Do you have an energetic dog that needs a lunchtime walk while you're at work? Do you have a cat who needs cuddles while you're traveling? Need a pet sitter for the holidays? Is your pet shy and needing a gentle and understanding sitter? Let's connect and chat about how I can help you give your pet the best care possible! I've grown up with dogs for my whole life and have lived with cats off and on throughout the years and love animals of all kinds. I have one dog of my own, a sweet 7 1/2 year old golden retriever who loves to play fetch and give kisses. I also have previous experience volunteering at my local animal shelter giving cuddles to the older dogs, walking the energetic pups, and taking the long term shelter residents out on day trips. As a pet sitter, I'm comfortable caring for energetic pups as well as more skittish pets that need gentle, patient care so they feel less anxious while you're away. Walking dogs on my lunch break is also such a joy to me as a remote worker because it gets me outside for a breath of fresh air. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets when you travel and that you want the best care possible for them, so I provide my clients with updates on their pets' activities and as many photo updates as you'd like. I'll often text a quick update after each visit/walk such as if you're pet ate or not, if they went potty on their walk, if their walk was affected by weather, any treats I gave, and any notable events (such as chewing up a toy, a potty accident in the house, any vomiting or unusual stools, etc.). When pet sitting, I will also do a light sweeping/vacuuming of home's common areas and take out the garbage so you return to a fresh and clean home.
