I'm a certified dog trainer, got my certification in 2014 from Animal Behavior College. I have been pet sitting/dog walking for several years. I have the most experience with cats and dogs, but I have experience with reptiles, fish, and birds as well. I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to give each client's pet(s) my undivided attention. This also allows me to accommodate last minute changes such as canceling with less than 24 hours notice or needing a last minute sitter/dog walker. I prefer to pet sit in the client's home because that's where your pet will be most comfortable. Making sure your pet is happy or as happy as they can be while you're away is my goal. I like to keep in touch with clients by providing pictures and a daily update to let them know everything is OK and what their pet has been up to. I have my own leashes and harnesses for dog walking along with poop bags just in case. And whether I'm pet sitting or dog walking, I always make sure to have the phone number for a preferred vet and if available at least 1 emergency contact if I can't get a hold of you for whatever reason. Your pet is family, and while you're away I'll care for them as if they were my family too.
