Animal lover seeks pet jobs etc.
Pet care experience
Retired professional animal lover seeks job pet sitting, walking, or training animals for days and/or nights. Experienced with training and raising unusual pets (raccoons, squirrels, ferrets, etc) in addition to dogs and cats. Currently have 2 cats but enjoy and appreciate most species. Have house near park and woods in the back. House is quiet with no children. Can walk larger dogs but prefer smaller animals for indoor and overnight stay. No reptiles please. Have excellent references. Why I love dog sitting I have had rescue dogs, cats and other pets all my life. I grew up in a house with woods in the back and squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons, etc orphans were always added to the extended dog and cat family. It feels natural to have animals around for me. I thrive on their love and fancy myself something of an animal whisperer. Meet my pets Have two friendly cats that are used to dogs and other animals. About my yard I have a quarter acre of land. The immediate backyard is mulched with shrubs but there is a healthy strip of woods. The house and neighborhood is private, not alot of noise, traffic or young children. There is a great park within walking distance. My experience administering medication in most cases.
Reviews
I’m not sure how to rate Julie. In terms of watching our dog while we were away she did a great job. She let us know daily how he was doing. The reason I have to give her a low rating is on the last day she let us know that the key we gave her for our side door had been giving her trouble and that she left our front door unlocked when she departed for the last visit. UNLOCKED! We were not returning for 10 hours and our front door was left unlocked... Our side door has a lock on the door knob and could have easily been locked manually on her way out. Not sure what the logic was to leave the front door unlocked.
Julie was great! We have a very high energy mixed breed. She stopped by three times a day to let her out and play in our backyard. She also sent a great Christmas picture of our dog over the holidays! Would definitely reccomend and book again!
Wonderful as always!
Julie is wonderful! My pets love her and are so happy after her visits

A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks The neighborhood I live in is beautiful. There are alot of retired folks here so not too much traffic. There is a wonderful park about a 10 minute walk from the house and once there, lots of trails to choose from. I normally walk about an hour a day for myself so a canine companion is more than welcome. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Wherever he wants! Time I'll spend with your dog mostly the whole day except when doing errands. I have a small business from my home.
