I love animals! Just ask my dog.

Pet care experience

I have been around dogs my entire life and am comfortable with all sizes and breeds. I love dogs and can understand their needs by their unique communication style. I love to give attention to dogs and make them feel loved, especially when they may be feeling anxiety about being separated from their human parents. I am very open and available in terms of communication. When we agree to terms of a schedule and payment, I will always uphold my end. While space constraints prevent me from having additional pets in my home, I am perfectly willing to spend time in your home to give your dog the love and attention that he or she craves. I can adapt to different types of dog behavior, so I can adapt activities based on the individual animal.

Kerry is fantastic! We highly recommend her. She cared for my two pups, a Bichon Frise Beau and a skittish hound mix rescue (Luna), who was only 9-10 months old. Additionally, she took care of our cat, Mike. Luna is a friendly girl, but definitely has a fear of strangers and Kerry was able to take great care of her for the week we were gone. Most impressive was her handling of the muskrat incident LOL After heavy rains, a muskrat took up residence in a window well of our house, driving the dogs crazy. She contacted us on vacation to let us know how she planned to handle the situation. We have invisible fence so she wanted to make sure the dogs weren't injured in any altercation with the muskat. Thankfully, animal control wasn't needed as the muskrat left by morning, but we loved the care and concern she had for the safety of our dogs :). We have never had someone other than family care for our dogs previously, and Kerry exceeded our expectations!

I have known Kerry for ages and there is no one I would trust more with my fur babies. Her dog, Rex, might just be one of the happiest, most loved old pups out there. We've spent quite a bit of time together with my own pup, Xena. Kerry is responsible, caring, and treats every animal as if it's her own. I know that when I'm away, my critters are in good hands.

I have found Kerry to be a responsible and caring pet sitter/ caretaker. She has always arrived promptly according to the hour(s) we expected her. Kerry loves animals of all kinds and treats them gently and is affectionate not only towards her own pets, but also towards those of others. Kerry has followed directions and feeds, walks, and cleans up after our pets as instructed. Kerry is organized and dependable, and is also able to respond quickly in emergency situations. I would not hesitate to recommend her to care for your pet.

Information Kerry A. would like to know about your pet

I don't care about sitting for any specific breed - I love all dogs! What I would like to know is a bit about your dog's personality. Is he aggressive towards other dogs? Is he leash reactive? Is he a super chill friendly guy? These are things I like to know so I can adapt activities accordingly. Also, if your dog has any health issues, I would need to know that right off the bat so I can take excellent care of him or her.

A typical day

I love to go for walks in local parks or around the neighborhood to see other dogs (if that's your dog's thing). I also like to take dogs to local hiking trails, if they are able, and let them explore a little bit while keeping them on a slightly longer leash. Additionally, I love to play games with dogs like fetch or rope tug, or just hang out and rub a belly. I'm very in tune to how dogs act and how they may be feeling, and will adapt their activities as needed.
