High energy and lots of patience.

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m fresh out of college and have lots of time on my hands. I will take pups for runs if so needed. Otherwise, I’ll show them the attention and love they deserve. I’ve owned a few well trained dogs, and have ample patience for them. I’ve cared for dogs with special requests or disabilities and love them all the same. I have plenty of availability times both on weekends and weekdays, and can stay for a week at a time for most occasions. I’m easy to communicate with, get ahold of, and I love interacting with the owners just as much as the dogs themselves! I understand that every dog has personal and unique needs. I can’t wait to get the opportunity to be able to cater to their needs upon your requests!

James was great with our pup and always on time for daily walks. Highly recommend.

James is a family friend of ours, and we have had him dogsit for us multiple times over the last few years (while we went on vacations and such), sometimes on short notice. James has always been extremely understanding to us and has never ceased to impress us with his sense of responsibility and intelligence. James is great with our animals and makes sure that our house is taken care of, should we need him to stay over night. James is a great choice for any busy dog owner to employ.

I think James would be a fantastic dog sitter for numerous reasons 1) He loves dogs. When he was old enough to care for a dog he bugged his mom until she agreed to rescue one. 2) He’s responsible. He followed up on his promise to train, feed, and clean up after his new pet, which a lot of young teens don’t. 3) Jim’s got a good work ethic and follows through on jobs and projects. He earned the rank of Eagle in Scouts which proves that point. I can’t think of anyone who would make a better dog sitter.

Minor quirks they might have, whether they jump on me, or nip, and chew my shoes. Just little personality traits I can take into consideration. I take all breeds of dogs, from chihuahua, to Great Dane.

Consistent walks around the neighborhood, and nearby dog parks they haven’t been to yet. I have frisbees and soccer balls that I take everywhere with me.

Working part-time at Harpoon Brewery, so I’m working most nights. Mornings are wide open, however! I also have unconventional Sundays and Mondays off, so any long weekend trips can be covered.
