Pet care experience
I've taken care of dogs and cats for others for over a decade. I'm currently childless with no pets and work from home in IT so I have maximum flexibility to meet needs you may have. I can work from my laptop anywhere on a flexible schedule so unless I have a meeting I'm very available. I don't have any animals of my own because my condo doesn't allow it, but love caring for other people's pets. Please note: continuous all day care in your home is my default service and my price reflects that. I'm primarily a vacation sitter and book only one client at a time. If you book my nightly rate I guarantee 18 out of the 24 hours in the day will be at your home with your pet(s). If you want to get price down and are in Allentown, I might suggest booking my drop in services or discussing with me your expectations for hours so we can get to a price that works for us both. I also may lower price charged for each additional pet depending on pet's energy level and needs. For example, if you have a second or third dog that mostly sleep all day can lower the price extra for each extra dog fee. I'm an avid outdoor hiker and walker so even high energy pups are good with me. I also take care of your home and pets as if they were my own. Golden rule.
Reviews
Hutch was very kind and considerate of my two kitties. This was the first time we have left our two kitties with a sitter. Hutch frequently sent us photos of our little fur friends which we appreciated. We would definitely have Hutch care for our kitties during future trips.
I had never left my shih tzu Maggie with anyone in the ten years of our life together, choosing to take her with me on vacations. When a family wedding came up being held in another state, I worried who would stay with Mag. No need to worry. From the 1st meeting with Hutch I knew everything would be fine, Hutch is a very kind and sincere person whom you can trust to be with your pet in your home(she stayed overnight for 2 nights). Everything went beautifully and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who loves their furry pet. So glad I found her and I didn't feel the need to call home and check how things were going! I do usually tend to be a worry wart when it comes to Mag but not in this case!
We had a change on our flight and Hutch was able to help out last minute, we are very thankful!
Hutch was a wonderful kitty sitter, especially considering Pumpkin was just a kitten! She was very courteous of our home and sent us daily pictures. 5 starts for sure! Thank you again Hutch!

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or any behaviors you are working on training and I will be happy to accommodate. Also please let me know any places your pet can not go (rooms, furniture, parts of yard, etc.).
A typical day
I like to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally with toys and games as well as cuddle on the coach or often down on the floor with then giving them lots of love.

Availability
I'm available to pet sit in your home while working from home day hours starting early morning M-F if your home is conducive for me to do so and generally stay overnight unless you'd like me not to. I need a table wifi, and ac for working. I can do drop in visits if you are ten minute drive from me during M-F as well. On Saturday and Sunday I am fully available for your pets unless I have made plans or am traveling myself. For spending night in your home, I am respectful of your privacy and only go in bedrooms for sleep and can wash the sheets for when you get back. If you don't want me in bedroom and have a comfy couch I am fine with that too.
