Updated July 2023. I've recently went back to working in the office Monday- Friday, which has prohibited me from pet sitting during the week. If your pet can be left alone for 8 -9 hours a day while I'm at work, go ahead and make a request, even if it says I'm not available. I'm friendly, personable, and easy going and have gone above and beyond to help pet owners when they've needed care for their beloved pets - driving them back to them, picking them up, sending frequent photos, extending stays, etc. I have several repeat, happy dogs that love staying with us. I'm also a cat pet owner and experienced with cats. I am active and outdoorsy, I enjoy taking walks with dogs and have a big adjacent private community park (with a separate, small fenced area for off leash dog play). I can play with them, take them on a trail walk, run them or just spend time talking to them and petting them. I have three older kids who also love animals. I would follow your instructions implicitly, communicate effectively with you throughout and tailor my care to each individual animal. My cat is socialized to be around dogs. But if your dog is not good with cats, I can keep them separate.
