Professional Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

As a Fear Free Certified Professional, I am committed to preventing and alleviating fear, anxiety, and stress in pets. I am also certified in Pet CPR by the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care. With a lifelong passion for animals and experience raising both dogs and cats, I bring a wealth of experience to caring for your furry family members. From nurturing puppies to providing gentle care for senior dogs and cats, my experience includes a range of breeds and personalities. Trusted by friends and family to be their go-to pet caregiver, I take pride in creating a comfortable environment for your companions. I'm well-versed in administering medications if needed, ensuring your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. Your pets are in skilled and caring hands with me.

Fred did very well with both dogs. He kept me up to date on how they were.

Fred is very professional and took good care of our senior golden retriever. He was prompt in giving us daily updates which gave us a lot of confidence. Our house was spotless when we came back too! Overall would definitely pick him to pet sit our dog again.

Safety, trust & environment

Doggy Day Care and Overnight Boarding requests will be accepted on a case by case basis. My cats are kept fully separated upstairs when necessary so comfort and familiarity with cats is not required. My Dog is very friendly, so a short doggy meet & greet & behavioral evaluation is all that is needed. Depending on temperments I am able to provide daycare service for between 1-4 dogs and overnight boarding for 1-2 dogs.

Information Fred B. would like to know about your pet

It's really helpful to know the activity level of dogs, distance they are used to walking, comfort on leash and around other dogs/people, health and behavior quirks, important commands, etc.

A typical day

I am comfortable walking one or many dogs with a range of health needs and behavioral quirks. We will enjoy exploring the neighborhood, and parks/trails if there are any nearby. Stimulation not just from walking, but smelling, listening, seeing, and feeling nature when possible. Depending on space - playing with balls and toys in yards and fenced in areas.
