Pet care experience

💕 The Whisker Watcher 💕

I grew up with a large number of furry friends since the moment I was born. They have beautiful souls and I believe if the world saw more through the eyes of our animal friends this would be a much better world. At this point in my life I want to dedicate some of my time to give extra attention and affection to your pet in my spare time. It would be a pleasure to be able to spend time with your pet companion. Due to my current work schedule it is not possible for me to have a full time commitment with a pet. I have lots of affection to give and I love the idea of being able to dedicate some of my time doing something that will bring joy to my heart.

This was a first for us - leaving our fur-baby with someone other than family. Laura quickly won her over at a meet and greet and a couple of pre-stay walks, and soon became part of Marley’s circle. We originally booked a stay in our home, but Laura had just taken possession of a house that was very close to ours, so we opted to have Marley stay in her home. Marley had a great time keeping the squirrels in line and relaxing in the shade. Laura provided great care and communicated just as we had asked. I will not hesitate in leaving Marley in Laura’s care in the future.

We had Laura stay at our house with our dog, Kinley, for six nights. Kinley is a recent rescue and still adjusting, so we were especially grateful for how patient and gentle Laura was as he worked through his anxiety about our being away. She took him on wonderful walks, gave thoughtful and timely updates, and it was clear she genuinely loves dogs. She also took excellent care of our home — we returned to a spotless, well-kept space. It was truly a pleasure working with her, and we will absolutely be using Laura for all of our future dog-sitting needs.

I work full time however my job provides me with the flexibility to work from home. All I need is a reliable (good quality) internet connection and I can work from anywhere. I have the ability, compassion and love to do this.

Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to care for your pet at your home. My landlord doesn’t allow me to have pets. I drive as SUV and have proper safety gear to keep your pet safe and comfortable in my car.

A typical day

Lots of attention and one on one interaction. Walks, play time and grooming. I talk often to them and acknowledge their behavior. I have a very loving nature and it is always received with happy tail wags and smiles. In the summer months I love to take them to the river and let them enjoy the water. If your pet tends to pull on walks, I will use a gentle lead to correct that behavior.

Please fill in the care information for your pet profile, it is very helpful. I need to know about any type of allergies, triggers, behaviors. Separation anxiety. I would like to know if your pet suffers from any ailments and needs to take medication at certain times. If they are ok in the car, around other dogs. And please always include the feeding information.
