Pet care experience
Hello, everyone! I have returned to Rover after a break. Currently, I'm pursuing college studies, raising my children and freelance writing. I have owned, both a large breed dog and medium breed. Morgan, my black lab, had a gentle nature and Spicer, my medium breed, was a bit more high strung. Excellent customer service, I consider, is the root of a happy and productive working relationship. I pride myself on having an outgoing and willing nature to help put a client at ease with knowing that their beloved friend will be in good hands. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up around my grandparent's fluffy white highland terrier, Ajax. When I was 12 my parents finally consented to get a dog. We brought home an African Basenji, Spicer. She was a rare breed and a purebred with a bit of a high strung and territorial disposition, though she was extremely loyal to her family. She quickly became a spoiled and happy family member! I also clearly recall the first time I saw a brand new puppy for the first time. My neighbor, who was a hunter, had just brought home his yellow lab buddy. His daughter and I played in the grass with him for hours. We couldn't get over how quickly he would move around and then promptly plop down a take a little snooze. My experience administering medication I have no problem at all giving medication if needed. As long as I'm familiar with how it is administered and how often, along with any "tricks" that work, it is well within my comfort zone.

Information Kristen M. would like to know about your pet
The biggest question I would have about your dog is; What routine is he or she used to? I would like to keep him or her on as close to the same day to day activities and schedule they are used to. Please also feel free to let me know of any actions that help in a possible stressful situation with your dog, as well as their favorite toy, rewards and or diet needs.
A typical day
Time I'll spend with your dog I plan to spend as much time as needed with my pet clients as their families need. If I'm just coming out once or several times to walk your dog and/or checking in on them along with feeding, it is all up to the owner to stipulate what is most convenient for them. If I'm coming out to care from them while a owner is away, I would spend at least one to two hours tending to their care and giving them their much needed play time throughout the day and evening visits. Extra house-sitting services I encourage my clients to ask for other small tasks to be completed that would make their life easier. Some examples would be plant care, cleaning up the yard of pet waste, cleaning the areas where the pet sleeps and plays etc.. These tasks are all covered under my services.
