Availability

I currently work semi-remotely as a sales rep, typically having weekends off, and Mondays and Fridays working from home. My work days are relatively short (~10am-4pm) and I have flexibility to come home during lunch. I also drive locally for work so I generally have availability to make stops during the work day if needed for pet care. My dog, Finley, typically gets two walks a day (morning and night) and ample play time outside, weather permitting.

Safety, trust & environment

While I do not have a fenced in yard, I live within walking distance of several parks and the greenway. My dog roams the house freely while I am at work but I do have a large crate that I can use if needed, or can be used for your pet so you don't have to bring one. We typically go on two walks a day and try to get some other outside play time as well. I have a contained porch and we love to sit out there and people watch. Pets are allowed on all furniture and we love to snuggle! I am available for in-home stays as long as Finley can come along. He is completely house trained...doesn't chew furniture or rip up toys and hasn't had an accident since he was a puppy. He is very well-mannered and will stay off the furniture when told.

Reliable, experienced animal lover!

Pet care experience

I have been pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was a teenager. I have reliable transportation and work from home several days a week, plus my work schedule is very flexible as I'm driving locally for work. This offers me a lot of flexibility for home stays as well as daily visits to your home. I also have experience training dogs...I trained my border collie myself from 8 weeks old. He is completely house and crate trained, as well as off leash trained (although we mostly use a leash anyways for safety purposes). I also love cats and all other animals (including reptiles!) although my dog has not been around cats in the home for several years.

Hilary did so well with Mango over the 6 days he was there! He loved being there and I’ll definitely book again for my next trip!
