FT Dog Walker + Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

*Flexible schedule. Please message me for late morning and midday services so I can try fit your fur baby in! I’m a life-long pet lover & pet sitting/dog walking is my job! My husband & I are proud fur parents of our dog, Tilly, & cat, Mojo. I am very engaged with animals during walks, play time, commands/tricks, etc. My husband also helps when he's home from work so they gets lots of attention! I'll be sure to allow your animal to get used to their surroundings if in my home as well as to myself & our pets. I'll also make sure they're comfortable & make adjustments as needed. We will adhere to any restrictions or requests you have for your animal & also keep you updated throughout the time they are in my care. I'm very accessible through phone call, text & the Rover app. If you have smaller furry friends I do have one year experience volunteering at a humane society socializing rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, and birds. I'm open to walks, short term stays, drop-in visits, long term visits, and am willing to work with you and your pet to make it work. Our Pointer-mix is very friendly, loves to play, go for walks/runs & snuggle on the couch. We live in a smoke free home with a large, fenced in yard so pets have plenty of room to run around & play. They also have access to all of the furniture and best spots to nap in the sunshine. Our neighborhood is great for walking and is relatively quiet, away from main roads, with lots of space to sniff and explore. Our cat is very social & friendly with dogs - it just takes him a few minutes to warm up to the new humans who come to our home for meet and greets. Your pet will get the same care as mine! Tilly gets three walks per day plus lots of backyard time. In the evenings my husband usually takes over doggy play time in the yard & command/trick/treat time 😋 If your pet is used to sleeping with you in bed they are more than welcome to snuggle up with us. We have a spare room so if that space is needed for them to be crated or to have their own bed it’s available.

Kala was really warm and asked great questions on meeting our pup. She provided a detailed description of their walk and lots of cute pictures! We felt Betty was in great hands!

A typical day

I know how it feels to have to leave pets behind so I treat them just like my own! They can snuggle up with me to nap if they like then play & tug with Tilly until we head outside. We love walking around our neighborhood & visiting the local parks. Please supply your pets food, treats, waste bags, leash, etc. Feel free to bring anything else to help them feel comfortable - toys, bed, blanket, etc.

Pets are my job so everything fits in around them. We head out for a long walk first thing in the morning, time in the yard before I leave for my midday walks, more yard/play time late afternoon/early evening, a walk if it isn't too hot, and another walk before bed. Most week days my schedule is flexible so it can be adjusted to your pets needs. If I can't fit the time you need exactly I will provide a time range to try make it work! Your pet will have space to play, nap and relax around my work station and in our living room. *Dogs must be potty trained and friendly with cats if care will be provided in our home.
