I have been a professional pet sitter for the past 20 years I've be working from home. I've had dogs my entire life, since I was crawling, and will spoil your dog/cat/other pet rotten. I also have had cats, gerbils, fish, turtles, and birds. You will get daily photo/video and text updates, or any time you wish, just text me, call me, email me, I respond immediately. You'll have photos of your pet hanging out getting love, playing with toys, walking, eating and yes, even sleeping comfortably. I personally have had two bad pet sitting experiences with my local competition described as "dog lovers" online. I'm the utter polar opposite of the awful experiences I have had with pet sitters. Your pet will be treated as a cherished family member- ALWAYS. I roll out the red carpet, put the cherry on top of your/your pet's experience, and give 150%, going the extra mile to ensure comfort, fun, and happiness the entire time I'm with your pet. You never have to worry about food, exercise, walks, play time, potty breaks, love, attention and an abundance of affection. I give more than I'm hired for - ALWAYS. I've been known to show up more often than I'm paid for, just because a pet is alone and needs love. I'm available from 6:30 AM - 10:00 PM for visits and walks. If you have a special time request, just ask. I can accommodate almost any request with my flexible schedule. In my home there is a dog bed in every room and two in the yard. I have a full size crib mattress in my home office, your dog can make themselves at home in any room on any piece of furniture. I have a spare bedroom where I offer cat boarding and lots of playtime. There is plenty of room, cat toys and I will even make a hiding tent out of a sheet for shy kitties to have a place to hide. I have video surveillance, so if I'm in my office, or anywhere else, I can monitor your dog from another room on my computer or cell phone. My camera alerts me of sound or motion in the next room. Chances are your dog will be under the surveillance of my own eyes for the entire time they are in my care. I can't get/give enough dog/cat love. I will walk your dog all over! You can map out your dog's favorite path, or trail and we will follow it or I can change it up and come up with a new walk destination. If your area is not conducive for walking your baby, I can put him/her in my SUV and drive to a local park, greenbelt, or area close to your home where they can get their sniff on. My daily goal is to keep your pet happy and stimulated, whatever is best for your pet works for me. Some dogs are lap dogs and don't like to play, others want the ball thrown until they are exhausted. Some cats love to play with toys, golf balls, or chase laser lights, others love lap time and pets -- whatever your pet wants or needs, they will get. I love senior dogs, active dogs, hyperactive dogs, puppies, timid dogs, shy dogs and fearful dogs - (cats too!). I also love every other animal species, I've taken care of lizards feeding them mealworms and crickets, and spraying them with water; hermit crabs, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and fish. I've taken care of rescue dogs that were abused by their previous owner. My approach of calm love will win over any animal. I'm a daily pet nanny to many dogs and cats, including my own, and it never gets old. I wake up raring to go because a day without dogs or other animals is like a day without sunshine. I love all the different personalities! I have an older slow arthritic dog I care for in his home who loves to get out, but the walk is slow, I have the patience of a saint. I even roll his arthritic legs with the roller and give him hand massages. He actually moans and paw gestures me not to stop. Sometimes he has to sit in the middle of a walk and take a break, and we do. He's the highlight of my day - a sweet older boy who gets a lot of affection from passers-by when we are resting on our walk. I also care for a blind dog and an older cat. My cat was 18 when she passed away, thus I bring patience, love and comfort for senior or ill pets. If your pet needs medications, I'm your sitter. I've administered pills, eye drops/salve, etc. I keep meticulous notes on what medication was given and when. I prefer drop in visits and dog walks at your home, as I can only care for 1 other dog at time in my home. I'm always on time. I book up quickly so please book early, especially for vacations and holidays. If you are on vacation you'll get a daily written report on what we did, and when we did it. I can email/text this with photos or leave you a written report in your home. I'll give you details on how your pet did while you were gone. I always think like the pet parent - what would I want from my pet sitter? You'll get that and a whole lot more. I can't wait to meet you and your pet(s).
