Pet care experience

United States Air Force Veteran

What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine care, patience, and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. I enjoy keeping pets engaged through play, affection, and enrichment activities, including fun activities like dress-up and photos (with the owner’s permission). I’m also comfortable providing gentle care for senior pets who may need a slower pace, extra patience, and more companionship. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs play and structure or an older pet who needs calm attention and comfort, I adjust my care to fit their needs.

Apollo was in good hands with Kelly! I received pictures each day, and Apollo always looked happy and content. Kelly was responsive whenever I reached out to her with questions or concerns.

Kelly communicated often and sent lots of pictures. She walked them several times each day and let them play in the yard. I Would have preferred that they not be left alone longer than 5-6 hours but I did not specify that (they were left up to 9.5 hours alone).

Kelly took great care of my 2 dogs! She sent me photos and videos of them every day and gave me updates on how they were doing. She is so sweet and loves dogs! Would definitely rebook :)

Schedule

As a stay-at-home seamstress, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I make time for regular feeding, fresh water, exercise, and play, while also ensuring pets receive attention, grooming, and any needed care. Because I work from home, I can maintain a consistent schedule and respond promptly to their needs throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care based on each pet’s individual needs and the owner’s instructions. This includes feeding and providing fresh water, taking dogs on walks, cleaning up after pets, administering medication if directed, engaging them in play and exercise, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. I also keep living areas clean by cleaning litter boxes, food and water bowls, and any pet-related messes. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s normal routine and will communicate with the owner by providing updates and notifying them of any concerns while they are away.

A typical day

I love making sure pets have a fun, enjoyable experience while they’re in my care. We’ll play their favorite games, go on walks, enjoy interactive toys, and spend plenty of time giving them attention and affection. If the pet enjoys dressing up, I’d be happy to put them in cute outfits for fun photos (with the owner’s permission). For older or more laid-back pets, I’m just as happy to relax with them, provide gentle companionship, belly rubs, brushing, or simply keep them comfortable and feeling loved. I always tailor activities to each pet’s personality, energy level, and the owner’s preferences.

Before caring for a pet, I like to know as much as possible to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I ask about their feeding schedule, exercise routine, favorite toys and activities, personality, any medical conditions or medications, allergies, fears or triggers, and whether they get along with other people or animals. I also like to know their daily routine, emergency contact information, veterinarian details, and any house rules, so I can provide the same level of care they’re used to while their owner is away.
