Loving dog sitter welcome to rest

Here’s a polished version of your message that keeps your voice but makes it flow more smoothly and professionally: Hello! My name is Kathleen, and I am Deaf. I have a deep love for dogs and many years of experience caring for them. I’ve cared for several of my own dogs, and my most recent dog, Nika, was with me until she passed away in January 2025. She was very special to me. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs—playing with them, feeding them, taking them on walks or outside for potty breaks, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I respect each dog’s personality and give them the space they need to feel comfortable and relaxed in my home. If you’re looking for someone gentle, patient, and experienced to care for your dog, I would love to help!If you want,

Schedule

dogs are welcome to rest with me, even on my bed if it helps them feel more at home. if your dog needs feeding, potty breaks, or playtime during the day. Just let me know your dog’s schedule, and I’ll follow it closely. I’m calm, gentle, and patient. I give dogs the space to be independent, but I’m always nearby when they need attention or love. House sitting — I would love to watch your pet, but while I work overnight Sunday through Thursday, my boyfriend is willing and happy to help watch your pet during those hours.

Safety, trust & environment

I always take dogs out on a leash for potty breaks. I stay outside with them until they poop and pee. Sometimes we sit on the patio or relax on the grass for a few minutes. I also watch closely in case a dog has any allergies or needs special care outside. I give dogs the freedom to be themselves and stay comfortable while keeping them safe and cared for.

A typical day

Here’s what your dog can enjoy with me: • A peaceful home and calm environment • Leashed walks for potty breaks (I stay outside until they’re done) • Time outside on the patio or resting on the grass • Occasional trips to a dog park (30 mins to 1 hour) • Fun beach visits when possible (only if your dog enjoys it) • A bath before going home after beach days to keep them clean and happy • Space to nap, play, or just be themselves

I always watch closely for allergies or special needs. I let each dog be independent, but I’m always close by if they need comfort, attention, or care.
