Highlights
Pet care experience
WFH Sitter: Huge Yard & 20+yrs exp.
With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, my life has truly revolved around man's best friend. I have raised dogs from energetic puppies to gentle seniors, learning how to read their body language, manage different temperaments, and anticipate their needs. Dogs are not just a job for me—they are a heartbeat for me. Over the last two decades, I have handled everything from administering daily medications and managing strict dietary routines to providing adequate playtime and basic obedience reinforcement.

I have a massive, fenced yard where your pup can securely run, play fetch, and burn off energy safely throughout the day!!

Schedule
A typical day/schedule would flow similar to this: Mornings: * 7:00 AM: Morning potty break in the huge yard, followed by a fresh breakfast and water. * 8:00 AM: A brisk morning walk or active fetching session to burn off early energy before work starts. * 9:00 AM: As I log onto work, dogs settle into my office. They can snooze on a cozy dog bed right next to my desk or look out the window. Afternoon: Play Breaks and Stretch Time • 12:00 PM: Lunch break! We head out to the big yard for 30 minutes of supervised play, sniffing, and sunshine. Afternoons/Evenings: 3:00 PM: A quick stretch and potty break. If a puppy needs a strict schedule or a senior dog needs frequent relief, this is when they get extra attention. Evening: Wind Down with added Hugs/Cuddling/Loving up on them! • 5:00 PM: Workday ends. We celebrate with dinner and a long, relaxing evening walk around the neighborhood. • 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM: Couch time. Dogs hang out with me in the living room for brushing, belly rubs, and plenty of love. • 10:30 PM: Final potty break in the fenced yard before a safe, peaceful bedtime.
