanted daily updates of our dog. We occasionally got pics or slow motion videos but that was about it. He seemed to care more about getting internet up & figuring out live sports than accommodating our requests for updates. When you’re paying for someone to stay in your home, you want to trust them; and Eric did a lot of stuff that degraded our trust. In fact, we don’t believe he stayed in our home at all. The bed was untouched, the bathroom, etc. Our neighbors reported that they watched him come & go when taking our sweet Hendricks outside - they told us he definitely wasn’t staying at our place with our dog Before returning home, we messaged “Eric” that it was VERY IMPORTANT to us that we meet IN-PERSON since he DID NOT meet us before our departure (despite our attempts). We returned to LAX a bit early & notified Eric…and upon getting home, we discovered our dog alone and our apartment scattered with dog hair as though our dog was living there BUT NO SIGNS OF HUMANS. Everything was in its place as before with the exception of signs that Eric (or whoever) cooked something & then didn’t clean up the grease splatter on the stove Our dog is an easy going senior Labrador Retriever (swoon). He’s low energy & exceptionally easy to care for daily. We made sure our apartment, sheets, towels, etc were clean (minus some food we forgot in the frig, oops). Our place is also spacious & comfortable. So, we were perplexed when we discovered that it was practically untouched when we arrived home, esp since that’s the service for which we paid. If I were to do it again, I’d put a camera outside our door so that I could know definitively that our dog was being looked after properly. *Another thing*…We understand pet sitters have lives and need to make a living. We would’ve understood if the sitter needed to go to work during the day, run errands, etc. But without information, we assume our dog is being cared for and not being left during the day & overnight. Never making an attempt to meet us and *dismissing* our emphasis on the importance of meeting him when we returned home gives us the creeps. WHY would this guy do that?
