I would love to take care of your dog(s) or cat(s). Our family currently has three dogs. Jewel turned seven on June 14, 2025. She joined our family when she was 8 weeks old. We have two dogs (Daisy and Stella) who were born on January 31, 2023 and joined our family on March 24, 2023. We also have numerous fish. Honestly, I cannot remember a time when I have not had a dog (or cat) and/or taken care of a friend's or neighbor's dog (or cat). And since I work from home a majority of the time, I can adjust my schedule to fit your dog's or cat's needs-- it is wonderful to take a break and get out of the house for a bit. Working from home also means I can take last minute clients and do not charge you when your plans change suddenly--like you are sick, working from home for the day, or go on a last minute trip because you got a great deal. And I can take your dog(s) last minute when you forget an appointment or suddenly remember your child's event that you need to rush to after work. I can also provide extra visits if your pet is sick and needs additional care just to make sure he or she is doing okay to ease your mind while you are at work or out-of-town for the day. I play fetch, towel your pets off after being in the rain or snow, put on sweaters, scoop poo, change litter, clean up messes, give treats or medicine, text photos and updates, give fresh food and water, brush fur, fill Kongs, make food or treats, work on training, and give lots of love, hugs and cuddles, etc. (I even perform tasks like taking out food from your freezer to unthaw because you forgot to do it before going to work, getting your mail, putting out trash and recycling cans, or letting in your cleaning person when he or she forgets the key to your home.) I will tell you if I cannot perform a job but am willing to try most anything. And, if you would like, my husband and our son (age 16) can help me when needed so we can easily accommodate more than one pet and provide lots of attention. Just let me know if that is something you prefer. Furry family members bring such joy to our lives and are wonderful companions. They are with us through the ups and the downs of life and love us through it all. I promise I will treat your pets like my own--with love and kindness. (I try to follow the Golden Rule that I have taught my children and my Sunday School kids-- treat others the way you want to be treated.) I understand that you want to feel like your pet's caretaker is trustworthy and reliable because that is what I want when I hire someone when we are away from home. I will happily provide references.
