I have previously been a dog owner and I am currently a dog owner. We owned our family dog for 15 years. I am also a pet owner of two cats. I have been pet sitting for 3 years for dogs and cats. I have pet sat for large dogs and cats. My availability starting October 8th is part time. My hours are 3:30 pm- 11 pm daytime. I am also available to pet sit overnight. My availability is mainly evenings and weekends, expect that I am unavailable Tuesdays and Thursday 4:30-8:30 pm. This is because I have graduate school classes. I am excited to get to know your dog and would treat it with respect, care, and kindness. Special skills of mine include efficient dog walking, giving lots of play time to dogs, and spending a lot of time petting dogs. I would be interested in taking your dog on hikes if they are up for it. I would love to pet sit for you!
