Pet care experience

Military Grade Pet Sitting

Comfortable with puppies, dogs, and elder dogs. Pets are your nonbiological children and deserve to be treated as such. Whether it’s playing, walking, or bathing, any way their wellbeing can be enhanced, I will strive to provide it. Because of my experience, I comfortable with dogs of any size and age. Over the years, the understanding that each fur baby is special and has their own speed the give their trust has been the corner stone when interacting with any animal. Whatever you want/need, pet bathing, walking, sitting, nail clipping, I am more than happy to accommodate. If you have multiple dogs, I am comfortable with up to 3 large dogs(100+), 4 medium dogs(50-99), or 6 dogs under 50 pounds at once. Additionally, I understand that life happens, and I am more than happy to ease your pain by offering my services with 0 advanced notice. However, I do have a full-time job so weekday activities after 7 am and before 4:30 pm will not be able to be offered if the care is required outside the hours of 11 am and 1 pm. If there are any questions, please let me know as I am always willing to jump at the opportunity to help any animal to the best of my ability.

Safety, trust & environment

It takes a lot to scare me off. I spent 3 years caring for an 80 pound dog aggressive dog and 1 year caring for a 100 pound dog aggressive dog. I am also comfortable around dogs that are aggressive/territorial as I understand the extra level of respect, prep, and understanding they require. It’s not their fault and often times it’s a symptom that can be fixed through gaining their trust

My cat does not like strangers. Imagine my surprise when he sent me a picture of Bonita in his lap, looking like she’s floating on a cloud. He told me he was patient, and let her come to him at her own pace as well as moved slowly to gain her trust. Great with animals and easy to work with

Very easy to work with. Flexible and actually wanted to help instead of treating watching my dog like is just another job. If he had not moved he would gladly hire him again

Please let me know of any special needs, diets, rules, number of dogs and level of aggression/areas of aggression. I am comfortable with aggressive dogs. If you could do me the favor of letting me know of any food aggression, territorialism or any actions or sounds that creates an environment where your dog becomes aggressive, I would greatly appreciate it.
