Your pets are my family!

Pet care experience

I am a 32 year old female who loves any and all animals. I currently own 2 cats (Chloe & Guy). We recently had to put my darling lab Lily down but she is always in my heart. I have received my Bachelors in Political Science and my Masters in Policy and Applied Social Research. I enjoy cuddling with my bunnies, reading, hiking, horseback riding, and being newly married! I currently work approximately 9:30 to 5:30 but my employer is flexible with time so I most likely can make your schedule work for me. I am also happy to spend the night and take care of your house as well. I love cuddling your animals, taking them for walks, loving on them, and treating them like my own. I am happy to work with dogs of all sizes, in fact I especially love big dogs! I am also happy to look after any other pets you have in your house and have experience with birds, rabbits, cats,and horses. I have provided my services for several happy clients and would be happy to provide references. - Pet owner - 2 cats - House sitting/pet sitting - Volunteered with RESCUE Cat Shelter - Volunteered with Bethany Animal Shelter - Equine Groom for an Olympic Eventing Team Hopeful - 3 years of experience teaching horseback riding at summer camps - 3 years of hunter/jumper on Drew University Equestrian Team Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs my entire life. I spent most of my childhood begging for a dog but it wasn't until my sister took it upon herself to call a newspaper ad and set up an appointment (without my parents knowledge), that they finally gave in. We then got our lovely yellow lab/husky mix Lilly and she is still our faithful companion. I have been taking care of her since she was a puppy and now that she is an older dog. She has arthritis and dry skin so we administer medication to her on a nightly basis (pills). This has helped me to become very comfortable with giving meds to animals. I also have worked with horses and given them shots, so I am familiar with injections as well. My experience administering medication Yes, I am happy to administer medications. However I would like an in person demonstration so I can see how you do it and how the dog reacts.

Lya is epic! She always took such good care of my dog Axel. Super easy to get a hold of and absolutely incredible. I have used her countless times to watch our dog. She’s fantastic.

Information Lya G. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know what your dog likes and what she/he doesn't. Any of his/her funny quirks like always getting on the counter and eating the bread, sneaking into the back corner of the living room to potty when you're not looking. Really as much as you can tell me is great, that way I can give your pup the best experience possible. I love all breeds of dogs from tiny to huge but I especially love big dogs like Great Danes and Huskies.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog This depends upon your dogs needs and your requirements. I love hanging out with animals and would be more than happy to spend time just sitting and loving on your pets in addition to walks, feeding etc. Extra house-sitting services Yes, I am happy to do any other household tasks requested.
