Experienced Dog Sitter for All Dogs

Pet care experience

I have several years of experience in pet care, specifically in dog sitting. I have cared for a variety of breeds and sizes of dogs, including small lap dogs and large breeds such as German Shepherds. I have experience administering medication and providing special care for dogs with medical conditions. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages, and I am dedicated to providing the best possible care for your furry friend while you are away. I am reliable, trustworthy and will provide daily updates to you.

Houston was amazing watching my little dog! He had him for a few days and was very communicative, always sent updates and pictures, and Arlo came back tired and happy! I could not recommend Houston enough, you will not be disappointed!

Information Houston R. would like to know about your pet

When providing dog sitting services, it is important to have a clear understanding of the dog's routine and needs. This includes information such as feeding schedule, exercise requirements, and any medical conditions or special needs the dog may have. Additionally, it is important to know the dog's temperament and behavior, including any known triggers or issues. Knowing the dog's past experiences with other people and animals, as well as their level of training and obedience, can also be helpful in providing the best possible care. Knowing the dog's favorite toys, games, treats, and activities can also help with keeping them entertained and happy. Having contact information for the dog's veterinarian in case of emergency is also important. It is also important to have the dog's owner's contact information and emergency contact information to reach them if necessary.

A typical day

As a pet care provider on my property, I am able to offer a variety of fun activities for dogs and other pets. I have a large fenced-in area where pets can run and play, and I also have a pond that they can swim in during the summer months. I can provide interactive playtime such as fetch, and tug-of-war to keep dogs physically stimulated. In addition, I can provide socialization for puppies and young dogs. All these activities will be tailored to the specific needs and preferences of each individual pet in my care.
