Information Jean B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know when and how much your dog eats, their morning and night bathroom schedule, if they have medications, if they like to chew, if they tend to be anxious around other dogs, people, weather, doorbells, etc. If your dog plays a ton, send a toy, but don’t worry, I do keep some of my own. Allergies and preferences on what kind of treats your dog can have and how many are important. My kids can be kind of generous so please let me know.

A typical day

My neighborhood has many windy sidewalks, with a small “stream”, a field filled with bunnies, a pond with ducks, a second pond with geese, and lots of friendly animal and human faces. I’m new to the area, but I’m hoping to find some fog friendly hiking nearby.

Stay-at-home-mom loves animals

Pet care experience

I am an animal lover, a mother of 2, an aspiring writer, and love taking long walks. My children are having a great time getting to know different dogs and bonding with them like they were our own. I was fortunate enough to love and care for a special needs dog for 13 years and miss my time with him. I understand the importance of not leaving your pets alone all day long and look forward to providing some lucky dog with all the cuddles, play time, exercise, and gentle discipline they require while enriching the lives of my children and I. I would love to get to know your furry friend and look forward to learning about their particular needs and how I can help them. It's almost like you are doing me a favor! Pet care is literally my job. My only other obligations are caring for my children, which fits well with caring for pets. We are active and enjoy spending our days moving, walking, and having fun. I live in an upstairs condo with my children. I generally take 4 walks a day with dogs in my home. I have older cats who will stay hidden while your dog is here. If you allow it, I may bake your dogs healthy treats during the stay. When I visit your home, I want things to remain looking untouched, and I will clean up any messes your pet has made or does make while I’m there. This includes sweeping litter, cleaning urine and vomit and poo, vacuuming pet hair after a good petting, and cleaning up things your pet may have “stress chewed”.

Jean is absolutely the best! She treats Rusty so well, that we never have any concerns about his safety or happiness.

When I had to unexpectedly go out of town for over a week, Jean made me feel completely at ease that my dog was in great hands. She sent detailed updates and lots of adorable pics for me to know what all my little girl was up to. And although she could tell my dog missed me, my Frankie still seemed to have a great time visiting Jean's family and dog. It made my otherwise stressful trip a little less stressful since I didn't have to worry about my Frankie. Highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.
