I work from home part time in Tacoma and nearby in Puyallup the rest of the time. Fully fenced yard, reliable vehicle and a flexible schedule. Between my fiancé and I, the pets are never alone more than 4 hours. Happy to stay the night at your home and do the other tasks needed while you are away (watering plants, taking in the mail, feeding fish/birds etc). I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, quail, budgies and fish and I love all animals. I have experience with saltwater aquariums I promise to do my very best to make your pet comfortable and happy while you are away. Vacations are important and you certainly don't want to spend yours worrying about your furry family members - I promise you won't have to! Why I love dog sitting When I was little I had "imaginary dogs" rather than "imaginary friends." I asked for a puppy every holiday (birthday, christmas, easter - who cares!) for years and years and we finally got one when I was a freshman in High School. I now have my own but dog sitting keeps me from adopting more than the one. ;) My experience administering medication With a little instruction as to the way the dog is comfortable with it, yes. I have done the old pill-in-the-treat trick many times. Have also given eye drops to a rowdy bulldog so I'm ready for the next challenge!
