Highlights
Pet care experience
Laid back and flexible pet sitter
I've been a dedicated dog owner for a few years and understand the responsibility, structure, and attention dogs need to thrive and feel comfortable. In addition to caring for my own dog daily, I’ve also provided pet care for friends and family. I believe in treating others the way I would want to be treated, so I prioritize clear communication, consistency, and updates to give pet parents peace of mind while they're away.

Schedule
I work remotely four days a week and off Saturday through Monday, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and interaction. My own dog, Peanut, spends the day with me in my home office, and this allows for a couple of one-on-one play sessions throughout the day. My home office has a sliding door that leads directly to our large, and secure, yard, making potty breaks easy and as frequent as needed.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a school age daughter, and a terrier mix who roams freely, so we’re very mindful about keeping floors and common areas clear of anything that could pose a choking hazard or safety risk. Same goes with the outside. I provide close supervision in a normal household activity and everyday sounds like TV or music. My dog is crate trained; however, we typically use a playpen if a secure space is needed. I am happy to follow each pet's parent's preferences regarding crating, feeding routines, and supervision to ensure every dog feels safe and comfortable.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day starts with a morning potty break and set food and water out. I work from home, so I keep a dog bed and toys in my home office. My dog hangs out there during the day. Throughout the day, dogs have access to the yard, out side my office door, and short play sessions to avoid boredom (like throw ball down the hall). Sometimes I take walks during my lunch. Once my daughter gets home from school, she plays with our dog: running around the house or with her toys. In the evenings, and on weekends, dogs enjoy more active playtime and family interactions. This is where they might stay home alone for 1-2 hours, if my daughter has practice.
