I have had pets since I was old enough to remember. There have been pets at our house from friends to family. When they come they rarely want to go home. Lol. I am present 24/7 with your beloved pet, I work from home so they are never left alone during their stay. (Most sitters leave your dog unattended or caged for 10 hours or more while they go to work.) In addition to my long history with animals, I also have lots of experience working with children, and Seniors. I bring that patience and understanding with me to every client. I’ve learned that it’s my duty to make sure that every dog’s needs are met in a way that benefits them directly. I will be taking a CPR & First Aide course online soon. Key Qualifications • Over 10 years of experience in handling animals, children, and Seniors • Free of allergies to animal hair/dander • Ability to work flexible hours • Own a reliable car, driver’s license, and current auto insurance • Have power over leashed animals over 40 lbs • Can follow owner policies and procedures at all times • Good listener, have excellent interpersonal skills • Attention to detail • Responsible and organized • Profound time management skills and the ability to prioritize • Ability to stay at the client’s residence Will have our Walks around the community and picking up after is also very important to me. Extra house-sitting services must be disclosed when requesting a sitting and there may be an additional charge or courtesy depending on tasks :) Most pets suffer from separation anxiety at first and don't eat for the first few hours that they are separated from their family. I will take the time to comfort your fur babies. My schedule is this I am up by 6:00 and I have my coffee and take your doggie outside. I will be preparing breakfast for my granddaughter and caring for her needs and your doggie's needs as well, and your dog will go outside again and have a walk-about as my glass door in the back yard is always open, I sit by the swing as I watch. My life is easy going and they will not feel anxious or frustrated with me. I will send you pictures every day and keep you updated on their eating habits and fun times. Your dog will find that the big backyard has a lot of room to run and play and explore. I have a big fenced yard and my back door is always open. But if you prefer for your dog's safety they can go into a crate that you bring or I have a big children's playpen where I can corral your dog if you would prefer.
